Baylor vs UCLA

[eebmg]

One more thing:

I was really puzzled by the timeout Baylor called with about 7:00 left in 4Q. They had just closed the lead from 11 to 4 points and had all the momentum. UCLA was looking out of sorts and Baylor had just gotten a stop and a defensive rebound. It ended up just killing all their momentum and they were then outscored 20-10 the rest of the way.

Yes. Listened to the second half on the radio. Idiotic.

The radio broadcast was amazing. The mikes seemed to be right on the court. You could hear everything Close was screaming from the bench. l also heard that Natalie Chou had a bad first half. Sat most of second half except for one brief period. Got into the game, had a turnover and was yanked. Ouch.

Gonna be a though trip for Baylor. Mulkey not traveling as she lost her grandson and Cox hospitalized after a diabetic episode. Baylor down to 9 players.

As a Texas resident, get Baylor ladies games. Predict by end of year, they will be top 3 team with Texas. Cox is beginning to move well on both ends of court and guards becoming solid. Will be good challenge. Predict Texas will be exceptional and scary one game and less so the next. Huskies should beat both but games close.

Calling it now!!!

Baylor and UCLA will be in same bracket for NCAA!!

Committee likes to do ridiculous things like that. Ya know, play someone again after you already have in your season.

I feel the same about Ohio state and Louisville as well as SC and Maryland.

Chou looked really slow in that game. I believe she will have problems against quick guards.

That's just silly. One of the reasons top teams play each other in non-conference is so that if they meet up again in the tourney, they have some familiarity against each other.

Are you saying that the committee shouldn't put any of UConn's non-conference opponents like Stanford, Maryland, Cal, Texas Notre Dame, South Carolina, Louisville, DePaul, and Oklahoma in the same region with UConn? Come tourney time, go ahead and try to create a bracket that guarantees UConn has 0% chance of playing a team (prior to the Final Four) who they played in non-conference.

Cox is starting to play like the #1 player of her class. She is noticeably thinner and is indeed moving very well on both ends of the floor. You can tell that she is healthy and confident. I think Baylor would have won the UCLA game under different circumstances.

Chou is soon going to end up a role player. Great shooter from 3 but too slow. And getting playing next season will be even tougher.

Alexis Morris will soon be the starting PG; she is electric and will get conference recognition, possibly national. She is a complete player and fast as lighting. Our next Odyssey Sims, although faster.

Wallace be terrific at the 2, which is her natural position.

Landrum and Richard may be the first off the bench. Cox is most improved and Landrum is really stroking the three, at times from NBA range.

Cohen will provide a big body at the 3. She is not a great shooter but plays terrific D and really hits the boards. Great hustle player.

We shall see how BU looks against UK Thursday night and then Stanford.

I think Baylor will beat Kentucky and Stanford and the games will not be close. They could become a scary team.

Mulkey is going to need to put Chou on the bench and start Morris and play her as many minutes as she can. She is an excellent shooter and passer and has a great handle. This girl is excitement in a pair of sneakers.

Agreed. This is their best shot with Billings/Canada....take those two out of the equation and they're likely a midrange PAC team.

They had the #1 recruiting class 4 years ago. They need to take advantage now.

Didn't follow the game, but UCLA only beat Kansas State by 9 in Las Vegas over the weekend; not sure how close it really was. KSU had beaten North Texas on the road by 1 point a week or so ago.
