Baylor vs. Mississippi State Game Thread

Question, since I've been out of coaching for a few years: after receiving a pass in the foul lane, a player has three seconds to shoot or get out? Brown spent almost five in there with the ball, though she was making pivots.

Clearly since you've coached the new rules have gone into effect. Those rules state a player may stay in the lane without the ball until the next commercial break. C'mon coach, catchup.

Meanwhile MSS is doing what I suspected. Playing this talented but raw Baylor team tough. There players with experience, Jones and Davis are matched by the inexperience and "young" play of almost all of the others. Mulkey has continued have success with this group but I don't really see the improvement in players beyond the starters. Brown, because of her size, continues to show good footwork only occasionally. Mompremier continues to be effective mostly in transition, and her freshman have showed, IMO, virtually no real progress. But Mulkey's team just has talent to spared and it's enough to crush most teams. MSS however isn't most teams, and they play with poise. We'll see. Go Schaefer.
 
State still way too soft on transition defense. The last lay up fpr Baylor should have been a lay down.
 
What happened to MSU post player, last name starts with an M. She's been out of the game forever.

Miss State stays in this as long as the perimeter shots fall. Ugh - Brown again!
 
How does 45 for MSS constantly lose her mark on defense? Almost every Brown layup has been contested by another teammate. Glad to see 15 return.

William is so fast. May be as fast as Mo.

Last year Mo showed she was WAY faster at every turn. MSS needs to attack more instead of giving up on running their offense. Schaefer said if we're going to jack 3's, send in my daughter.

I think Baylor is making a mistake by not pressuring the ball. They have a super deep bench and should play more defense. They could easily absorb extra fouls.
 
The longer Miss St stays in this game, I think the pressure starts to begin for Baylor. They're supposed to win and be the Home Team in Dallas for the F4. Many also think they are the most talented team this year.

And so far they are letting Miss St dictate the pace.
 
Natalie Chou getting extended burn for Baylor so far. I don't remember her playing this many minutes early in any Baylor game this year. Two fouls on Wallace but I would think Prince slides down and plays guard.

Stanford is our streak buster. I couldn't care less what the Samuelsons want. Let them play each other in their driveway in May.

MSS is actually trying to play this game for the 4th period. Wear them down and hope BU gets gassed. Not a bad strategy against a Mulkey team that to me has questionable conditioning.
 
I think Baylor thought this was going to be a lot easier than it is so far..

Was thinking about that earlier today that might be the best strategy against a team like Baylor. Just run run run which we know UConn can do.

No and K Brown does look pretty winded already.

You guys hoping to get Stanford really love tempting fate don't you?

Yes!!! Makes it more interesting that way. Hoping Baylor beats Miss State today too, so the Huskies can prove it head-to-head against Baylor again before the big showdown with Stanford :D
 
Good idea by MSS not to cover Davis at all. Occasionally not even looking her way.
 
Mississippi State need to stop the passes to Baylor's bigs..they have no answer for that.
 
Come on Kim - Throw your fit! Your team's not scoring 100 tonight!
