Baylor (3) @ Stanford (11) - 12/15/18

[Plebe]

I spot Brian Agler in the first row under the Baylor basket.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Cox has been a liability

 

[Plebe]

Stanford ice-cold from 3 so far. They can run hot and cold but they need to make their open looks when they get them.

 

[nwhoopfan]

5 minutes in and I changed the channel. Both teams look bad. Not a good game at all thus far.

 

[Shades]

I spot Brian Agler in the first row under the Baylor basket.

I wonder if a WNBA team has unofficially hired him? Dallas won't have a shot at Kalani Brown, burt Alaina Smith might be worth a look in a later round.

 

[Plebe]

Not an offensive showcase so far, but Stanford is doing a good job so far on defense.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Slow start for both teams this quarter

 

[SECbbfan24]

I don't understand giving the ball to Kalani brown and letting her try to shoot with 3/4 players on her


Dumb

 

[Rixxx]

Thanks for the updates.

17-13 STAN end of first

 

[SECbbfan24]

Why has Smith's playing time for Baylor dropped? She has been a big impact for most the year so far

 

[Rixxx]

That must have been brutal to watch.

 

[Plebe]

If Stanford could've shot better than 2-11 from 3, they'd have a sizable lead now. Most of those misses were open looks.

 

[JordyG]

At the first TO Baylor, as is typical of most of Mulkey's recent teams, is having an issue with Stanford's quickness and pace of play. Baylor has allowed Stanford's guards to dictate the play from the arc so far, and Stanford has not turned over the ball. 17-13.

 

[MSGRET]

That must have been brutal to watch.

It is, if Baylor plays like this against UConn, they have no chance at all.

 

[JordyG]

Stanford may begin to pick it up from the arc. They're getting wide open looks, and Baylor is showing they lead the country in rebounding because they can't shoot for spit, their slow up front and on the wing, and their ball movement stinks. 23-13, 8:23 in the 2nd as Stanford has started to hit some 3's,

 

[Shades]

Smith getting hot.... 2 threes in a row.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Chloe Jackson is having a very rough game

 

[Plebe]

And just as I say that, Alanna Smith hits back-to-back 3s and Stanford is up by 10.

 

[Shades]

Kalani Brown sitting early in the 2nd quarter with two fouls.

 

[JordyG]

Mulkey has already decided to remove her big lineup to try to keep pace with Stanford's quickness. If they're having issues with Stanford pace of play, wait until they see UConn.

 

[Rixxx]

Where is Cox for BU?

 

[SECbbfan24]

Baylor unloading all their freshmen on the floor now

 

[JordyG]

Baylor can't shoot for spit.

 

[SECbbfan24]

How can Baylor miss so many layups?

 

[JordyG]

Cox just couldn't keep up with Stanford's pace and Mulkey decided to go smaller and quicker even though it meant less experienced. 28-16 5:30 left in the half. Now 31 -16.

 

[Shades]

Mulkey has already decided to remove her big lineup to try to keep pace with Stanford's quickness.

Mulkey always sits players with two fouls in the first half. Pretty religious about it.

 

[JordyG]

Because of Stanford's early shooting woes this game is actually closer than it should be. Stanford looks at least 20 points better than Baylor at this point.

 

[JordyG]

Mulkey always sits players with two fouls in the first half. Pretty religious about it.

They got those fouls because they couldn't handle both the pace of play and Stanford's quickness.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Baylors's freshmen matchup much better with Stanford than Brown/Cox
