No Tynice Martin = No chance for the Mountaineers.

 

[Ozimoto]

Unfortunately I have to agree.

Should be a blowout win for Baylor. West Virginia isn’t very good despite their strong start to the year.

 

[WestCoastPup]

Seriously, is this even a question after what they did to Texas... Currently, there are three match ups I'd like to see in WCBB: UConn vs 1) Miss St, 2) Baylor, 3) Tenn (just so we can see then vs an absolute measuring stick).

On your 3rd matchup, TN is currently losing to unranked LSU in Baton Rouge by 4 after 3 quarters. The Tigers are outhustling the Lady Vols all over the court.

I picked WVU just so they would have one vote

How charitable of you

23-16 WVU end of first

Davenport 11 pts

 

[Phil]

I'm watching this game. While I don't think WVU will hold on, it has already made me feel better.

 

[EricLA]

44-38 - WVU still up with about 2 minutes to go in the first half.

 

[Ozimoto]

I am enjoying the game so far. Not sure WVU can continue to shoot as well in the second half, but so far so good. Up by 6 with under 2 minutes in the half.

 

[Blueballer]

When I watch WV-Baylor I am reminded of UCONN-ND. One team wins most of the time but the other team isn't intimidated and wins sometimes.

 

[Ozimoto]

Fouls may be a problem for the Mountaineers in the second half.

 

[Wbbfan1]

If you were going to choose Geno' replacement outside of his coaching tree, I wouldn't mind if Mike Carey was selected. He's 59 which I presume the AD at the time Geno retires will go with someone younger. His teams are well coached and play hard. He doesn't get elite recruits but they maximize their talents.

 

[Plebe]

Shocked that Baylor is giving up this many points to WVU. Davenport and Muldrow have been fantastic so far.

It's such a pleasure to listen to Brenda VanLengen as the color analyst. She's top tier.

On the other end of the spectrum, it's such a displeasure to see Tina Napier's officiating. She just called a phantom foul on Chania Ray because, much like the child in Sixth Sense, "she sees things."

I agree - 53% in first half and 7 threes which is both great...and unlikely to be sustainable.

 

[LoTrader]

First time seeing WVU play this year. Impressed. They are going to wreck someone's NCAA bracket this year.

 

[DefenseBB]

This may turn Baylor’s way in the 2nd half but it shows that we here on BY know not of which we speak on prognosticating!

It also goes to show how teams can’t stay focused after big games and then play well on the road. I think this brings the BU juggernaut theory back to reality. Yes, they are very good but not invincible.

I still like our chances against any and all comers...

I've been impressed by Davenport. The loss of Martin is still a killer, but they are playing well.

 

[DallasBUFan]

Currently shooting FG 51% and 3pt FG50% . That is keeping them in the game. WV playing one of their best games I have seen them play. Baylor learning how to play and when even when a team is shooting and playing very well.

 

[Shades]

Another big game for Wallace.

This win was very important for Baylor as a resume-builder.

Assuming that Baylor beats Oklahoma State on Wednesday, they will move up significantly in Thursday's 2nd reveal by the selection committee.

I just don't know. I think a 2 seed is as high as they will go. Could be wrong but based on the committee the last 2 years and their emphasis on non conference play I think that will be the celing. Again. I could be wrong.

I think it will come down between Baylor and Oregon for the last #1. UCONN, Miss State, ND will be the other #1s.
