[Vowelguy]

After falling behind 10-6, ND have gone a 26-6 run to lead 32-16 midway thru Q2.
FSU leads Miami 28-15

 

[DefenseBB]

Come on Louisville pull a "Patriots" and come back to win!

 

[ochoopsfan]

I was "Praying" somebody would post the score from the "Heavenly Conference"
At the half:
Saint Francis(PA) 39
St. Francis(Brooklyn) 31

Shouldn't that be the "Papal Conference"?

Texas leads at Baylor 25-16, early in Q2

 

[bags27]

still early, but I like TX's activity under the hoop: much quicker.

I looked in at the ND game and they look a lot better than they were in their unforeseen losses.
Ball moving, shots falling, bench contributing.

At Waco, on FS1 Texas now doing everything, up by 10...Karen seems to have picked up transition offense from...I wonder whom?

 

[EricLA]

It will be curious to see how the Baylor-UT game progresses. Texas up big 38-23 with about 6 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. Baylor obviously struggling big time. How about Holmes and Higgs with 18 points combined so far??!!

 

[Vowelguy]

Tex is en fuego. Not gonna continue hitting everything.

Also playing run run run run on every miss, and it's working. Look for that again if UConn faces the Bears.

 

[Vowelguy]

Joyner Holmes - big enough to get rebounds and then push the ball up the floor in transition. Wow.

 

[Plebe]

Kristy Wallace has had two jaw-dropping hustle plays, reminiscent of Jen Rizotti.

 

[StephStorrs]

I'm not saying I want Baylor to lose, but it wouldn't break my heart if they did. Heard the announcers say that Bayor hasn't lead at all this game - I gotta admit, that's impressive to me.

​

Do they take the court to puffs of white smoke?

Texas looks like a completely different team than when they lost those 4 games early. If they'd played like this against K-State they would've won by 50 instead of 5.

 

[LETTERL]

I'm switching back and forth between Miami/FSU and Tex/Bay. First time I've seen Texas play this season. I was expecting a tight affair the whole way...but so far, it's been all Texas. I was expecting a lot more stomping and whining from KMR; would love to be a fly on the wall in that lockerroom as she goes off on her team.

 

[MilfordHusky]

ND looked like the team I expected to see this season. ND had only 3 turnovers!

Louisville may have missed Hines-Allen. They looked terrible in the second quarter, when the game was decided.

 

[Vowelguy]

Very impressive first half by Texas. Let's see if they can keep it up or Mulkey can adjust.

I'll say it; it doubly helps my team if Texas wins.

 

[bags27]

My first extended look at Cox now that she's worked her way into the starting lineup. She's mighty impressive in body control and decision making for a freshman. But by 1/2 step she's the lowest player on the court. Not bad speed at all, but just a touch slower and it's going to cost her.

ND closed Q1 on a 13-4 run, so they were already on their way.

Her behavior has been uncharacteristically subdued. At one point early in the 1st quarter she subbed out all 5 starters at once, clearly not happy with their initial effort.

Another major problem for Baylor is that Mulkey isn't the best-dressed coach in the arena. That award goes to Tina Thompson!

Last year's ACC player of the year? They missed her badly. They also missed Briahanna Jackson, who exited the game with reported back spasms. Jackson is a very important facilitator and glue player for UL.

 

[Bigboote]

What's up with Nina Davis?? Two years ago I thought she was one of the best players in the nation. Last year, still right up there, but this year she just doesn't seem to be all in. Certainly this evening she hasn't been all there, but I don't know that I've seen a game this year in which she's been as good as she was in most games the previous two years.

I'm not nearly as worried about Baylor as I was a couple of weeks ago. Let's see what shakes out the rest of this game.

 

[TARZAN22]

Totally different Texas team, from the beginning of the Year.
If they keep working.
They could make some noise in the NCAA.

 

[Vowelguy]

Texas guards are very very good. Any March Madness afficianado will tell you that good guards are key to a tourney run, so watch out for the Longhorns.
