Baylor (2) @ Texas - 1/31/20

If Sue isn't back and healthy Seattle has no chance for a championship. Canada can't shoot and is a shoot first point guard. Her defense doesn't make up for her lack of not running a good offense. But she was allowed to do that at UCLA.
It will be hard to change her style at this stage of her career.

I think she made strides last year. Don't forget that they were also missing Stewie and Loyd was out for quite a few games. No PG was going to make that offense look great w/ a team full of role players being forced into bigger roles.

I dont know how Aston gets good players.

Orange has a hypnotic effect?

She isn't the best decision maker but improved a lot last year IMO. Stewart's health is far more important than Bird's IMO.

Every team in the WNBA has 2-3 'Joyner Holmes' type players. The difference between them and Holmes is they bring it every game. The same isn't true of Joyner. She'll probably be invited to camp, but with the limited spots available, no team will draft or keep her on the roster.

Holmes, with her skills, can make a nice living playing B. Ball overseas.

Can we just talk about this stat?
7 of 19 from the FT line.
That's almost unbelievable.

The free throws loop, out of the hoop,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The foul shots clank, or miss point blank,
Deep in the heart of Texas.

Nice! But you forgot the all-important clap-clap-clap-clap!



I didn't watch this game, and so I didn't even realize the free throw futility until I read the American-Statesman write-up, which, to the author's credit, didn't attempt to apply lipstick to the pig:

Bohls: Baylor lock, stock and barrels over Texas women | Hookem.com

So much for the heralded Battle of I-35. The skirmish between freeway neighbors Texas and Baylor didn’t materialize Friday night and instead devolved into the Eyesore of I-35, at least for the humbled home team. The second-ranked Lady Bears created a nightmarish experience for the outmatched...

If you want to see what a bad coach is really like, maybe they can try luring Stollings over from Texas Tech.

She doesn’t have the star mentality. It’s not all Aston’s fault. Where did Atkins come from?

I think the Mystics could use a PG. I’ll take a stab at Harris at this point.

Funny that you mentioned this. He was at or announced some of Ty's best games this season. He actually compared her to Cloud during the Clemson game. He was at the Baylor game as well and Ty had a strong performance in front of him.

Do you recall what part of the game he compared her to Cloud? I’d like to make a recording of it

Start at about 6:45 of the 2nd quarter. Actually the lady brought it up and he just commented on it.
