Stanford (1) @ Texas - 12/22/29

[Plebe]

who have UConn played so far this season? They’ve only played 1 ranked opponent in DePaul so far. Baylor has at least played 3 ranked teams already

1. You're deflecting. This thread isn't about UConn.
2. How many true road games has Baylor played so far? I'll wait to see if you know the answer.
3. South Florida is not a top 25 team or anything close.

 

[Zanzman]

It happens. The aftershocks of winning women's soccer and women's volleyball within a matter of weeks.

They'll bounce back. They're definitely one of the best teams.

Please not connected at all

Juicy Landrum says hi

ESPNW tends to like players who help lead their team to a huge upset.

Juicy Landrum says hi

Seriously? Her record setting day was against Arkansas St. Texas just beat the #1 ranked team in the polls. One of those is more momentous than the other.

 

[DeeHusky]

Is vintage Joyner back after two rough seasons?

Collier is really impressive. She has room to improve offensively, and once she does, watch out. I don’t think she is as raw as others do, and she is a superb rebounder.

These two should among be the best front courts in the country, only if Aston was a good coach.

Some contend Joyner Holmes is an underachiever.
On the other hand, one could argue Karen doesn't get the best out of her.

I suspect Ionescu could be in play also. Two triple doubles in one week?

 

[Plebe]

Kiah Gillespie will get consideration, triple-double in a game against a top 25 (AP) team.

But I think Collier is the front runner. ESPN's track record is partial to players who have star turns in a significant upset or in an ESPN-broadcast game. This one ticks both boxes.

 

[Txhoopsalot]

I am very happy for Joyner Holmes this year. I see a young woman who has really grown up. She is more articulate. She is working hard to be a team player and a team leader. She is working hard through an ankle injury. And today, Holmes and Collier together (with some help from undersized Jada Underwood) were the best front court playing in the Erwin Center in Austin.

Massey ranks UConn's current SOS at No 1. Baylor at No 15

The Massey rankings of Baylor's opponents in order of date played: 320, 327, 300, 88, 197, 64, 8, 5,

Massey's rankings of UConn's opponents in order of date played: 48, 62, 79, 59, 43, 102, 68, 50, 13, 76

I'll admit that UConn's resume isn't filled with top 10 teams but Baylor has played a bunch of teams worse than anything in the AAC.

It's going to be very difficult to make my next Boneyard Top 25 ballot.

The great thing is that there aren't any more games (at least no important ones) for awhile, so we have a week to put our ballots together.

I remember Holmes was suspended from the team for a semester her sophomore (?) year and never seemed to get a head of steam going. What about last year? I have a vague recollection that she wasn't fully healthy, but I could be mis-remembering.

Last year to this year has really been night and day. I'm rooting for her; I remember how much fun she was to watch her freshman year. She certainly seems to be in better shape.

To that end, I did a "midterm" compilation:

BY25 poll #4: Results are in (and there's a tie)

Thanks to all who voted. Also receiving votes (on at least two ballots): Michigan State 14, Minnesota 13, Princeton 10, Drake 7, Northwestern 6, Rutgers 6, Creighton 4. The following teams appeared on only one ballot: Georgia Tech, Kansas, Ohio State, Iowa.

She broke her ankle and had surgery in October of last year, missed about the first month or so of the season.

 

[DefenseBB]

We play The Horns Jan. 31 in Austin. Aston has yet to score a W over Coach Mulkey.
Wouldn't it be something if Jan. 31 was D day? Wouldn't that be something?

Never let the truth get in the way of a good myth! Karen beat Kim Feb 6, 2017 at Baylor 85-79.
So, that with a better inside game of Collier and Holmes (she still thinks she’s a shooting guard at times) does give Longhorn fans hope. Can Juicy hit 3’s when needed is what I want to know and will Cooper, you know, actually show up for a big game?

 

[DefenseBB]

Holmes was not enrolled (due academically being ineligible?) her first semester sophomore year and did play after the semester ended. Kudos to her for persevering and doing what she needed to and I hope she can earn some National attention/awards as she has oodles of talent. Be a nice story.

I‘m trying to remember that game.

A mere 34 months ago, yet truly a different era. Juniors Atkins and McCarty, sophomore Higgs and freshman Holmes all had outstanding games.

Texas' Charli Collier is espnW's player of the week

A month ago, Texas' season was spiraling. On Sunday, Charli Collier had 20 points and 19 rebounds to help the Horns knock off the nation's No. 1 team.

Nicely called

Thank you

Several Lady Bears experienced foul trouble in that game. Coach Mulkey implemented the antiquated '2-foul rule.' UT kept pouring it on.

. . . How is a player suppose to score when she's sitting on the bench!?

Wait, I thought you were the one who said Aston had never beaten Mulkey?

Regardless, I'm not sure what foul trouble you're alluding to. Who exactly was in foul trouble? I'm not seeing that any Baylor player had two fouls in the 1st half.
