Baylor-Tennessee game thread

[alexrgct]

This senior lineup continues to be gimmicky and dumb.

 

[alexrgct]

Stricklen with a nice play. Transition points key for LVs.

 

[alexrgct]

Glory with a sweet 18 footer.

 

[alexrgct]

Good news for LVs- they're up 9-4 at the under-16. Bad news- Griner hasn't made her presence felt yet. Stricklen with seven points early.

I don't care what anyone says. This Baylor team can be beat. They play way too laid back at times for a team of their talent level.

It would be an uphill battle for anyone, but their margin for error is nowhere near as great as UConn's in 2002, 2009, or 2010.

Glory seems to have missed the memo that Griner is 6'8"

 

[ASweet3781]

These regional games should be pretty damn good. Thats the good thing about having the best teams advance.

 

[alexrgct]

Beautiful layup by Sims to give BU its first lead. Glory needs to play better than she has for Tennessee to have a chance.

Simmons in,how long before she takes a shot?

 

[alexrgct]

To beat Baylor, you need to run patient, disciplined offense. Tennessee is not doing that.

 

[alexrgct]

Not long. And it was hideous. But she will compete. If I'm the LVs, I'll take her any day over Manning in the lineup.

Yup but still only down 3. Baylor with a helter skelter effort so far.

 

[semper]

Pretty sloppy so far...

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Just like that! LOL

 

[semper]

Man, the commentary is awful.

 

[ASweet3781]

Nice steal by Simms.

 

[alexrgct]

Simmons has to be big for Tennessee to have a chance. That 16 footer was encouraging for Tennessee.

 

[alexrgct]

Baugh taking three pointers is not encouraging.

Johnson with a nice jumper.

Sims responds immediately.

 

[ASweet3781]

As great as Griner is, if Simms wasn't as good, Baylor wouldn't be undefeated.

 

[Vowelguy]

TN had a good start but they needed it to last longer -- needed to be on fire the way KY was last night. Their hope was to get the crowd into it and get Bay nervous.

They'll make another run at some point but I don't see Bay wilting. The Vols really needed to be playing from in front.

 

[alexrgct]

As great as Griner is, if Simms wasn't as good, Baylor wouldn't be undefeated.

Correct. Sims is hell on wheels. Certainly made the difference late against Uconn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Game is pretty much over IMO. Tennessee could not afford to get down by 6 early...

Griner is an underachiever in terms of her rebounding. I love her free throw shooting, jump hook, and defense, but she needs to do a better job of boxing out. I realize I am not the first one to point this out of course.

 

[ASweet3781]

Is it wrong I'm not even sure who I want to win this? I guess we can't lose. Either Baylor is out or the Vols fans are miserable. Win/win?

 

[ASweet3781]

That's why you can't triple Griner. Simms will kill you.
