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

Are these binary choices, or can we ,who don't get to watch , be mad at everybody? BTW, I get SEC and BTN but no PAC 12.

Yes you can be mad at everybody. Equal opportunity outrage.

What a great country we live in!

Does BTN or SEC Network provide free streams (to non-subscribers) of games that are broadcast on their network? I get BTN with my cable package, but not SEC. I don't know the answer, but I'm kinda thinking the answer is no. I'm sure Longhorn Network doesn't give stuff away for free.

That's why I'm saying the Pac-12 is the most generous with their WCBB games. What you get from Pac-12 for free, you'd have to pay $14.99/mo with BTN+ in the Big Ten Network. I wouldn't mind saving $45/yr.

If you want to be mad at somebody, be mad at ESPN for not picking the game up. They can broadcast any game they want to and are ahead of Pac 12 Network in the pecking order. So is Fox Sports.

This part I'm not quite understanding. ESPN owns the SEC Network. They're developing the ACC Network to begin in 2019. I don't believe ESPN has the right of first choice of PAC games. It may seem like it sometimes, but I'm sure they're paying the price. I'm glad ESPN doesn't own the Pac-12 Network. Like the Big Ten network, they don't give anything away for free.

Correct, no connection between ESPN and Pac 12 Network. But if you look at men's hoops and football, it sure looks like Pac 12 Network is broadcasting games that ABC, NBC, ESPN and Fox all passed on. I believe they are last in line.

Stanford with the first score.

 

[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.

 

[Shades]

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.
