You know I picked this team as the team to beat BEFORE the season started, and I've continued to praise this Baylor team. But let's get some things out of the way. This team would have lost by easy double digits to last year's UCONN team. Baylor entered the first UConn game with the FAR more experienced team with the only returning AA's on the green side. It was Baylor's third game of the year, UConn's second. As much as some have noted Brown's first half foul trouble, ALL of UConn's forwards were in foul trouble the first half. As much as some have noted Crystal Dangerfield's performance has not been repeated and Davis played poorly, few on other sites have noted, excepting for Collier, how poorly UConn's forwards shot during the game. Yet who's to say Crystal Dangerfield, a freshman, won't become more offensively consistent by Boogie Time? None on other sites noted how very poorly Nurse performed, on offense and defense. None as well have noted how poorly UConn ran their offense and how experience has taught this young team to run their offense far better now. As I've watched this team since the loss to UConn I've seen them improve, but not as much as has UConn. So as I've said before, with all things being equal, if they were to meet again, things would be equal.
