Baylor barely got by W.Virginia tonight.
Look forward to Texas and Baylor on Sunday.
First of all, let me say that WVU played one heck of a game last night. Carey had a great game plan and had his players working hard. They seemed to be a step ahead of Baylor to almost every loose ball. Baylor better play better in the game at WVU or they will come away with a loss.
My money is on UT in Sunday's game. Mulkey is still struggling to find a lineup that she likes and she substitutes at almost every opportunity. She doesn't even allow the team to gain any continuity or rhythm before she sends in a couple of subs.
In the game last night Kalani Brown was the leading scorer at the half and WVU didn't have an answer for her. Then she never saw the floor in the third quarter. I figured that Kalani would start the 3rd quarter based on her strong play in the first half. Kalani finished the game with 12 points in 12 minutes of play.
Mulkey is still trying to figure out what to do with Nina Davis this season. She keeps moving her from the 3 to the 4 and she is also completely out of rhythm and her numbers are reflecting it. She had 2 points against Kansas and 6 last night. Mulkey is trying to have two bigs on the floor at once and they are clogging up the lane for Davis to the point that she cannot maneuver and use her spin moves to her advantage.
I think Mulkey has more talent than she knows what to do with and until she figures it out Baylor is going to perform at a level that is well below the talent level. We should not be in the discussion of a 1 seed at this point.
Thank goodness for Alexis Jones and Niya Johnson! Jones has really turned things around since the OSU loss and is playing some great ball.
I predict Texas to win by 10+ points Sunday. I am not sure that all of those Baylor students will be happy that they took the scenic bus ride from Waco to Austin.
