Baylor Postgame Thread

In that one play.

if they hadn’t of swallowed their whistles on the three drives in the fourth where Paige missed a layup and was clearly fouled..or when Williams went to the basket with no foul..maybe it’s an 8 point game instead of a 2...

that’s why you can’t look at the game in pieces. They swallowed their whistles the whole game, why should it change on that one play?

Good point. They are supposed to enforce the rules, not decide to relax them.

So was Didi's injury a hamstring issue?

 

[hoopsfan22]

By the way UConn won this game without their starting point guard.

 

[JordyG]

Were they on Twitter after the officials gave them the Michigan game?

Good point.

 

[Carnac]

If you noticed Geno was yelling at Paige after the play. Paige was suppose to set a screen then peel off and take the in bounds. She failed and Geno was really hot.

The freshmen are learning and making mistakes now they won’t make going forward.

Andy Landers handles the question more gracefully. Credits UConn for the 19-0 run as opposed to focusing on the last play

LeBron says it was a foul. Lol

LeBron go shill some more for China, shut up here.

Hey, everyone, relax. This is a bunch of college teenagers playing a game. It’s not war, and it’s not life. They’re doing an exceptional job at what they do. Were they my daughters, I’d be overjoyed at their success.

They asked Geno if he saw last play and he said "They took 11 FT's in first half and we took 2 , are we going to go back and look at all of those calls too?"

That was the game IMO and Kim handled it poorly not using a timeout while Paige carved them up.

.....and Aaliyah on the bench most of the first half.

 

[Geesworld]

Like Kim Mulkey said write it up as you see it.

 

[DEpup]

It was technically a foul, but not in that game.

Paige dealt with more contact every time she drove to the basket.

Williams dealt with more contact the okay before that was a no call.

if it isn’t a foul on one end, it’s not on the other.

A let them play style suited Baylor far more than UConn..they can’t then whine about the refs letting them play.

Great comment! You should be a commentator! They weren't calling those fouls all game so shouldn't call it in the last second either.

 

[lebronfan23]

The media isn’t crying about this no call

 

[Tonyc]

I mean it was a foul but they didn't call fouls on both teams all game.

Im sick of how many times UConn bodies were on the floor and no fouls.. This pic is not a foul based on how the game was called. The over the back calls werent called, the flagrant call on Paiges layup when Carrington almost took her head off and fans think that is is a foul with less then a second left???????????. Please give me a break. The only reason why Baylor was in the game was UConn got some home Texas cookin just like TAM got. In the first qtr UConn got killed and Liv was in foul trouble allowing Baylor to go to the line and stay in the game. If Liv and Edwards arent in foul trouble we win by alot. Baylor was in the game only because they lived at the foul line in the first half. In this pic they werent off their feet and arms leaning a little bit, no slapping or hacking. Next Didi was out and that wouldve made a difference.. Well Liv and Edwards were out a long time too but nobody is talking about that. Call it either way I guess but considering how the game was called Baylor didnt deserve it. UConn went on a 19-0 run and earned this win and thank goodness the refs didnt take it away from them. If Baylor played this physical at Stanford they wouldve all fouled out. JMO folks. Im not happy on how the game was called. It was call that way and we have to accept it and so does everybody else.

While it was unfortunate that DiDi was hurt during the 2nd half, let's not forget that UCONN was missing their point guard for the whole game. Muhl would have made a difference defensively & might have hit a couple of timely threes!

DiDi when pressed is turnover prone, Nika would have helped there. She would have that extra body to spell A guard

 

[SECbbfan24]

I honestly hope the players don't go to social media. Hate to see that. I'm sure there is a lot of emotions going one right now and everyone is heated.

 

[todbo]

That's very gracious. I think the outcome would have been different if the Lady Bears didn't lose Richards with a hamstring injury.

Somehow the widespread focus on Richards' injury overlooks the fact that Nika missed all 40 minutes due to an injury.

 

[BBallF]

We just needed the extra body off the bench. Aubrey did some good things, but she also did some things that showed inexperience. I think Nika even as a freshman is a steadying force.

Yes, but more importantly she is a great on ball defender of the opposing point guard. She would have stretched their offense by slowing down Didi instead of it being packed in. Big difference between an 8 foot pass and a 15 foot one.

 

[hoopsfan22]

.....and Aaliyah on the bench most of the first half.

I just wanted to point out that we had some things working against us too. Everyone acting like UConn was just handed this game. Yeah we'll never know how it would have turned out if Richards doesn't get hurt. Or if the refs call a foul at the end of the game. Or if our starting point guard that is at least partly responsible for how good the team played down the stretch was available. Or if the refs called a bunch more fouls on Baylor as they could have. People are just looking to put an asterisk on this win because UConn is the evil empire of WCBB.

 

[Nolefan]

LeBron says it was a foul. Lol

Biggest cry baby in the nba and he got the benefit of a no call with the heat fouls on him that helped them win a ship .. as big and strong as he is he sure gets blown over by the wind easily

And this wasn't a foul? Lol.

 

[Cecil9]

Great game for UCONN---they beat a very good team, and it took a lot of courage and just plain grit to win it.
Just thought to add some sweet relish to the caveat salad.

 

[Bills Fan]

Aubrey had impact, super defense, those two charges she earned- love it, don’t always have to score to contribute

I just watched AG's first charging foul at the beginning of the 2nd QTR. Without any doubt, the defender was inside the arc around the basket. That makes it a blocking foul not charging. The official , 2 ft away, never even looked. There were many judgment call that were made or not made on both teams, but if you are inside that small arc you cannot get a charging foul called on the other team. It's not judgment, it's black and white in the rule book.

 

[BobbyJ]

Lets give a shoutout to Aubry, some great Defensive stops

I thought for long stretches Carrington was the hungriest player on the court
who wanted the game more than anyone else...but Aubrey neutralized some of her aggressiveness, just enough

And Aaliya when she was back in...important plays and boards on both sides of the court.

And yes, Christyn missed foul shots at he end...but throughout, she was fearless
scoring amongst the threes. A quiet 21 points...all needed.

That's one of the dumbest things anyone can ever say about a BB game. How did you gauge that? You knew what was in the other 9 kids' minds? Try telling them that.
And Williams was fearless but didn't want the game as much as Carrington? That's ridiculous.
