Baylor looks very tough...very tough!

I think you are using your heart, not your eyes.

Nope, just my eyes. I did make a typo when I wrote I like Iowa St a lot. Meant to say I like watching them a lot, with all the three point shots they can put up. No likes or dislikes of those teams, just like watching the games.

I'm not so sure Baylor should get a number one seed just for winning the Big 12. Smith is a good ballplayer, one of the best, but I don't consider beating Oklahoma, who today literally stood still and watched Baylor shoot the ball and then didn't blockout a rednecked soul, as impressive as some seem to. And they lost to them twice. Also, although I like Iowa St a lot, beating them is, for me, beating a Top 12 team not a Top 8, as they have been ranked. I haven't watched Texas play as much as the others because I can't stand watching that coach on a pogo stick bouncing around the sidelines. Louisville didn't help themselves, but I'm not sure Baylor is the one to jump them. But then, I use my eyes to make this assessment, not a stat sheet or a schedule.

Thanks for the laugh! Baylor is one of the hottest teams right now along with Kentucky!

Baylor is unbeatable right now……oh……wait.

In all seriousness, this wasn’t an “any given day” kind of game. Texas dominated this one. Vic had a plan, and it was executed brilliantly.

No sane person thought Baylor was unbeatable. Its a good team that was on a roll for a while but Texas is playing very good basketball right now too.

Anyone is capable of being beat, I don't see any team in the country that is unbeatable. Could see a lot of upsets depending on matchups, which we will know very soon.

100% right.

Most of it has to do with player matchups and scheme matchups. Those could make a team look like world-beaters one day, then look feeble the next.....

 

[PoppaBear]

And Baylor's lack of a bench finally bit em. A three day tournament is really tough on team with 8 scholarship players.

I watched a 2022 Baylor recruit today play in her team's state championship game. She was named Missouri Gatorade POY. Her last name is Fontleroy (sp) and she is good. Unfortunately, her team played Incarnate Word Academy, Napheesa Collier's alma mater, that had won 67 games in a row and four straight State championships. Now it's 68 in a row. They won 67-50 but she had an outstanding game. She should give Baylor help next season.

I was glad to see the Bison get the win in the playin game. They were totally overmatched vs South Carolina; I hope they enjoyed the experience. IIRC they were Div. II within the last decade.

Did you notice todays games on ABC UConn at 1 Tenn to follow. NO other teams. Both are huge draws and CBS got'em. Follow the money.

What does that have to do with this thread? Are you replying to someone specifically, but failed to quote their post?

No, Howard has been in the MEAC for 50 years.

Not only was I wrong about that, I also posted it to the wrong thread (intended for the tourney thread).

Baylor not looking so tough. South Dakota up 42 - 28 with 4 minutes left in the 3rd.

 

[triaddukefan]

Does this still qualify as a BY Jinx thread???

 

[BballFan]

They don’t look good at all right now

 

[FedupFred]

Baylor got creamed

Maybe Kim knew what she was doing.

Well I thought they did too. No lie lol but I didn't make the post.

Let me flee to sicem and read what Baylor fans talking about.

 

[ed4ourgirls]

I expect Louisville fans to be smiling now. Probably South Carolina fans too.

if I could like this 1,000 times I would! The shocked look on their faces in a game I think they expected would be a cakewalk - it was priceless. Loved seeing Baylor go down! the excitement by the South Dakota team was so fun to see.

Make sure you tell them I say hi!

Are you gloating at another in-state, in conference school going down in a crash and burn defeat?

I would never...

Recap:

-The roster is thin
-Kim left a mess for Coach Collen and was letting the program burn down
-Smith was not 100%
- Collen needs more time to install her WNBA offense
-Bad shooting night
-Owens twisted her ankle
-Refs were inconsistent
-Collen didnt make adjustments

Don’t sleep on Baylor! We are playing our best basketball right now!

Looks like South Dakota didn't lose any sleep.

 

[Blakeon18]

Uhh..when I wrote that Baylor was looking tough..I thought exactly that.
I'm delighted they went down...South Dakota has looked incredibly legit in carving
up power 5 Mississippi and now power 5 Baylor.

Having 2 seeds Iowa and Baylor out so early surprises me.
Having Baylor and Kentucky [both teams men and women... in round one
for the Wildcats] out before the second weekend surprises me. Wish I were a betting soul
and had put down a bob or two on that 4 team combo.

My predictive abilities are suspect for sure.

women: sweet 16 Iowa State and Creighton in Greensboro! My ...uhhh...'bet' is that ESPN execs
were in tears when the Big Cz missed that 2 footer to tie ISU in the last second. No Caitlin...no Iowa...Iowa/Iowa State would draw lots of fans...but delighted that Creighton made the BE proud.
