Playing 37 minutes had nothing to do with chasing a record. UT cut the lead to 12 at one point in the second half. If the lead is under 20 BG stays in. Sims played 35 minutes.
Baylor also had multiple recruits in attendance, as well as 80+ former Baylor players. I would expect Kim to play the core group most of the game, especially BG, with so many special guests. It was a big day as the team also cut the nets and celebrated a Big 12 title.
Recruits in attendance:
2013: Small
2014: Turner, Bulgak(6-4 forward and former UNC verbal now at Trinity Valley CC), Schlonte Allen 6-0 PG also at TVCC) Keyanna Harris (6-0 guard, HG #46)
2015: McCowan (now reported as 6-8 by her HS coach)
2016: Mikaela Wilson, Lauren Cox (6-4 wing/post)
