Week 2 games (Nov. 30 – Dec. 6)

Egbo taking over in the 2nd half. Just give it to Egbo and get out the way

Smith should be benched if she is gonna launch all those bad. shots

It's worth remembering that last year's pedestrian USF squad gave Baylor all they could handle in Waco. It was a 3-point game in the 4th quarter before Baylor inched away for a 58-46 win.

No. 22/23 USF Drops Heartbreaker to No. 2/2 Baylor, 58-46 - USF Athletics

RECAP: Bethy Mununga records fourth double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds; Elisa Pinzan has 14 points

This game looks similar except for the fact that there's more scoring so far.

Mnunga is a rock down low.

uhhh....Baylor having 10 players available all year is skating on thin ice.

Duke has 9 players available all year.... and one is currently out injured.
 
This looks like a typical Kim Mulkey game that results in a loss since they don't want to guard the 3 point line. They will probably squeak this out since they will just pound it to Egbo the rest of the game and they can't stop her.

Just curious... in what way? Style of play?

No clue what he is referring to. Although Brown and Gusters both were out of shape as freshmen, both tall big post players (Brown obviously taller), and soft touch around the rim.
 
Egbo literally just walked with the basketball two possession in the row, like she literally forgot that you have to dribble.

Baylor doesn't look very good....3pt game with a minute to go.

So happy to see Richards out there and she's been effective so far.

3pt shooting looks atrocious without Cooper/Landrum. Egbo with a big 2nd half.

This season so far feels like a series of exhibition games and the quality of play has reflected that.

So the most shocking aspect of the Baylor-USF game is not that the Bulls are hanging in there with the Lady Bears, What is absolutely shocking is what Kim is wearing. Through the years I’ve gotten used to Kim’s sartorial splendor. I know she’s got a huge wardrobe. But tonight it looks like she’s sporting a pair of old jeans and one of hubby’s oversized work shirts. :oops:

It seems like just a few years ago when she was bragging to Geno about her shapely butt.

I dont know why they gave her the ball at 15-17 feet out two possessions in a row.
 
Baylor very well may be very good down the road (I suspect they will improve a lot). Not close to a top 5 team at this point of time.

Smith (if she actually shows up....). and Egbo are a dynamite post duo. Gusters looks to be a very solid contributor for a freshmen and should develop well and can take it to the next level once she gets into better shape. Guard play cannot shoot at all. Didi is a terrific ball handler and defender. All comes back to not having shooters. I don't think they replaced Landrum and Cooper well. Carrington I don't think is someone who is consistent deep threat shooter.

Unless Carrington, Andrews or Bickle dramatically improve their 3 point shooting, Baylor will run into issues down the Road when they face a good team with post presence. At some point, you have to make shots.
 
That was an ugly win by Baylor! Definitely not top 4 team with the poor shooting! Thank goodness for our defense! Thank God we have Didi Richards back! I’m actually scared to play Arkansas later this week

That was nice little conversation that both Jose and Kim shared at the end of the game. Lots of little pats on the arms by each, head nodding and even with masks on, it look like good camaraderie. Good for both of them. Even Jose wasn't wearing his trademark suit, just a polo shirt and khaki's, like Jake, from State Farm...:rolleyes:

As bad as Baylor is shooting, Arkansas doesn't play much defense or even care about rebounding. I think they get murdered inside by Smith and Egbo. Don't see Smith playing like this moving forward, tonight was as bad as one could be.

Nice chin diaper look. Why are these coaches and players even bothering to fake wearing a mask?
Expand ...

About 90% of the mens and women's basketball games I have watched so far, all the coaches have their masks down yelling. Very few have them on throughout the game.
 
I tell ya, every single person that dissed UConn's conference affiliation in the previous 7 years needs to go sit facing the corner. I can recall now 3 times that mighty Baylor has played South Florida in the past several years, and each time it was a slugfest.

Put succinctly, USF has more consistently given Baylor close, tough games than any of its Big 12 rivals.
 
You cannot underestimate how important Cox was last year. The focus of Baylor’s opponents on stopping Cox opened up all kinds of scoring opportunities for Smith & Egbo inside, as well as Landrum & Cooper outside. Of course, not having Landrum & Cooper to knock down shots, also places a strain on Baylor’s offense. Kim has her work cut out for her this season.

Iowa State begs to differ last year. :oops: Consistently, over time might be a different story.
 
Ok, I did a quick lookup for all of us to consider-in her run of 10 Regular season titles, she's lost exactly 8 games.

Yes, my use of 'consistently' was intentional.

Maybe because she was the offense and got doubled every time she set up low. Mmunga did a good job denying her the block.

Baylor's offense is a work in progress. They won because of 21 offense boards and Richard's defense.

Donald-All 3 teams have returning players who you should have seen-AZ-McDonald, Thomas and Cat Reese, UCLA has Onywere and Dean, Stanford has Hull, Williams and Wilson and 3 teams times 2 games each is 6 games against teams with quickness. Head bang
Expand ...
I have seen all of them and I did not say games, I said teams. They will play other games against quick teams. The teams you named could beat most teams outside the Pac 12. Those players you named are very good. Stanford also has Jones, who may wind up being as good as any of them.

Arizona absolutely, and UCLA has been for years, so I can make a pretty good assumption they are again. Stanford has some quick players for sure.

I agree.
