Baylor vs. Mississippi State Game Thread

[Vowelguy]

Kim's first championship with the two best teams not in the final 4 - UConn and Tennessee. That was 2005 I believe.

Tennessee was in the final 4 that year, and lost in the semis.
The UConn team was certainly not one of the 2 best teams. In fact probably the worst Husky team in the past 24 years.

OK - time for lights out. I have an early workday tomorrow and I need to rest up for tomorrow night! What a day!!

 

[triaddukefan]

Yeah, there will be a lot of tickets available outside that arena Friday morning.

Its not like they brought a bunch of fans to OKC. I guess they were waiting for the games in Dallas to attend.

If there are any Baylor fans lurking here I will gladly take those tickets off your hands.

All these upsets will keep us on our toes

It sure did last season.

Mississippi State becomes the second SEC team to get to the FF since 2008 and TN's last appearance.

I agree. I think when they saw their bracket, a lot of assumptions were made and they thought they'd save some money by not making both trips.

Baylor shot 53% to MS State 43% When's the last time someone had a ten point margin on field goal percentage and lost?

It was an unusual game.

I love Dawn but as Adolph Rupp said, "That's why we play the game".

So that's who said that. Thanks.

Go to the Baylor board. Probably lots of available tickets there. But hurry - before they burn them.

Getting ready to stick pins in his Dawn Stanley doll.

Dawn who?

 

[Gus Mahler]

No, just on her chest.

Great post.

I hope we win it all, but I just didn't want Maryland,Baylor,ND mostly to win it. Secondly I don't want Stanford or South Carolina. If not us, I want Florida state.

I agree except I would prefer MS over Florida State. Uconn has got to beat Oregon and MS because if SC beats FS, their chances of winning it all could be very likely seeing how they have beaten MS twice this already season.

When's the last time a team had 4 turnovers? In a tourney game.

 

[CaliHuskyFan]

MS State's got some game. Only 4 turnovers in a 45" game - that's impressive.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

The final four is already sold out.

And surely your not suggesting that the NCAA is interfering by telling referees what to do.

It may be sold out now but let's see how many tickets become available in the next 24-48 hours! I'm sure a lot of Baylor fans will be posting on stubhub later

Yep. I believe Tennessee was upset by a Joanne P Mcauley Michigan State team if my memory is correct.

Yes

The last time she won a big game

Yesterday in the UCLA game I think they only had 4 turnovers.

 

[housekeys]

all-in-all, today was a good day for WCBB.

Clearly, ND, Baylor and Maryland losing is bad for the game. Winning is never bad.

 

[housekeys]

Yesterday in the UCLA game I think they only had 4 turnovers.

For UConn, I think this is the most important statistic to control. And fouls, IMO.

 

[gamer]

I wonder what happened to east texas trash. I'm sure he/she is not happy tonight, but they always had a lot of good commentary.

 

[wvhuskyfan]

Florida State kept UConn out of the ACC. They should never win.

I thought it was Boston College.

 

[housekeys]

Feel bad for Baylor's K Wallace. She is being thrown under the bus by a great portion of Baylor "fans". No single player should carry the burden of a team loss. Granted, she did not play well, but she is one reason Baylor achieved as much as they did the whole season. Furthermore, it is a team game. Others should have had to step up.

 

[UConnNick]

I thought it was Boston College.

Combination of both, along with Clemson. The Carolina schools wanted us.

 

[Nuyoika]

Give her a little credit... she did beat SCar this season.

 

[Buzzyboy]

Right here baby!!! How are u???

You remind me of that Bobby Goldsboro song, "See the funny little clown" and you don't seem to have any problem continuing to be the obnoxious, schnook whose mission in life is to aggravate as many people as possible, as often as possible and I'm wondering what'll happen if UConn wins their next three games and hoist that trophy! I'm sure you've got some other idiotic remark or comeback to provoke people. You actually sound like a dangerous guy because it seems that you crave attention and will do anything to get it. Right now you want to terrorize this board but maybe someday, that won't be enough for you.

 

[Buzzyboy]

I'm always frustrated when people act like what we do is SO easy and such a foregone conclusion. Notre Dame and Baylor gone the same day. Real easy, isn't it?

It seems like deja vu, as both teams lost as No. 1 seeds last year prior to the Final Four. When you seemingly are the favorite to get out of your bracket and you continue to fall short, maybe you're doing something wrong!
