Baylor vs. Mississippi State Game Thread

[MumboJumbo]

They need to get Brown in foul trouble.

Brown has zero fouls at the moment. I fully expect her to go off for the rest of the game. MS St needs to keep pace. Very impressed with Morgan Williams so far.

Yikes, scary, right! No way anyone's going to beat them. UConn is so doooooommmed.

We should just forfeit rather than embarrass ourselves.

Gail Goestenkors is a Hall of Famer?

Yup, I just looked it up myself as I thought that odd as well. Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.
2015. I think it's at Univ of Tenn. Anyone know for sure?

I think Kantner missed a Baylor travel.

Baylor does not enjoy playing D. Mississippi State needs to stop fouling.

Not a lot of people seem to have noticed that Vic has solved some of his scoring issues in the tournament - 100+ first round and 90+ against DePaul. They only scored 75 against UW but still won by 11. They are big, they have some speed on the perimeter, and they have stayed out of foul trouble - no MSS player has more than 1 foul. Meanwhile with Baylor having the exact same number of fouls Wallace picked up three.
Baylor has shot 59% and trails by three!

Another good point. In fact all of the remaining teams in the tourney emphasize ball movement and spreading the floor. Except Baylor. Even SC without Coates has found success spreading the floor. Some say the team is better for it.

 

[Blueballer]

Come on girls - don't miss the free ones!

 

[Blueballer]

Don't let them get up a head of steam!

if i were a UCONN fan, i would def be rooting for MS. baylor is the only team left that could even challenge your team

 

[Blueballer]

FSU disagrees.

Ominous signs for MSU at the end of that QTR. Bad Vivian has shown up.

Well - the FF is in Dallas after all..

 

[mntncougar]

Rooting hard for MS. Right now it doesn't seem to be helping much. A 5 foot pt guard can't do it all by herself.

 

[UConnNick]

no, no, no. they are scary good; absolutely unbeatable. maybe the best team since UConn's early 2000s teams.

Baylor could beat at least half the teams in the WNBA. They're a juggernaut.

 

[CocoHusky]

Mississippi State 1 Turnover through 3 quarters and still losing by 1 point- remarkable.

 

[Blueballer]

I'm shocked that Baylor hasn't gotten really physical until this half. What are they afraid of? They have a ton of players.

Maybe we'll find out if that pantsuit is being held together with snaps. That thing would fly like a wind sock.

Just showed a close-up in the sideline interview. It's a zipper. Don't think it's coming off, but will be big news if it does!

 

[GoUconn7961]

You HAVE to make your free throws!

 

[GoUconn7961]

I'm not sure either team wants this game..

 

[ASweet3781]

Both of these teams tight right now.

 

[UConnNick]

Kim's gonna burst a blood vessel if she's not careful.

 

[uconnever]

Cmon state

 

[GoUconn7961]

Wow - Davis looks really ticked off.

 

[JordyG]

So now, what's it going to be, who gets the last shot?
