Baylor seems to have rough luck with major injuries in the NCAAT or right before it over the years. Someone always seems to go down with an injury.

Don't talk on a Uconn board about tough injuries before the tournament! We know all about them, as does TN with Ace. One of assistants was the the mascot for the ACL clinic!
 
The Refs don’t tell coaches how they plan to call a game. They tell the coaches and players after the game starts by either blowing or swallowing their whistles. That lets the players know what they can or cannot get away with. They let Baylor hack away all game. The no call at the end was consistent with how they called the game.

The reason we stopped scoring was because the refs didn't call fouls on Baylor on all three missed lay-ups that UConn had, the refs seemed to be swallowing their whistle.

I also think after being beat up all game and the energy it took to do that 19-0 run, they were just gassed at the end. The mental mistake was putting Williams at the line. UConn needed to maneuver where Paige or Evina were at the line. Chrystin has never been a clutch free throw shooter.

I felt the same way during the game and posted as such in the chat room

To me it was not the coach, uconn only had 9 assists, it’s probably not the plan. I would say it was all in the ref’s hands, not much any coach can do...

So coach either didn’t do a good job or the players didn’t listen :)

Nika was a starter. Really wish people would stop marginalizing her contributions to this team.

I’m not marginalizing her contributions. But, comparing her absence to the player that Baylor lost is nuts. Nika is a solid player who deserved to start while Edwards was moving to a higher level of play. Now Edwards has become an extremely valuable piece of the puzzle. Especially tonight where UCONN needed big bodies. IMO Nika is 1st or 2nd off the bench now. And with the recruits coming in, she will have to play hard and well to keep that status. This doesn’t make her a bad player.

Of course he does. Biggest crybaby in the NBA. Next year he'll demand to have his own whistle.

Just watched the end of the game a dozen times - It reminds me of a car at high speed driven into a redwood grove, then complaining when your windshield is broken. Carrington drove hard into 2 UConn players in a suicide drive, & ran into elbows & bodies in place. For a team that likes to play rough, to cry foul in this situation is a little much.

Wondering if any of Baylor’s seniors will return next year. They are a tough team. I would have to imagine quite a few of them are ready to go into the draft.

I got Covid shot two yesterday afternoon and last night and today have the full menu of side effects. I was recording the game hoping by 7 I'd feel better - not to be. I was dozing until 8:30. I decided that there was no way I'd avoiding hearing the score so I went ahead and checked. I figured if we lost I could put off watching the game and if we won see it tomorrow without the stress.

After reading the posts I surely missed a great game. Looking at the box score I see we had nine total assists, with none by Paige or CW. Very strange.

Because of the missed bunnies in the beginning of the game.
 
Thought that the officiating was very consistent Allowed a very physical game that certainly favored Baylor
Given the way the game was called no way the

Is that a foul
Other random observations
Ms griffin had a fabulous game. No indecision great d on the two charges

EW looked fatigued at the end believe she
Played the whole 40. Would sure help to have NM back even if not 100 percent

CW and AE improvement over the the
2nd half of the season is amazing
Props to them and the coaches

would be hard pressed to think of
A stronger more physical team than Baylor
That I’ve seen over the past 25 years

after tough losses the last 3 years it was
Really nice to win a close one

I want Nika in the game very much, but the 5 today seems to the team. Do you run Nika in & out, when Ono/AE have too many fouls? There are games....say Stanford, where we need 2 bigs - but if they can be lured into fouling.... Aubrey's defense against Smith was wonderful. UConns courage, toughness, & grit is most wonderful - & Geno's coaching in the tightest & toughest of games is incredible.

The way they let them play is the game Nika loves to play. She could have helped with Carrington
 
Presented without comment.

Some thoughts on the Baylor game:
  • Considering that 2 of the top 3 defensive teams in the country were playing each other, it sure didn’t look like it after they combined to put up 50 pts in the 1st qtr.
  • It was great to see the Huskies come out hot, but Baylor is too good a defensive team, so it was always going to be a grind it out game.
  • The game changed when Aaliyah went out for UConn and Carrington came in for Baylor. From then on Baylor started crashing the boards and ramped up their defense.
  • The game changed again when Richards popped a hamstring, allowing Paige to get some room to maneuver on offense.
  • What a great defensive stop by the Huskies to come away with the victory.
  • That was incredibly stressful. I’m sure glad it’s over
  • UConn advances to the 13th straight FF, although none of them were quite as hard as this one.

Baylor coach gave no congrats or credit to UCONN for a job well done. She is a usually classy coach who could not rise above the fact she lost. It was a game a runs and who know if the conclusion would have been different with DIdi. They went down 16 to 4 with her on the court
