Baylor beats WVU 74-71

Please be aware that many folks on this board like and respect Mike Carey and WVU. Do not be surprised if we do not share your opinion. And please show the respect for them that you expect us to show for Baylor.

I also respect WVU and my post gave no indication that I don't, nor has any other comment I've ever made about Carey and his program. However, I don't want to see them win a conference title because that would mean that Baylor did not. So please don't try to make my response something that it was not.

Such a hateful little reply.


I did not expect a Bug 12 regular season championship and a tourney championship and the chance of a 1 seed, which is still a possibility.

Baylor exceeded the expectations of basically everyone that follows women's basketball.

??? I have nothing against Baylor and you may have a case for Mulkey being COY, but not based on exceeding expectations. Who was it that "everyone that follows women's basketball" expected to win the Big 12 this year? Serious question. Even if it wasn't Baylor, with whom people thought was the best point guard in the country, I think "everyone" is a little carried away.

You are correct, though, in pointing out few would think Baylor to be a 1 seed. I would have guessed a two seed before the season. Unlike the past few years, where there were four strong teams at the top, there are only two this year.

I didn't interpret it as a slam on WVU, but a back-handed way of saying he hopes Baylor continues to be at the top.

on edit, oops hadn't seen your response when I posted, glad to see we are on same page.

On another note , did anyone note the play of Bria Holmes ? She is quite a talent. Long , athletic , can handle the ball , shoot from 3 , and run the floor. I was impressed with her overall game last night. WVU has a very good player.

It is worth noting that except for Baylor holding the line against WVU the former and current Big East teams won 3 and almost a 4th in their diaspora.
