Whoa. Some serious personnel losses for this game. Apparently only dressing 8 players for the game.
 
Interesting performance by UConn.

Stop Bueckers and you stop UConn but good luck with that.

I knew Fudd was good. But whether it's her knee or the change in level I'm not sure how badly she can hurt you off the dribble. You definitely will take your chance with that. I will say 2-3 years ago she could make things happen. So could be temporary.
 
Watched a bit of Baylor-Maryland. Holy cow the Bears sure are trigger happy on launching 3's. Kinda hard for Smith or Egbo to do anything if they never touch the ball.


I guess I watched the wrong part of the game. Smith has 13 on 6-9 shooting. Only 12 3's attempted. I must've seen all of them. But they only hit 4 of them, while almost 50% overall.

Boy, burnt Orange doesn't look great on a creamsicle Orange background. #futureSECproblems.

Gonna be weird seeing this longtime nonconference rivalry game (annual since the early 80s?) become a conference game.
 
Nalyssa Smith so dominant. I am very impressed.
 
Thought Texas looked pretty good, but maybe not quite at the point where they have great interior scoring.

Maryland really had that thing in hand until I guess there was a late comeback.

Baylor's offense to me looks to have a lot more spacing but they don't force inside as well and the defense probably isn't as intense.

I guess it's anyone's guess how Baylor will be set for talent going forward. They're a dangerous team though I bet come March.

Yes Baylor is way better than I expected… at least looking at the stats from their first 3 games of this season. If Jordan Lewis becomes Robin to Nalyssa’s Batman, then they will be dangerous!

MD did a hell of a job fighting for this win though especially with Benzan out (especially) & Faith out. Angel Reese/Collins/Bibby held their own against the Baylor Bigs.

Maryland was up 11 and the Diamond went down with injury to her knee. Baylor used that momentum to make a run but thankfully the Terps held on for the W

GA Tech got “Starkey”‘-ed early and didn’t have enough to time to come all the way back. Very nice win for Coach Harris.

Not at all what I'd have expected and somebody is getting out of the SEC cellar at my next look.

Maryland's led foot on the gas at all times almost cost them the game. The Terps were comfortably ahead and grabbed a couple of defensive rebounds with about three minutes left in the game. They took shots 6 seconds into the shot clock. I think Collins took one and Bibby took one. I think they should work on time management instead of trying to score 90 points every game. Especially against the better teams.

I totally agree. If they would have milked the clock for the last two minutes than they would have won with a comfortable lead.

Yeah big win and unexpected. I think there will be moments like this in the season. Just won’t be many but it’s a very encouraging sign and our recruiting picking up. Within 2 years I think being top half in the SEC and being a NCAA tournament team will happen. Just about getting the players in.
 
Really ugly win by Arkansas over SMU. Bricksville. I think after the big emotion game against UConn and in-state grudge game (first game in 16 years) Arkansas State, the Hogs just showed up cold as ice. If you can shoot 40% from the FT line and win … so be it, I guess.
 
Chicago State beat Wisconsin in OT.

Nicholls fell to 0-3, losing 77-48 to Louisiana Tech.
 
Does anybody know why the AP doesn’t do game recaps for the ranked women’s games anymore? At least I don’t see them anymore on ESPN :confused:

I have been noticing this as well. Maybe ESPN is cutting costs by not paying AP for their WCBB write-ups? Or maybe the AP isn't automatically assigning those games to be written up?

Would be a great question to direct to Doug Feinberg, longtime women's basketball AP writer.
