From Baylor Press Release on Baylor-UCLA Game (link below, as well):
- After watching sophomore post
Kalani Brown record a monster double-double with a career-high 25 points and 19 rebounds,
Kim Mulkey shrugged and said that's exactly what she expects.
"Quite frankly, I've got a lot of post players I can choose from," said Mulkey....
-
Alexis Prince, (guard - 6'2")who finished a rebound shy of a double-double with 15 points and nine boards, opened the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer as part of an 18-2 run that staked Baylor to an 81-63 lead midway through the period.
It's the
italics I noticed. While she can only play so many of these at once, she can throw a lot of them. In addition to the 6'7" Brown that (I assume) you were referring to above, she also has the 6'4" Cox, the 2016 recruiting "it" girl. She barely played against UCLA, but you never know when she'l hit the floor (if not this time, then next).
What's interesting with Baylor is who plays a lot of minutes -- besides Nina Davis, Kristy Wallace didn't leave the floor last night and also had a lot of minutes against Houston Baptist in the opener. Perhaps Kim is not as deep at those positions. What I call "the poise" positions.
Maybe that's where Gabby, Kia, KLS can do their damage. Napheesa and Natalie are going to have an interesting go of it.
Look forward to seeing it (after I watch the Irish take on the Phoenix of Green Bay).
Kalani Brown leads No. 2 WBB in 84-70 Win over No. 9 UCLA
