Prognosticators Game 13 (Baylor) Predictions

People are seeming to forget the factor Tea Cooper can be in this game . I fondly remember her being the only SC player not being afraid to take it to the huskies last season . This will be a dandy of a game !!

People forget that t’ea Cooper or Juicy Landrum can go off any time. It’s just they don’t have to because of our posts! People think that Juicy Landrum just shoots 3’s but she can drive with the best of them and t’ea can too! I think the x-factor for Baylor will be juicy and t’ea going off for Baylor

Thursday can’t get here fast enough. A lot of people’s eyes will be WIDE OPEN after this one . Baylor should jump from 7 to 1 if they win .

For sure! I just hate the fact that Oregon lost but dropped 2 spots but Baylor loses and drop 5 spots even though we lost without our best player but Oregon had all their players so what’s their excuse? but it’s all good, rankings don’t matter anyway until the post season

I was being sarcastic but it would be great too see lol . Last year Geno chose to play off Chloe Jackson and let her shoot in order to pack it in down low. I wonder if that same game plan will be applied to Tea Cooper? She’s a better offensive player so it should be interesting.

Well maybe but after the game that she had at Oklahoma I’m sure UConn will be guarding her

No, I have seen Baylor and Oregon. If Baylor wins, Oregon is back on top. I don’t know if UConn is better than Baylor but I do know Oregon is. What I want is an UConn win, setting up forthcoming game with Oregon as a preview of FF

Lol Baylor has been one of the best defensive teams the last couple of years! Regardless of competition Baylor is still a damn good defensive team especially with DiDi Richards and Lauren cox. Juicy Landrum is also a good defender as well

What’s so funny. It’s a legitimate point to note that Baylor, year after year, schedules an embarrassingly weak OCC, even as the Big12 gets weaker. No excuse to schedule teams ranked 300+ only at home. Every. Damn. Year. Until Baylor starts to act like a top program it’s tough to give them credit for their “accomplishments.”
 
Baylor is a really bad matchup for Uconn. With Cox healthy, this year's team was thought by many to be superior to last year's national championship team. Uconn will have a hard time finding easy baskets. Baylor has the defenders to negate Uconns offensive strengths. Di Di defending Walker would be the most obvious, but not the only, example of such.

The one advantage that Uconn has is that Cox has not been back in the line up for very long and the players still have to adjust their own games to her presence in the offense. Smith especially. And I seems plausible that Cox, herself, would still be shaking off some rust. It's not impossible for Uconn to pull out a win, but considering the matchup, it would be upset if the did.

Interesting that a 7th ranked team beating the #1 would be considered such. It sort of speaks to the strangeness of this season.

I'm a UConn fan so I can't go against my. team. I believe this will be a hard fought game. I expect Kim to do her antics on the slidelines and complain about the refs. Geno will have his share on complaints and make his presence known.

Not convinced Cox is 100% nor is Baylor's offense in that flow. Landrum or Cooper could go off for big numbers but I don't see it. Too much defense for them. Don't see Kim using more than maybe 7 players. I see this game as more important to Baylor than UConn.

UConn - guard play will be key. Christyn and Crystal have to control the tempo. No turnovers. Megan can and should be a headache for Baylor. Liv needs to play her game and stay out of foul trouble. The wildcard is Kyla. If Baylor doesn't take Kyla seriously, and that is a distinct possibility, she could do some serious damage. Off the bench. Anna and Aubrey could be problems. In fact, Aubrey could an outright nightmare for Baylor!

So, UConn 73 Baylor 70.
 
I said UConn would lose 4 games this season (Baylor, Oregon, Someone they shouldn't and in the tournament). I haven't seen anything to change my mind, yet.

Baylor 71-67

Baylor 77 UConn 66.

If Olivia's play gets back to what it was before the break, UConn has a great chance to win this game. If she pays like she has over the last two game, then UConn won't win. Olivia's match up against Lauren Cox is key for UConn to win, Olivia has to play even with Lauren or outplay her for UConn to win.

All true but the key will be Megan. She needs in the mid 20s with 7-10 boards. She has not been the same since the break but this will be her game. She will establish herself as a first team All American Thursday night. We win.

I have no idea how this one will turn out. There are so many ifs. But I'll go with:

Huskies 84 Bears 77
 
I can’t wait until Thursday!
UCONN 84
BAYLOR 76

I wonder what Kim will wear? Ha, she needs
a new stylist.......Any takers? LOL

How are you so for sure Oregon is when the last time Baylor played oregon Baylor won ?

I am not going to predict the outcome but I am fairly sure that this game score is going to be in the sixties or very low seventies. I don't think either team has enough offensive resources to score 80 against the other's defense.

Basically because last season when they played it was close right up to the last. Oregon was playing with a skeleton roster due to injuries. They ran out of gas at the end of the tournament. Oregon basically has almost its entire roster back and Baylor does not. When you use last year's score as an evaluation point you also have to put it into context.

it was close? So losing by a little means you are better even without proving you can beat a team yet? Idc who they have returning you have to play to win .
