Count up and compare the Out of Conference games against teams with RPI 300+ and get back to us.

By way of illustration, last year Baylor started the season with the following 6 teams in their first 7 games. Langston, Lubbock Christian, New Hampshire, Grambling State, Houston Baptist, and Lamar. All at home. The game scores - 149-32, 98-63, 97-29, 120-46, 112-42, and 90-28. So explain to me one more time how Kim looks to build a strong schedule.

I just saw the score go by on the ticker. 98-20, with 4:20 left. Ouch. 20 points in 36 minutes of game time?

The way Baylor continues to run the fast break and chuck up a shot 5 seconds into the shot clock up 80+ is reprehensible IMO...

Here's the results for todays game. What I find unbelievable, the scoring by quarters. At the end of 3rd quarter score was 77-18...usually at this point in the game the foot comes off the pedal...but NOHHHHHH Kim must have felt uneasy about a 59 point lead! Baylor decided to throttle it up a few notches to stage a 40 point 4th. Even this would not be bad except the first three quarters Baylor scored in the mid 20's in each.

What do expect her to do, have the cheerleaders sub in? A championship coach doesn’t ask her bench to not play hard whenever they’re on the court.

Expect her not to schedule the game to begin with.

Kudos to Whitney Johnson for McNeese. In 40 minutes, she scored 3 points and grabbed 4 rebounds.

I want to agree with you but as you stated a "championship coach" should not schedule these teams to begin with, I'm with @JonathanXIV above. Kim has always loaded up on cupcakes team for her OOC schedule. As of this morning her OOC SOS is a lofty 221 with a 5-0 record against Quadrants 3[101-200] and 4[201-351].

Here's the other observation I take away. Baylor took 77 total shots, I'm not a "championship coach" but to me seems like more than enough shots to bury this team (which they did), I'm not asking for her bench/starters not to play hard however they could have stretched the shot clock down a few more seconds per possession.

This is truly bad for basketball. Quadrant 1 teams should have limits on how many quandrant 3 and 4 teams they can schedule.

She totally could have ran offense, used shot clock, and practiced some stuff they were working on as to not run up score.

We say tongue and cheek that UConn is bad for basketball but this stuff with Baylor and the cupcakes is disgusting even with Covid since we know she does it in non covid years too.

This is why folks question whether Kim has any class ...
