So why is Texas so much more aggressive?
Running terrific plays through the posts, who have fine moves and are unafraid?
And who is their 2nd year Asst coach, just figuring the coaching game out?
No other than Tina Thompson, one of the most competitive players in the history of the W.
She's the difference.
Brilliant hire by Aston.

It's nice to have a little insurance.

I have to say that the Texas-Baylor game was well played and far above the quality of game I've seen in the SEC this year. The best game outside of any UConn game I've seen all year. Kudos to the Texas backcourt and Joyner Holmes whose size and athleticism (like Collier) nullified Davis. Holmes' play against Davis was the difference. Texas' poor FT shooting kept the game closer than it should have been.

Great Win by Texas. Didn't see that coming. Baylor was coasting through first 3 Quarters and then came alive in the 4th quarter to make the comeback try. Texas made just enough shots and Free Throws to hold on for the Win. They did try to give Baylor the game. Joyner Holmes was impressive as a Freshmen tonight.

Nice Texas win, but they did not distinguish themselves at end of game. After getting big lead with relatively undisciplined offense, appeared to catch bad case of nerves. No one seemed to want to take shot, couldn't control ball, missed several 5 foot shots, couldn't run a set offense, etc. McCarthy and Holmes came out of nowhere in last minutes to make big layup and foul shots. Extremely bad call on Baylor on obvious Texas acting job helped. Kim's constant screaming likely didn't help Baylor at critical times. Give Texas credit but not sure this type of win is repeatable.

When the game gets close trust Mulkey to aid the opposition with her behavior. As a person Mulkey is top notch. As a coach see's not close to my big three of Geno, Tara, and Muffet.

This game featured a screen that sent a Stanford player flat out on the floor. Hardest non-fouling contact I've seen in a very long time.
Right now, 64-55 Bruins in the 4th @7:20

I think Mulkey made a mistake by embarrassing her starters on national TV by taking all 5 out at once early in the first quarter. Sorta seemed like an, "It's all about me" move that backfired.

Impressive effort by UCLA to bounce back from their loss at Cal. This win puts them ahead of Louisville and into the discussion for a #3 seed.
Jordin Canada and Monique Billings are serious All-American candidates.

Ouch. Stanford gets dumped on their home court, losing to #15 UCLA. It wasn't a fluke. Bruins trailed at half, but fought back and really dominated the second half. Jordin Canada is for (very) real, at least she was tonight. Final score: UCLA 85 - Stanford 76.

Good Win by UCLA over Stanford on Stanford's home court.
Stanford's loss tonight probably moves Maryland up to a 2 seed. While unlikely Maryland can get a #1 seed because of their SOS, its still possible depending on how Miss St and So Carolina play down the stretch. ND, FSU, Oregon St and Stanford if they split their games with each other, just may play themselves out of a chance for a #1 seed.

But you're forgetting that Texas's win over Baylor will likely move them ahead of Maryland.

Davis disappeared in last seasons NCAA Tournament and in the Uconn game this season. Cox had been playing well until tonight. She has problems with big quicker players. Some of Baylors players seem to have a hard time playing well in games against teams as talented and as tough as they are. Texas matched up well against them.
