I think it was a product of not having Wallace on the court and Chou is not really fully back from her injury. The freshman PG was just not ready for 40 minutes of prime time.

I strongly agree. Losing Wallace was a major blow to Baylor. It really strained the depth and stamina of the backcourt.
 
Wow, just wow! OSU really knows how to close the deal, like in their conference championship game. Baylor certainly had a bad shooting night, and maybe the loss of Wallace's experience had an effect as well. Couldn't see to what extent Mulkey had to call the plays. Riveting game. If only UConn hadn't ruined women's basketball.

This is the first time I have watched Baylor for the full 40 minutes. As i was looking at their roster they only lose Cohen and Wallace to graduation. How in the heck is Mulkey going to keep all those players (particularly the post players) happy next season? 5 more freshman coming next season.
 
Downright amazing this postseason for Oregon State. They topple a massive home win streak of the Lady Vols', and then follow it up with an upset over a team many thought was a 1 seed. They were supposed to be in rebuild mode, and they've exceeded their Sweet 16 finish of last year.

Rueck is a top 5 coach in the country and Mulkey will be having Oregon State nightmares.

Uh, conference championship game? OSU lost in the P12 quarterfinals to Arizona State.

He loves coaching at OSU, and he's proved he can win there. It would take A LOT to pull him away.

Sometime A LOT doesn't really seem like A LOT until it's actually staring you in the face. Then it can seem like A LOT.

Ok, that's what I was hoping. But many here on the BY felt that they should have been, including me.

Corvallis is a different kind of place. Pat Casey has built one of the top baseball programs in the country there. He's had opportunities to leave for more money. He's stayed. It's not always all about the money.

me, too: with their only loss missing Cox and Mulkey, I would have ranked them #3 overall. But I think we need to learn for the future: Baylor is unproven until they're proven, meaning getting into the FF. Before then, they play an isolated couple of tough games: they're not used to the pressure....and maybe that's true of their coach as well.

Plus no real PG all season.

No argument on Rueck, I love him. But finally someone has to give some Kudos to Eric Ely. Who is that? He is the assistant coach that works with the bigs at OSU. 2 names from Freshman to Seniors, Ruth Hamblin and Marie Gulich. Major improvement from year 1 to year 4 for both. Love to see what he does next year with the 6'9" Aquino, a young lady from Paraguay who played HS in So Cal this year.

That's probably the thing I find most surprising and impressive. Didn't think they'd be able to shore up their major ball security issues that were exposed in the January trip to the LA schools. They had problems in 1Q vs. Tennessee but handled the pressure pretty well after that. Today they were able to keep their TOs to 19 against Baylor.
