Baylor can beat you in so many ways now: From deep: Cooper/Landrum both shooting over 40% from deep Playmaking: Cooper is great off the dribble. Smith is tough 1 on 1 from 16 feet and in since she's so quick and finishes through contact. Inside: Cox and Smith are good finishers around the basket. Egbo too is improved although we haven't seen it in big games. All 3 have midrange capability too. Passing: Cox and Richards are stellar passers. The team overall is incredibly unselfish, averaging 23 per game. Depth: Egbo/Ursin/Bickle/Oliver have been great subs off the bench for Baylor and bring different elements to the table depending on the opponent. Defense: Richards is the best perimeter defender in the country, Cox the best interior defender. They can absolutely be beat and I think it's a toss up vs. Oregon should they meet, but they're playing at a higher level than I anticipated coming into the season. [/QUOTE]
