Baylor beats WVU 74-71

[Icebear]

She has an incredible physique!

As much as I love Nina Davis, DeShields is still the POY to me.

I think you mean ROY.

I will grant that if the development of Simms supporting cast went exactly as Mulkey planned, coming to fruition now, that was masterful coaching.

But exceeded expectations? Expressed after the fact? Granted they gave UConn a closer game than you or anyone else expected. Given what the season revealed about the quality of all the other teams they faced, when else did Baylor exceed your expectation? Who did they beat that you now look back on and say "Great win against a team that should have beat us!" (besides WVU, to whom they also lost) Who did they beat (besides WVU) that you would not expect any other top 15 team to beat? What? In hindsight you think beating Oklahoma State exceeded expectations? You must have low expectations.

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.

If you have upset or wearied digger then you have burned out one of the most patient posters around.

I think Baylor has played their way into a 1 seed, with Louisville and Stanford as 2 seeds

I think they deserve it, but won't get it.

Hopefully no time soon.

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.

??? 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.
