Baylor (4) @ South Carolina () - 12/2/18

[Pie43]

Because DAWN STALEY is second rate coach, all those recruits and no coach, I feel sorry for them

 

[SECbbfan24]

This looks like a recreational game for Baylor

 

[Bernie]

It's very kind of SC guards to escort Baylor guards to the rim unimpeded.

 

[Pie43]

Agree, Kim Mulkey like her or hate her, she is a very serious coach

 

[Plebe]

Damn, what a beatdown. They just spent like 5 minutes interviewing A'ja Wilson because the carnage on the court is apparently not fit for viewing anymore.

Yes, that’s why she was chosen to be coach of the US Olympic National team

 

[shizam]

This current version of the Gamecocks is just awful. They continue, as they have every year, to be terrible shooters, run the break poorly, have poor spacing, and this year, poor size up front.

Gee, sounds like a fundamental problem called coaching.

Dawn Staley doesn’t scare anyone as a coach. I could coach a team to 3 assists in an entire game like she recently accomplished.

 

[DefenseBB]

I do think programs need to consider HOW all these top recruits can and should play together. Bringing in 6, 7, 8 or even 9 McDonalds AA’s like Texas, SC, Tenn does, you need to know if the personalities can mesh. At the moment, Karen and more so Dawn have some serious work to do with their rosters. It might only get worse with 5 new recruits coming in next year.

 

[Vowelguy]

I think a good chunk of the freshmen are locks to start given what we are seeing now for SC

South Carolina has zero answers for the bigs

Cooper is the entire SC team

Probably start
Cooper (Sr)
Harris (Sr)
Herbert-Harrigan (Sr)
Boston (Fr)

with Cooke (Fr), Beal (Fr), Jackson (Jr), Grissett (Jr) ?

 

[SECbbfan24]

It will be interesting to see where SC finishes in the conference. They will get obliterated by MSU, but the rest of the conference is very bad. Kentucky and Tennessee will have solid teams but there is a major drop off after.

Georgia is not very good, LSU is bad. Florida and Vandy are a train wreck

 

[UConnCat]

According to Debbie A, Dawn said her team need to make 12 three-pointers to win the game.

SC is not capable of making 12 threes against a team like Baylor. With 3+ minutes left (Baylor up by 24 points) SC has attempted 13 threes and made 3.

Strange thing to say.

 

[shizam]

Debbie A is tons better calling a game than the three musketeers

 

[SECbbfan24]

I've never seen a team miss so many wide open 3's


And a lot of these kids were highly rated recruits. Its mind boggling to say the least.

 

[MikeBlue]

When Baylor is rolling they are a problem! Go Huskies!

 

[Plebe]

South Carolina has made Maryland and now Baylor look like world-beaters.

 

[wallman]

It’s gonna be throw it up to Boston the next four years

Not if they cannot hit 3s, it will be sag in the paint.

 

[DeeHusky]

Not if they cannot hit 3s, it will be sag in the paint.

It’s always been that; they have never been a good shooting team.

 

[wallman]

It’s always been that; they have never been a good shooting team.

You can say that again, but why would she chose them knowing she may never touch the ball. Wilson had other bigs to play with.

 

[eebmg]

Finally, can watch the cornhole championships.

 

[bballnut90]

Good win by Baylor. Brown looks very good and the guard play solid. SC looks like a mess but theyll improve defensively and could give some teams trouble as the year goes on. Would love to see more of the freshmen...Smith, Egbo and Decosta all look very athletic, hope we see more of those 3 as the year goes on.

Egbo from a distance looked a lot like a smaller but more athletic Kalani Brown. Up close she looks similar to Anriel Howard IMO, she could don the "lashes" nickname too.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Baylor has Stanford and UCONN before conference play. They will roll through the big 12. Texas sure as hell isn't stopping them.

I do like Baylor freshmen a lot. All should see significant time pretty much all of conference play. Ursin looks like a brand new player compared to last season.

Adding Chloe gives them some consistency from the outside with her intermediate jumpers.

 

[wallman]

Does Mulkey have the chutzpah to play the youngins over the upper class? We will see when they play against decent teams.

 

[Jmsdawg]

Agree SC looks terrible but anyone who think they will be elite next because of their recruits is forgetting relying on freshmen is risky. Boston’s level of competition next likely challenge her, I believe you have to have returning elite players to be elite.

South Carolina has made Maryland and now Baylor look like world-beaters.

That kind of worries me that Oregon St. barely beat S. Carolina.
