Funny reading the Baylor WBB message board.

There is some of that. But also

I sat right behind the Beaver bench. I've never seen a bigger group of girls on one team. They were also athletic, they shot incredible well, played great defense and they deserved to win last night. They took it to us. Congrats to them. I don't think we were prepared to play of team of that size. They took us out of our offensive rhythm. As previously mentioned, free throws killed us. I hope they give UCONN all the want.

And:
OSU played like their coach coached: composed.

I think the biggest differential between Baylor and the Beavs was coaching. Rueck >>>>>>>>>>> The Coat Thrower.

I couldn't believe she burned her last timeout at 3:55 to go in a tied game.

I often wonder what this team could do if they could limit their turnovers to half of their average.  They sure do get a lot of them.  I would love to know what is causing this.

Why don't you tell us? Or is this one of them fancy rhetorical questions?

I actually like our matchup with them better than most. When Stanford beat them, it felt very flukey - Stanford got then out of playing fundamental basketball, and got a lot of isolation opportunities on their own for a couple of athletic players that got hot. It was clear that UConn was the better coached, more fundamentally sound team and I kept expecting them to pull away - they just never did. That won't be a recipe for us. On the other hand, they typically take advantage of being fundamentally a lot more sound than other teams, not just more talented and athletic. OSU can largely match their size and fundamentals. They are obviously more skilled overall, but we can at least force them to beat us the old-fashioned way, and that is making tough shots. We'll have to do the same, of course, and then some. But I do see us having a good shot of making them execute for 40 minutes to pull away, giving us a chance to hang around and maybe make a run serious run at them if we make it a tight game.

The disadvantage they have is that they haven't had to face a late game challenge all year, and if we can force them into that situation, it could get interesting. I was surprised watching that Stanford game that they really didn't play well down the stretch and simply didn't respond well to being seriously challenged in crunch time.

This team doesn't care about any of that.  We may get beat, UConn is an excellent team, but it won't be because this team got intimidated.

1111 I'm just gonna call you "Sandy" from here on out. At my job I'm known for two things: 1)I'm the biggest Beaver fan, 2) I'm the "Crusher of Hopes and Dreams" (no, I'm not in HR, I'm in Testing). But you put me to shame. This is the Final Four, man! Anything can happen. Would you have told David not to pick up that stone and step out onto the field against Goliath? Would you have told Steve Jobs not to keep working on that Mac thingy? Let the dream live, Dude! I can't step outside in the bright sunshine for fear I'll feel a drop, turn around only to see you standing on the second floor peeing down on my head.
Do me a favor, next time you wash down there...use a little extra water and try to get some of the sand out!
