In the old days, the clue would have read: Women's hoops powerhouse.

They're going to ultimately out-talent MSU. And by talent Baylor should be like a 3/4 seed. They're talented enough to beat Duke, and they'll be the best, most talented team Duke has seen since November. But the offense doesn't work well enough for them to pull off the upset, and they're just sloppy enough that Duke can run away with it pretty quickly.

Baylor has sucked Mississippi State into its vortex of crazy. There was no reason for the MSU guard to catch and shoot a 3 while in the air with a Baylor defender leaping at him on that pinball possession. Just catch, gather, let the Baylor player fly past, and launch an open 3.

Baylor has turned this game into chaos.

100. And I ******* love the insanity of this game. It's just nonsense. Athletes flying all over the place with very little sense of purpose beyond the next 5 seconds.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Baylor just got a 10 second call by slow walking the ball up the court and not watching the defender who poked the ball loose and expired the count. It is one of the stupidest turnovers you can get.

Baylor trying to trick this one away, I gotta keep my SEC bashing post in the drafts for now

 

[HuskyHawk]

Neither of these teams is particularly good. Hoping Baylor holds on. Only 3 fouls all half on Miss State? Really?

Bama is now barely up on Robert Morris. Four point game.

 

[storrsroars]

RobbyMo keeping it interesting vs Bama. Only down 2 with 8 to go.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

That Baylor foul on the MSU 3 attempt is one of the stupidest fouls you will see today.

I'm not sure how I feel about that call

 

[aceboon]

I can't believe they didn't count that for Edgecomb

 

[Tommyboy]

Wow. Baylor screwed out of an And 1.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Made up for it. I hate that revision crap but it's necessary for justice

 

[storrsroars]

RMU has a Dickerson who can play defense.

RobbyMo takes the lead!

 

[Marat]

Dickerson for Robert Morris is an exciting player..

 

[HuskyHawk]

I'm not sure how I feel about that call

I didn't see the replay. There needs to be a time differential after release where it's no longer a foul.

For example on the technical foul call where Kelsey got a T yesterday on what he thought was an obvious foul, the contact (fingertip brush at most) happened when the ball was 3/4 of the way to the rim. That's not a foul.

Let’s go Robert Morris!

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I'm not sure how I feel about that call

Where was the guy that ran into the shooter going? He wasn’t closing out (that was another player), and there was no MSU player in the corner. He just ran into the legs of a shooter that wasn’t his man, after making a hero ball attempt at a steal 3 seconds earlier.

 

[tzznandrew]

Flagg makes anything possible. But factor in his injury and the truly terrible teams they've been beating up on for three months and it's hard to know.

Maybe it's finally Houston's year.

I like Sampson (he got screwed by the IU situation) and don't have any ill will towards Houston. I can live with that.

There's one team I'd like to win more, but, you know, if someone else has to do it...

Portal him to Storrs

 

[Jaydumo20]

I'm feeling differently about Florida. This conference is not the juggernaut that this conference paid to be able to say about this conference.

 

[storrsroars]

This Dickerson kid is doing an incredible Mutumbo impersonation. He swats balls into the fifth row.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I simply said it's something to keep an eye on.



But we weren't a part of a conference that's being considered the best in cbb history, nor a conference that got 14 teams in.

Moreso was alluding to SEC performances as a whole.

The 2011 version of the BE absolutely was being mentioned as likely the best one conferences season ever.

Sadly, we (cutting down the nets) and Marquette were the only schools to not get picked off early in that tournament.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

If MSU loses, it will be because they let Baylor set the tone of the second half. They should have just played their game.

 

[AidanFan20]

that last 3 try by Miss St. was fugly.

 

[aceboon]

another one bites the dust
