Shocking result in Baylor game

[BigBird]

Some ody isn't watching LIVE... 72 - 63 @ :42

 

[BigBird]

Wallace 3 makes it 72-66.... 28.2 left... WV can't hit FT's....trying to choke...

 

[Plebe]

There is just no quit in Wallace. She hurt her team with the technical, but wow her effort is never in doubt.

 

[housekeys]

I don't think he coached them to milk the clock. I just think they weren't figuring out how to attack the zone.

No. You can tell, because after they beat Baylor off the dribble or beating the press, they pull the ball back when there still lot's of time on the shot clock. Also they turn down open shots, a lot of fakes etc.

 

[BigBird]

73-66... another BU foul... Or should I say BU is foul again...whatever...

 

[BigBird]

75-66...

Too big a hill to climb for Baylor. Getting behind 21 is just too much. 10 they could have managed easy.

 

[BigBird]

Well, well, well. Down goes Baylor. It wasn't generally as closely contested as the last three minutes were. Sometimes, big bad Baylor looks like a rather average-to-good team. Worldbeaters? Not so much.

77-66 final, WV beats Baylor

Crazy how inconsistent the top teams seem this year. Baylor, Texas, ND, and South Carolina have all had stretches where they look like different teams.

Why do they always seem to fall behind by a lot to a team they should beat and than attempt a furious come back? They don't seem ready to go in some key games.

 

[housekeys]

With the BU loss, another example of how difficult it is to keep winning, even when you are regarded the better team.

 

[connie]

Team stats almost all categories for the game are pretty even. But WV a lot more threes

Agree totally. I guess it is hard to maintain focus - or something.

Agree. She is a warrior. Did not like the "T". Refs must understand the emotion and the moment. Could have given her a warning and talking to.

That was too much emotion to Not give a T, sorry. She has to have more control there.

 

[Blueballer]

Their SOS sucks, so it wouldn't shock me.

Their SOS doesn't "suck". Maryland's sucks.

They were without Alexis Jones, their top scorer.

I think it's safe to say SC and ND are hitting their stride at the right time. Baylor lost but I still expect them to make a run once they get Alexis Jones back. SC has transfers and freshmen playing big roles, No idea why ND struggled early they have a loaded team, Baylor didn't start off struggling but late they started dropping games. But overall I think all the teams had solid seasons this year.

They were without Alexis Jones, their top scorer.

Boo hoo.

 

[Plebe]

Wow, Baylor lost the game but still got 3 of its players in the 5-member all-tournament team. That's weird.

 

[huskeynut]

I think Baylor could drop to a 2 seed. WV was an unranked team coming into the B12 tournament.

It's not like they don't have some talented players. They surely do.

 

[Plebe]

So Tynice Martin had 21, 29, and 32 points in victories over #3 seed Oklahoma, #2 Texas, and #1 Baylor.

I heard them say that is a record for points scored in the Big-12 tournament.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Baylor will still be a 1 seed; the only question is whether they might be dropped below SC to overall #4.

I doubt it. Baylor has the better record and better team.

 

[Plebe]

I think Baylor could drop to a 2 seed. WV was an unranked team coming into the B12 tournament.

Not gonna happen. Baylor's resume is still better than any of the #2 seeds. WV clearly elevated its play. The fact that they were "unranked" has no bearing on the committee's decision.
