Shocking result in Baylor game

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
 
Plebe said:
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.

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.

Disagree. She fell towards the ball and for a second, punched it . It hit the side of the scorer's table. Same emotion DT showed when she punched the orange mat around the basket support column. If this game was close, would have been way too harsh of a punishment for being human.

Tynice was the #100 player per HoopGurlz, but she was named the Big-12 FOY last season. A late bloomer!

That was not a situation where the ref's had a choice. They are taught to call a "T" in a situation like that. A player must learn to control her emotions. No warning in that case is appropriate.

Wanna know how we can be certain that the T was an obviously correct call? Mulkey didn't even argue. And she argues about everything.
 
My post worked, predicting Baylor would come back to win this game. :)

Actually thought Baylor would comeback to win the game, surprised they didn't.

Does this drop Baylor out of the #1 Seed. Losing to West Virginia is a Bad Loss. Might move Miss St up to a one seed.

You are right that they are taught to give a "T", but they do have a choice. Emotions are part of playing the game. There was no harm done to the opposition and no advantage was attained. I can see your point, "that is what happens (call a T) most of the time", so they have to call it. Good refs could do better, IMO. I guess I am in the minority.

It's the same as slamming the ball into the floor or throwing the ball in anger at a wall. There is no leeway on those calls. I've seen players T'd up for slamming the ball in celebrating a play. Automatic T.

I agree I have seen them called all the time. And I disagree with every one of them. Remember, I am not saying the ref should just ignore the play. He should warn the player. Tirades like that are not to be "endorsed", but players are human. IMO. That is all.

So smart of you to use reverse psychology ha.

Baylor is still a #1 seed, easily. But it might drop them to #4 overall and into UConn's side of the bracket.

What good is warning the player if there's no other consequences? What you permit, you promote.
If you're frustrated, there's a lot you can do. Just don't mess with the ball. Pretty simple. Human beings have control over their actions. Nonhumans might be forgiven for a lack of impulse control.
