Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2980055, member: 2117"] Baylor deserved it--good game prep by Kim and the defense was fantastic for Baylor. Brown may have overtaken McCowan for #1 pick tonight. A loss like this was due for UCONN after struggling against much worse teams. Huskies need more from Walker/ONO going forward. The offense just looked awful, shots were missed but played rarely looked in rhythm. Theyll still be a strong title favorite. For Baylor, I think Nalyssa Smith should absolutely be starting. She looks so smooth and athletic out there. Something about her smoothness and touch inside reminds me of Candace Parker. Cox really struggled offensively but was stellar defensively. This game couldve been a 20 point margin if she hit 2-3 of those perimeter shots. Brown was a beast, Jackson was stellar too even though she shot poorly. Really good comeback game for Baylor after the ugly Stanford loss. Going forward I don't think this changes anything for UCONN, they still are the likely lock for a #1 seed in Albany. Baylor should be in line for a #1 if they win out the rest of the way. This season has been really unpredictable as to which team shows up each night. If you look at this circle of 1 loss teams, it sums it up the season perfectly so far: Uconn beats Notre Dame by 18 Notre Dame beats Gonzaga soundly Gonzaga beats Stanford somewhat soundly Stanford beats Baylor convincingly Baylor beats UCONN by double digits [/QUOTE]
