Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3389494, member: 5798"] I'm not sure I endorse that first stat. Allow me to share an observation here. Of the 12 games they've played to date, 6 of those teams could be classified as "cupcakes". [URL='https://baylorbears.com/sports/womens-basketball/schedule/2019-20']Here's their schedule.[/URL] Baylor's OOC schedule includes basketball powerhouses like [B]#312[/B] [B]New Hampshire (4-10), #308 Grambling State (2-11), #264 Arkansas State[/B] [B](4-9)[/B] and[B] # 329 Houston Baptist (4-9), etc.[/B] Low to middle mid-major losers, that are nowhere near their equal in terms of talent, depth or experience. I used Massey as my source of reference for these numbers. So of course they are going to put up excessive and mostly unchallenged numbers against those teams. Kim is known for consistently playing weak OOC preseason schedules. It hasn't hurt her program so far. She continues to get #1 seeds in the tournament. She also schedules most of these games to be played in Waco. The first 10 games (not including the tournament games played in the Virgin Islands) were ALL played at home at the Farrell Center. Baylor's first road game was Saturday @ Oklahoma, 2 months into the season. So pardon me if I'm a bit skeptical of those factual numbers for the reasons stated. Their defense could be questioned for the same reason. No doubt if UConn played those programs, they too would have produced similar numbers. [/QUOTE]
