Oh boy.... some reporters in Iowa are stirred up about the Baylor press conference

 

[Orangutan]

Spare me the sanctimony, Chad. But I forgot - women coaches aren't allowed to make sarcastic quips. That's just for Jeff and Geno and the rest of the boys.

Brown is an All-American. She should not be afraid to guard anyone. Which I think is quite obviously the point Mulkey is making. I thought it was kinda funny, really.

But whatever outrage Iowa needs to manufacture to put a chip on their shoulder, I guess.

 

[PacoBlaze]

I wouldn't be surprised if Cox guards Gustafson and Brown guards Stewart. I think Lauren is the most mobile of the 4 and should be able to match up with either Iowa biggie.
Buuuut I am hoping for an upset.

 

[Reypl21]

Brown is bigger, wider, and longer than Gustafson. I don't see how she succeeds enough for the Iowa upset. If she scored too much, Baylor will then put Cox on her

 

[PoppaBear]

Chad's just trying to generate outrage in defense of the poor ESPN reporter. Probably waiting for a reply from them about that resume he submitted. Ha

 

[Reypl21]

Stanford vs ND should be exciting. Stanford didn't impress me in their sweet 16 game, but they play inspired when they face ND.

 

[PoppaBear]

Brown handled Anigwe pretty easily. I see lots of similarity to Gustafson in style of play

 

[MSUFan2003]

I'm more interested in the Stanford v. Notre Dame game. Stanford did find a way to beat Oregon and Baylor.

I'm more interested in the Stanford v. Notre Dame game. Stanford did find a way to beat Oregon and Baylor.

I somehow feel like it's both more likely that Stanford beats Notre Dame than Iowa beats Baylor (both chances are admittedly slim), but also more likely that Notre Dame blows Stanford out than Baylor blows Iowa out. The question is whether the Stanford that beat Baylor and Oregon shows up or the Stanford that lost by 40 to Oregon and shot 17-68 against an 11 seed. The variability in possible outcomes makes the Irish-Cardinal matchup seem much more interesting.

 

[Crazyhorse]

Baylor and ND win handily.

 

[nwhoopfan]

As far as Gustafson matching up w/ Baylor's bigs, Gulich from Oregon St. outplayed both of them in the Tourney last year. It can be done. Alanna Smith from Stanford easily outplayed both of them earlier this season.

Oh boy.... some reporters in Iowa are stirred up about the Baylor press conference

If Chad were a smart guy, he'd look up the whole interview before making a stupid remark. The media has cut out Mulkey praising Gustafson. Media stirring the pot before the game! Typical....

 

[triaddukefan]

Wonder how many complaints there will be about the attendance here tonight

 

[triaddukefan]

Not sure how it will come across on TV.. Though the crowd will be small.. The Baylor and Iowa fans in attendance are a spirited bunch

 

[SECbbfan24]

The media

These days its all about making a story juicy and to stir the pot. There is no actual reporting...

 

[Plebe]

Really hard for me to imagine Iowa staying close. I don't think Baylor will completely shut down Gustafson, but I do think their size poses a challenge that Iowa hasn't faced yet and I don't see her going off. Iowa's only chance is if multiple players from among Doyle, Davis, Meyer and Sevillian are hitting 3's. The supporting cast absolutely must relieve the scoring pressure on Gustafson.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Kalani brown needs to go to the bench if she doesn't want to play

 

[Blueballer]

Baylor already spanked Iowa earlier this season. I don't see anything yet that makes me think this will be any different. Hope I'm wrong. Would like to see another exciting game.

Sounds pretty quiet.

 

[DeeHusky]

Baylor looking chokable lol

 

[wbball novice]

DiDi Richards keeps the Baylor engine running.

 

[UCBaller2012]

Tania Davis needs to slow down out there. Bad shots and turnovers.

 

[Vowelguy]

#22 (or 23) on Iowa is already holding her side on defense. seems winded

 

[Orangutan]

Iowa needed that media timeout to come much earlier.

Felt like they ran out of gas a little bit once it got to 11-11 and then had a few ugly offensive possessions in a row.
