I have to agree, that Baylor does seem to have "something" missing. The Uconn defense may well be the key. I just hope the officials do a good job. I hate to hear any team, or their fans, blame a loss on the refs.
haha what the heck are you talking about, that was my response to your comment guess you dont understand how some things are done (notice it was in red) and I added "additional" comments "outside of the box"
stop holding on to it buddy, you're not going to get in trouble for being "misrepresented" by Daddychoc... relax and enjoy you stay on the Boneyard and dont let me make it uncomfortable for you.
ETT, what DC did is around the Boneyard a fairly standard way of identifying a response within a post. Although it isn't Used very often in a short post in longer posts it allows point by point responses with clarity as to the point addressed and as to who is speaking because of the change in color and bolting. DC is far from the only one you will find here using that technique. Hope that helps.
Ice thank you very much for assisting me in this issue, hopefully he/she understands!
No problem I added a couple of edits to further clarify.
IN. RE. EAST TEXAS TRASH'S CONCERN ABOUT BEING MISQUOTED:
Details added with clear indication as to what is new...Yes that is what is done on this board by serious posters. There is no way that our Mods and Admin. would permit violations of footnoting rules - think of it as "E-attribution" procedures on the BY!
Huskies 77 - Lady Bears 65. UConn's 77 factors in and includes a 5 point deduction for Baylor's home court advantage. Wouldn't be surprised by a 20+ point win!
I anticipate Bria, CD and Silk (KML) will put on a 'shock & awe' shooting clinic. UConn will apply a defensive vice on Sims. Geno will be quick to substitute and go big, bringing in Heather and Kiah early. Heather gives up 5 inches, but has a wider, stronger frame than BG and will have success moving her base out of the paint. Kiah has a huge wingspan that BG may have some trouble defending without fouling. With one of them occupying BG's defensive attention, that would leave Stef guarded by one of Baylor's 4's and that's a mismatch we'll take all day. I expect Tiff to purposely take drives at BG looking to pick up a foul or two as she did last year with success. Tiff seems to relish physicality with a purpose.
Baylor will have trouble playing 40 unrelenting minutes and/or playing from behind against UConn.

VAUConnFan - The server wouldn't allow me to reply in the normal fashion, so I've cut and pasted your comments:
VAUConnFan said: "What success? Tiffany Hayes was 5-20 in last year's game, 1-7 the year before. And only one of Ms Griner's four fouls in last year's game came as a result of a Tiffany Hayes drive to the hoop."
My post spoke nothing of Tiff's point production. It simply addressed her and Geno's strategy to attack BG and draw fouls. So now you've forced me to do actual work - go to the archives and see whether I was crazy!
National Semi-Final...4/4/10 - At just 1:16 into the 1st half, Tiff takes it directly at BG on a driving lay-up and sends a message. Actually looked like she was more intent on going at BG and drawing the foul than actually making the lay-up. Misses the lay-up, but is fouled by BG and makes 1 of 2 FTs. BG remains foul-free until the 2nd half, picking up #2 against Maya at the 6:39 mark, and #3 against Tina at the 4:24 mark to end the game with 3 PFs.
11/16/10 - UConn takes it at BG again as a strategy. BG fouls Tiff at the 10:45 mark of the 1st half for her 1st PF. BG fouls Tiff at the 12:40 mark of the 2nd half for her 2nd PF. Maya drives on BG at 6:42 mark of 2nd half making lay-up + FT for BG's 3rd PF. Bria drives on BG at 2:24 mark of 2nd half making lay-up + FT for BG's 4th PF.
BG commits 7 PFs in her only 2 games against UConn and Tiff is responsible for 3 of them! That is why I think it's a strategy that Tiff embraces and has been successful with!
