Postgame: Too much[merged thread]

[luckyhusky7]

I really don't like to pile on one player, but it is not just one game. She hasn't shown the spark that she had at the start of the season for some time now, since just before she got sick. And I;'m starting to believe the BYers who say that a #1 pick actually can't shoot well. It makes no sense, but that's what my eyes are telling me. I really hope I'm wrong.

Ditto on this post. I must’ve replied to another post where they’re piling on Megan Walker when I should’ve replied to this thread. If only we had one thread about the negativity of losing to Baylor...lol

Hello MW.

Dont know about that.
One of Geno's huddles was directed at KLS and CW not taking/making shots.

I think if Azura came back, she would start along with Williams, Dangerfield, Collier and Samuelson. The front court would be Azura and Collier, KLS at SF, and the backcourt would be CD and Williams. But I think Walker would inherit Azura's role as the bench player with a large number of minutes (unlike this year's bench, where no one serves that role yet).

STOP DREAMING

Wow, can MW get any love? Reading the last couple pages here would suggest MW lost this game...question, are these the same fans, last year, they felt Geno was not playing MW more?

Too much size. Too much Cox (the difference maker imho.) Too much everything.
(And the size problem only gets worse next year.)

We were manhandled for much of the game but got some gritty play to stay in it.

Baylor is a bad matchup for this team. Hope to not have to face them again.

First non-OT loss since? 2013?

The Perfect Storm for Baylor.

Home court with a capacity crowd.

UCONN shooters had an off game (they're human).

Brown has a good game and wasn't intimidated.

Baylor's freshmen and support players had a good game.

That stuff happens.

UCONN plays them on a neutral court in the NCAAs...

my money's on Geno.

1 great atmosphere
2 started by 4 starters, CW has to be more involved only took 6 shoots, missing open shots, then getting hesitant
3 rebounded ok against a big team
4 not a good post entery pass team, every game you see someone posting up strong demanding the ball, ball handlers looking perimeter first
5 Tuoly was OK, 2 of 3 fouls were BS, given time to get 100% should help
6 will not say team will shoot that bad again but not likely
7 thrilled for Kim to see her grandson, very happy moment
8 I am not a coach with 11 NCs,
9 big lay off hurts, but hey this is the holidays these are kids with family and friends, good tough scheduling should make them better

Bad game, move on. I’m still optimistic with the best coach and still time to develop players. If they play poorly in late February and still show inconsistencies I will be worried. But for now let’s give the team a pass.

You didn’t watch the South Carolina game then. She shot us right of the gym that night. We never even had a chance.

She probably only had 4 or 5 threes, but it felt like 9 or 10. I knew she was going to hit big shots tonight vs. UConn... and she did.

I did watch the SC game and baylor obliterated them in every fashion. Everyone played well for baylor that night and the game was over by the emd of the 1st qtr. Everything afterwards were garbage points for Baylor.

Home court advantage was big in this game! Baylor had the stands full and the fans were into the game. Neutral court game would not be double digit but Baylor probably wins, they are just a matchup problem for UCONN. Best thing that can happen for UCONN come tournament time is for MSST or ND to knock Baylor out of the tournament early. I did not include Stanford because I really believe Baylor wins that game handily if they play again at neutral court.

Stanford has size that can compete with Baylor and they also stretch the court with good 3 point shooters that will not allow Baylor bigs to camp out in the paint. While not extremely big, they have players at 6’3” and 6’4” that play with physicality. You are selling them short. They are a bad match up for Baylor, because Tara exposes their weaknesses

I think a big part of the Stanford-Baylor game is that the 'Furd ran them off he court. Brown and Cox were ineffective and probably needed oxygen when they were on the bench. UConn didn't do that.

Looks like the "Boneyard is spinning out of control" ..
Remember this is/was a rebuilding year, I figured 4-7 loss's .... and a run at the final 4.... Because of bad breaks in recruiting and promises not kept, the team for the most part is in a "On The Job Training Status". and will stay that way for a year or two....until they catch hold of the UConn MoJo ...

Last night the game was ours for the taking, if everybody played to their average, we'd have a different tune this day..but finals, holidays, a terrible travel schedule and nasty rust ..said NO WIN..

So have patience all is well and another Nation is in site...

Just ask my good buddy "Tony C"...

Do you care to elaborate On bad breaks or promises not kept? With only 5 with game experience and talent to back it up; the OJT has been minimal. I supposed we shall see a terrific improvement with the AAC games. I don't keep up with recruiting so my question is not facetious or intended to create an argument.

Hello MW.

I think Megan needs to channel Maya and "take over games". She will eventually but I think she has it in her and can do it now.

Go Megan!
