BIG 12 25-26

[geewago]

The Sun Devils may fall from the unbeaten ranks Sunday. 5:00 p.m. tip against the Buffs and this will be a real challenge for Molly Miller.

Both McKinna Brackens and Maykala Moore missed last game, the road win over Gonzaga due to injury. If those two aren't available Buffs should cruise.

And in the event Molly Miller schemes the Devils to 14 and 0, on the 31st there will be a real tough game on the road against Utah.

I wasn't aware that both Brackens & Moore missed the Gonzaga game. That makes that win even more impressive. Geezus I would hope they would be available for the CU game. Injuries suck.

15TH ranked Baylor hosts undefeated 13-0 Texas tech (espn+ 4:00 EST)

Delaney Gibb was back for part of the game today as BYU beat hapless UCF in Florida by 21 pts. Hadn't realized she's been out since November 15. I haven't been following the Big 12 teams stroll through the cupcake aisle at the non-conference bakery in much detail.

I was just wondering about her. Glad she's back.

Was dealing with a stress fracture I believe. Hopefully it's not a lingering issue.

Great slate of games today.

Before I head over to Desert Financial Arena for the five p.m. tip against the Buffs I'll be able to watch two of the better teams in the league.

Okie State is a huge favorite traveling to Cincinnati. At noon tip on ESPN Plus will stay on my screen for probably the first quarter.

After watching Loree Payne and Santa Clara I'll switch back for the Marquee game at 2:00 p.m. on ESPN Plus Texas Tech and Baylor. the bears are heavy favorites in this game but I'm actually expecting it to be closer than the experts.

Dee Alexander is listed as probable for this game against Oklahoma State. Her first game this season I believe.

Kansas is hanging tough with Iowa St.

edit--2 point game under 30 seconds; Crooks has 41, Nichols has 27

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wow, Kansas tied it up w/ 5 seconds left but Kenzie Hare hit a 3 w/ 1 tick left to win it for Iowa St.

Wow. Hare hits a 3 in The final ticks. Had been 0 of 1 playing 34 minutes before that shot.

CRooks had 41 of Iowa state’s 79 points

Pregame before tip of Baylor and Texas Tech the announcers are analyzing Texas Tech's victories and say that their win over SMU was notable?

Really?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Timmer goes off for 35 as Okie St. rolls Cincy.

 

[nwhoopfan]

TT battling Baylor, could go down to the wire. You can say whatever you want about how good is Baylor actually this season, but Tech going toe to toe w/ them in Waco seems like a big step up for the Red Raider program.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tech goes up 1 on a pair of FTs w/ 3 seconds left. Baylor time out, will advance the ball I'm assuming.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tech wins!

14-0!!!!!!

79-63

Before the biggest crowd of the season Molly Miller unleashes the dog's war. McKinna Brackens is still dealing with illness or injury so on a minute restriction.

No worries - both Deb Davenport and freshman Amaya Williams step up.

A GREAT way to open conference play with a W at home over the Buffs

Congrats on that great win. I've been following Molly Miller for about 7 years. When Kim Mulkey left Baylor here in Waco where I live there were hundreds of people begging the AD (Mack Rhodes) to look at her record and try to get her here. Like everything else , he ignored all advice and hired a WNBA coach with a horrible losing record. I wish I was close to Phoenix, I'd go with you to every game.

Alright, you're getting me bought in on the Molly Miller Miracle - and the results are supporting the hype. What a turnaround from last season's flaming dumpster fire.

I am so grateful going to the stadium leaving the stadium watching the games and thinking about my beloved Sun Devils.

After the game yesterday Molly Miller once again thank the fans for all the support. She really gets it she gets the whole thing coaching dealing with fans building culture.

Jeff Munn the radio voice of the Devils indicated that the crowd played a difference in bringing energy to the team.

Ikr. Hi my fingers crossed that the ad here will renegotiate and re sign Miller to a long-term extension to avoid a Kenny Dillingham situation.

Final opener in Big 12 Play takes place down in the dirty t. The kitties are going to do their best against Utah at Mckale.

I'll be watching the game as the Devil's next opponent is the Utes.

Noon tip on ESPN Plus with the kitties as decided underdogs

I am not crowing about surviving at home over a Kansas squad missing two of their top players. Audi Crooks had a million points and we win on a buzzer beater. 5 seconds left when Cyclones inbounded and Jayhawks had a foul to give and thought they would use it to take clock down to 3 seconds or so. Still, tricky to do when players will than throw the ball up from 35 feet and try to get a shooting foul when they weren't intending to shoot at all.

Now boring ten days with no games.

Maybe the largest crowd since Charlize Turner Thorne retired. It was a great win over the Buffs

That looks like so many of the crowds we used to have in Waco before Mulkey left. Heres 2 pics of the conference opener against TT. And the previous game against Southern

I was going to post how much the attendance has already improved this year. Kudos to Molly and the fan base for jumping on the band wagon. We all know the current OOC schedule had a lot to be desired but considering what she started with, this is still a great job, great hire and I only hope they can keep her.

I did an analysis on all the ages of the top coaches and I think Molly was one of 2 coaches under 40 in the P4 and one of 4 coaches under 40 who have already been to an NCAAT.

Very happy for you and I will be in Phoenix in April....😘-you know for the Final Four with my Huskies.
