Stanford/Baylor [merged thread]

[ThisJustIn]

Yah, i point fingers at espn and any other broadcaster... But, where the hell are the coaches and ADs of these teams? The head of their Confrences? They've known since forever. They should have - and could have - made i happen and chose not to.

Three point shooting is a key - Cardinal 50%, Bears 14%

. If Simms is in the game, I wonder if Stanford still comes away with the win.

Of course not.
Baylor had to replace the best PG in the country with a frosh. And they lost by 2.

I'm watching but I didn't see the last play very well, I heard it went in to BG, where was she when she missed?

Not sure Phil but I think she was on the left baseline, maybe 15 ft. Out. Very makable shot.

 

[Phil]

ESPN stats show different picture for rebounds, still a Cardinal edge, but 35-27.

 

[Phil]

thanks speedo, the announcer just reprised it, and she agrees with you.

 

[Joe6cats]

Now that is a game worth re-watching... if we'd had a chance to record it.

might not include team rebounds

ESPN stats are not to be trusted

 

[Phil]

Bears FG OK at 45%, but Cardinal at 51%

Shows how important Sims is to this team!

That was my thought!

 

[Aluminny69]

Thanks, Boneyarders, that was very entertaining!

 

[Phil]

might not include team rebounds

That rings a bell, I think you are right

Most likely Stanford will end up #1 with UConn still #2.

And suddenly UConn is #1.

 

[Phil]

Bears had none more shot attempts

Most likely Stanford will end up #1 with UConn still #2.

Yeah, I was just debating that. I could see it go either way, but if I'm the Cardinal, I saying I'm undefeated, and just knocked off Baylor, what on earth else do you want?

 

[UConnChapette]

Most likely Stanford will end up #1 with UConn still #2.

Not likely. Hard to jump up three spots without a loss of the two other teams ahead of you, and with Baylor missing their AA point guard.

Stanford played a great defensive game against Stanford in the NCAA semis last year but didn't win because no one other than Nneka could make a shot. I think Stanford shot 1 for 17 on 3s. Today, Stanford played the same solid defense (No Sims helped), but made just enough shots to win.

BTW, on one of Stanford's last possessions Destiny Williams missed an easy shot under the basket. I don't mention this as a criticism of Williams as she played an excellent game. It's just that making big shots at big moments often decides who wins games between top teams.

I said it the other day, if baylor can not guard the three uconn will just outscore them and play good D

Figured it had to be something for Simms. No way Stanford wins if she's playing, at least I don't think so. Still great win for Stanford.

In the 2012 Final Four, Stanford played great defense against Baylor but shot 2 for 17 on three-pointers. Different story today.

 

[Phil]

Only six Bears with double-digit minutes, only 7 for the Cardinal.

Cardinal with only 4 minutes for players not in top 7, Bears with 3 for players not in top 7.

 

[triaddukefan]

Not likely. Hard to jump up three spots without a loss of the two other teams ahead of you, and with Baylor missing their AA point guard.

Stanford will definitely move up to two. They will jump Duke without a doubt. They also have wrapped up the #1 seed in the Spokane Region already. The only one left up for grabs is Norfolk.

 

[Joe6cats]

Most likely Stanford will end up #1 with UConn still #2.

Would dropping Baylor more than 1 be fair, with Sims out? But if yes, after that showing I wouldn't quibble with Stanford at 1.

 

[Alydar]

bet ESPN wishes they would have covered this game now.....


I know I do!

Me too but Friday is NBA night at ESPN. I think Sheldon Cooper is their program director.

 

[magical2]

With or without Simms great ST victory over Baylor!!! Also shows the difference of our depth and Baylor's!
There goes Baylor streak! Ranking of #1 Props to ST,Tara etal and ST is better than I thought they were
Also props to W for getting straming link No sound not greatest pic but great game! Great game to watch

Shame on whoever for this game not being on National TV

[doggydaddy]

That counts as a Stanford home game?

Crap....I forgot where the game was played....lol.

Never mind....

Not a chance in hell that Stamford jumps Uconn! Bet on it.

Prince didn't play in the 2nd half for Baylor.
