Message: [QUOTE="skilz, post: 2597112, member: 7222"] Defense - What I hear, scheduling was quite hectic this year which turned into more "home" games than normal (several scheduled games fell through for one reason or another). However, Kim has always had a few cupcakes scheduled each year, and I'm not sure that changes next year with 5 new Freshman coming in. We do know UConn goes to Baylor next year, and we also know that Baylor will go to Stanford. I also expect Baylor to have a tougher game (away) for the Big 12/SEC Challenge (this could possibly be SC or Tenn from what I hear). All in all, I definitely expect a tougher schedule for Baylor next year, but not a dominant one. As a note: Baylor was to play in a tournament in New Orleans this year with teams that included Missouri (can't remember the others but they were much better than McNeese and Nichols). This tournament fell through for Baylor, however I believe it had more to do with a last minute schedule for Big 12/SEC challenge. McNeese, Stanford, and Nichols were scheduled to take the place of the tourney, which was last minute. Nichols was scheduled to get Kalani Brown and Moon Ursin back home (Kim schedules games for all the girls in their home towns). I'm actually interested in hearing why you think Oregon would jump to a #1. With loses to Stanford (whom Baylor beat) and Oregon State, not sure how Oregon could get the ranking of a #1. I would think that Louisville and ND (no matter the outcome of the tourney) stays ahead of Oregon. Oregon is a good #2. [/QUOTE]
