Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3895598, member: 730"] Baylor could win the title, but I doubt it. I only watched Baylor a few times in the tournament but I was able to see that Baylor's offense comes from offensive rebounds and pts in the paint or off turnovers. They have no outside shooting game and once the real play starts in the S16 and they face decent defenses they will be forced into a half court game. I read a lot of comments about their size but look at it. It's been Egbo and Smith. At 6'2 Smith is an undersized post. I'd draft her ahead of Collier but she's a 4 and Egbo is only a so-so center and inconsistent. She gets into foul trouble too easily. Now they are a great rebounding team but not because they are big. Gusters didn't even play much in the last 2 games of the B12 tournament. That doesn't bode well for her helping much in the S16 on. They have a huge hole in their offense without good outside shooters. In the Texas game they made a couple of baskets outside the paint. That simply isn't going to work against teams like Stan, SCar, NCSt or even UConn, all of whom can pack the paint. They'll dare Richards to beat them with her outside shooting. But then maybe they'll win it all. It's likely to be an upset-filled tournament. [/QUOTE]
