Baylor at ND tonite ESPN2

[meyers7]

Diggins and Sims both seem reluctant...?

Well Sims is probably a little rusty, she hasn't played in awhile. Diggins? Not sure what her problem is.

 

[Replicant]

Diggins is just not wanting to take her shot

She's a set shot shooter and already had one shot deflected - maybe it got into her head a little. Sims plays inside-your-jersey defense, so I don't expect she'll get a lot of open looks.

33-27 Baylor at the half....

McBride lazy pass...Sims comes alive...

You're stuttering!

 

[Replicant]

So sad. Doris used to be my favorite but now she rarely talks about the action at hand. ESPN disease.

Ditto.

Story of the game...Lloyd and Pope. Those two have provide a big boost for their teams.

This game is reminding me of Stanford. Baylor came out flat that day as well. Stanford like NDwas blanketing BG and the other players not doing a lot even with clear looks. The difference is that today KM figured out how to get BG involved before the first half was over. It'll be interesting to see if Baylor continues to start slow vs. other quality teams.

Skylar for 2...now 1 of 8

 

[Vowelguy]

ND hanging around. Much closer than anticipated.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Lloyd gets the lead

 

[OneTrickPony]

Sims and Diggins block each other...

 

[OneTrickPony]

Prince is now passing up wide open shots...ouch!

 

[John Glass]

are we going to see 50 shots of little Wayne ?

 

[speedoo]

Who has the wnba #2 pick?. Bet they are not in love with Digginsany any more.

Careless passes by ND in the 2nd half; Diggins with more than her share.

Note how Achonwa was well inside the 3-pt line on that jumper with Griner eyeing her while hedging. Still converted.

You don't have to be behind the arc to shoot from the high post against BG. Much of the time she has responsibility for patrolling the whole lane.

 

[OneTrickPony]

ND doesn't handle pressure on the ball too well...you get the impression if Baylor pressed they could run away...

That was a perfect spot for Stef...

 

[OneTrickPony]

Griner looking smooth...

Just admit it's the hooves.

Yep - and BG will similarly be kept honest by the threat of a hi-lo pass.

 

[FairView]

Nobody on the Baylor board thinks that we will go undefeated for several years. Your other comments spot on.

There was plenty of talk about winning 100 straight -- I'm not criticizing, I just thought it showed some naivete. I enjoy reading the posts there and contributing occasionally.

Battle of the point guards:

Diggins 1-11, 4 assts, 3 steals, 3 TOs 2 pts
Sims 1-6, 5 assts, 2 steals, 5 TOs 6 pts

 

[VAMike23]

Beautiful little spin and pop by BG

 

[VAMike23]

Sweet jump hook by Pope

Hang nail...

 

[VAMike23]

Still no Hayden and we're past the 10 min mark....

 

[VAMike23]

WOW SkyDigg with an amazing floater over BG!
