On FS1, 11 am my time so I think that would make it 2 pm Eastern. Might keep you entertained while you're waiting for UConn vs. ND to start.

Stanford has improved a lot since those disastrous first two games, but I don't know if they can stay with Baylor, especially if McPhee isn't back.

Yikes, Stanford is back to their early season form. I quit watching at 13-3. Terrible effort so far from the Cardinal.

And Kalani Brown is just huge. She just looks about 50% bigger than anyone else on the court. Kinda like Shaq during his heyday, I don't see how anyone can physically match up with her.

This was what I said when I saw her live at the UCLA game. She made a 6'4" Monique Billings look like a little girl trying to guard her. She's the Liz Cambage of WCBB. Shaq is an apt comparison as well.

Stanford shooting 2-16. Not a single starter scored a single point in the 1st quarter. Let's see if the great Vanderveer can right the ship... They may be overmatched, but there's no excuse for that kind of performance...

I actually hope we play Baylor in the tournament. I think if we bring our A game against them, no contest. We'll see. The tournament is ours to win. If, if we bring our A game, we will win. (Baring the dreaded injury thing.)

How many TO's for Stanford? When you can't shoot worth a crap, it doesn't help if you keep giving the ball away, too. I'm starting to wonder if Tara is going to get this turned around this year. They just look terrible today, like they did the first game against tOSU and UConn.

Stanford has stopped the bleeding but still missing way too many shots.

Also, Alanna Smith had to go to the bench with her 3rd foul.

Watched this game for 10 minutes. This Stanford team does not look anything like the type of Stanford team we're use to seeing. The look very average at best.

39-26 Baylor at the half. Kaylee Johnson for Stanford has filed out to begin the second half . Stanford can't stop Kalani Brown in the paint she's got 25 points and counting .

You can stick a fork in Stanford they're done. They can't stop the bleeding or Kalani Brown

Baylor has really been promoting this slogan "The Basketball Capital of Texas" — are they feeling the heat from Austin or what.

Mulkey at the halftime interview with LaChina says bluntly, "I'm not gonna outcoach Tara so I need my kids to play defense, and I think they did that..."

Before the game, they showed she's averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds over the last 3 games. I don't think she's gonna get there today probably.

Only down 13 at the break? Looked like it was going to be much worse than that the way the game started.

Yeah as I said they did stop the bleeding. They stayed even with Baylor in 2Q and got quite a few second- and third-chance opportunities with offensive boards. Williams off the bench has been big for them, and Carrington and Dodson have made some plays.

They still REALLY miss McPhee.

Baylor settled for too many long range shots early in the shot clock. Cox and Cohen took some bad shots.

I’m sure that Wilson will be the NPOY but Brown should be in consideration. I don’t know of one WCBB player who can match up with her physically.

Looked at box score. Stanford starters have combined for...3 points. Team shooting 24% from the floor (8-34) w/ 10 TO's. Baylor should be up 20-25 points at this point. Looks like it's basically Brown from Baylor (20) and Williams from Stanford (13) having a shooting contest, not getting a whole lot from anybody else on either team.

Haha Tara at the halftime interview:

"We can't stop the big girl at all. She is BIG ..."

Kaylee Johnson just fouled out of the game.

It's early in the THIRD quarter.

Johnson was rebounding, but not scoring. Little used Shannon Coffee has hit 3 from behind the arc today in relief.

Stanford closed to 8 to start the 3rd quarter, but Baylor pulling away now 50-35 w/ 4:26 left in Q3.

Brown has 26 on 11-14 from the floor, but only 3 rebounds? What gives with that?

They definitely miss McPhee, but I don't think she's gonna cure all of their problems.

Most of Stanford's shots have been outside shots. Long shot, long rebound.
