oh duh. i tried looking up sportsnet or whatever but i should have known to go to the baylor website. thanks!!!

Most sports sites don't have a running box up. If all else fails, always try one of the team's websites.

Hopefully first big game jitters. I am hopeful that thing clean up in the second half. BU has to make some FTs to win.

2017 FF in Dallas. Woohoo!! Y'all come down now, ya hear?

Baylor shooting 47%. Better than I thought from watching the game.

ESPN has box scores for all the games. http://scores.espn.go.com/ncw/scoreboard

And I'm just thinking, 2018 in Columbus, D'Oh? Woohoo!

All depends on your perspective.

Anyone have a good link for the box score? All the espn links suddenly are about 10x normal size (for me) and can't be viewed in any normal way.

Here is a link to better gametracker that includes a boxscore with minutes played (unlike the ESPN ones that only list minutes played some time after the conclusion of the game).

But 50% from the FT line.

Johnson dribbles WAY too much. Baylor is not passing enough.

 

[easttexastrash]

Baylor went up 14 and then collapsed. Wright fouls the three point shooter.

I have to keep saying "It's early" and the first big game without Odyssey.

 

[Samanthabrown3]

It's early in the season yet. I forget how sloppy most teams look.

 

[ConnPepper]

Wait a minute!!!
There's a game going on
Baylor 47-45

 

[easttexastrash]

This game is so ugly that if Baylor weren't playing I would quit watching.

 

[sarals24]

Ugh this is ugggggly basketball.

 

[Blueballer]

Well it's an exciting game if not a work of art. Thought the KY guard traveled before she passed for that 3.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Who (Baylor) runs the PG 4 feet over the half court line with her back to the basket!! What was that??

 

[HoopsFan21]

Seems like every time I watch Baylor they are always in foul trouble.

 

[Dawson]

Ok the game is over guys, stop it with the time outs and let me see my girls kick some cardinal ass

Very ugly 2nd half for Baylor. I don't see Kentucky as that good - thought Baylor would beat them by at least 10...

From the sidelines at Rupp, my bias shows that we are WAY more athletic and talented that KY, but once their ace started stroking it, our lack of team "meld" wasn't good enough to hold a lead or comeback once they tied it. I don't see Kentucky playing far into March. Big and slow and not much rebounding strength. We have a chance with all of our young talent. Right now with Iesha Smalls on the bench and Prince trying to play her way back into max minutes, we don't have much cohesion on the court. Johnson is an adequate point guard, but looks even more uncertain this year than last year when she knew Odyssey was on the court with her. We tried to get Davis to move out away from the basket and make post moves To the basket instead of just camping underneath and outpositioning bigger ladies, but once KY doubled her, she looked lost offensively. Just a really sloppy game, but with only one senior on the squad and two juniors, playing in front of about 14,000 butts in seats (not the 26,000 announced) got a bit intimidating for our sophs.

Give us time. Kim will have this team working well by conference. Probably not a go-to scorer needed to make it to Tampa Bay, but another elite 8 is not out of the picture, and if Smalls can get back in the mix we add another perimeter player who can create her shot.

Locally I've already made the call. Imani Wright will be our next true star--everything she needs to be an all-conference type shooting guard--elevation, soft shot from any distance, no fear, and quickness to shoot from behind or off of a screen.

We'll be fine. It's just going to take this team a little longer to find its stride. Another conference title is certainly not a reach.

BP, thanks for showing up occasionally and adding some class to the Baylor fan base (me) here... You are like the educated relative who comes in from the city for a family reunion.

And I agree about Wright. She sure has a pure stroke and she can shoot from three point range and off the dribble. I am not sure how her ranking coming out of high school was not higher. Baylor got some real steals in that class: Cave, Wright and Davis. None of them were that highly rated.
