It’s hard to say the SEC teams are going to be familiar with LSU’s in Kim’s first year.
SC played Baylor several times over the past 4 years so they might be familiar wuith some of the stuff they do. Great win tonight.
Yeah but Iowa State has faced Kim every year she’s been at Baylor.
Wait, what? Absolutely players skills can evolve or erode depending on the coach. Pointer now has two running mates in Morris and Cherry that augment an offense along with Gusters and Newby. This is NOT Nikki's pathetic "defense and rebound" team of years past. The team does still lack athleticism and top skill that Baylor has long shown during Kim's years in Waco but to say "Ehh, beating ISU as they were down a bench piece" is a trifle disrespectful. ISU is good and this was a very good win in a rebuilding year. I think many of us are optimistic Kim will finish 8-8 in SEC play with some good wins and a bad loss or two. That said the enthusiasm, fan growth and success in Baton Rouge will only continue. Too bad Nikki Fargas was the commentator for the 7 PM game instead of this game as I would have loved to hear how she "spun" the narrative....

The big picture is. LSU would not win this game. Especially in a fashion of where we hit enough 3s. Or better yet. Touch 60. If it was a Nikki coached team.
I get where you are coming from but there is a bigger picture. LSU won 9 games last year, had a losing season and got absolutely embarrassed in their OOC slate verses better teams. It’s a dramatic contrast already. Beating Iowa St and Missouri St is big for this group.
But SC might be more equipped to deal with Mulkey's "tendencies". SC beat Baylor the last 2 times they played and I would assume the talent on the Baylor team was better than what she has now. The game still has to be played though so we will see.
The last 2 times? How do you figure?

IIRC the last time SC and Baylor played was the Paradise Jam in Nov. 2019, which Baylor won (and in which Lauren Cox did not play), and the previous two meetings before that were in the 2018-19 season, both of which ended in 25-point victories for Baylor.

No. 4 Baylor women beat No. 18 South Carolina 94-69
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Baylor coach Kim Mulkey knows her team can pound the ball inside. Once the No. 4 Lady Bears started hitting 3-pointers Sunday night, she knew No. 18 South Carolina wasn't going to be much trouble. Baylor (7-0) made seven of its first 10 shots to jump out to a 16-3 lead. The...apnews.com
Is there a another meeting since Nov. 2019 that I'm not remembering?
Hall has such a pretty shot. She needs more minute.
