Baylor-Tennessee game thread

My goodness....the refs don't seem to be paying attention to Griner camping out in the lane.

Why isn't Megan Simmons back in the game? She is their best 3 point shooter?
For them to get back into this, they need to make 3's.

Sims is just hitting every big shot.

Sims is money in big games. She may not average 20 a game but when you need 20+ she gives it to you.

They have no confidence that Simmons will not shoot them out of the game.

Well, you know, they might want to try running an offense. As Peck correctly noted at halftime (can't believe I just said that), TN needs to be passing the ball around to get better shots, as opposed to jacking it up right away.

Sims and Bria are similar type players, they thrive on big games. Glad we have Bria, though.

Painfully aware, thanks.

I don't know that they have an offense. I am not saying that to be cruel, but you can usually tell when teams have stuff they are trying to run and just can't because the other team's defense is taking it away, for whatever reason. Tennessee doesn't even look like they know what they are supposed to be doing on their offensive sets. You never know who's going to jack up a shot, from where, at what point in the shot clock. Not well organized at all.

Is Baugh a potty mouth? Did I just see her drop an F bomb as she went to the bench? I must be imagining it. Those Lady Vols are not potty mouths, they are "ladies".

And you wonder why there's few competitive games in WCBB? TN was about to make this game. Down 8, Baylor steps on the baseline...well that's what the first ref ruled...than another ref over rules him and calls a foul...Baylor hits a hoop...than a very quick 3 second call on TN. Man.

They are already out of the game. What's to lose?

 

[ASweet3781]

I will say this, I don't think anyone can beat Baylor if they are going to get the calls as well.

6'8" Griner fouled 5'6" Simmons? Smart.

 

[alexrgct]

Simmons did a good job of making Griner leave her feet on that foul. And a bad job of shooting that second FT.

What on earth happened to Spani's shot? I know she is hurt, but still.

That's the Ruth Riley Effect ....

Late to the party. See Kim is featuring her Elvis outfit.

Nneka-Brittney matchup sounds like fun.

 

[speedoo]

She has knack for finding something to get her fanbase riled up about as a way of deflecting anger from Tennessee's poor performances.

She also makes stuff up. I would not believe her.

 

[alexrgct]

Stricklen's numbers will look good, but if you watched the game, you know she disappeared when Tennessee needed her to keep applying pressure.

 

[speedoo]

That would be Ms Bass.
The team has a chance to cut it single digits and the worst player on the floor decides to shoot a 3.

Why is she even in the game?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Back from dinner... have I missed anything...NOT!

 

[Vowelguy]

Why is she even in the game?

I have been asking that question all season.

 

[easttexastrash]

Yes it should. What does Stanford do with Sims?

 

[Kait14]

What's Tennessee's defense ranked? It's pretty terrible tonight
