Pretty straight forward on this one....Bears are godless killing machines.
Baylor wins 82-67.
MEYERS: Earth to Meyers; come back to us my good man.
(And happy new year to you and yours)
Scoring offense - Baylor #1, UConn #14
Scoring defense - Baylor #4, UConn #27
UConn has played a tougher schedule but their inconsistency this year makes it tough to pick a winner. If UConn plays up to their ability they win. So I'll make my prediction after the game.
Lol Baylor has been one of the best defensive teams the last couple of years! Regardless of competition Baylor is still a damn good defensive team especially with DiDi Richards and Lauren cox. Juicy Landrum is also a good defender as wellI'm not sure I endorse that first stat. Allow me to share an observation here. Of the 12 games they've played to date, 6 of those teams could be classified as "cupcakes". Here's their schedule. Baylor's OOC schedule includes basketball powerhouses like #312 New Hampshire (4-10), #308 Grambling State (2-11), #264 Arkansas State (4-9) and # 329 Houston Baptist (4-9), etc. Low to middle mid-major losers, that are nowhere near their equal in terms of talent, depth or experience. I used Massey as my source of reference for these numbers.
So of course they are going to put up excessive and mostly unchallenged numbers against those teams. Kim is known for consistently playing weak OOC preseason schedules. It hasn't hurt her program so far. She continues to get #1 seeds in the tournament. She also schedules most of these games to be played in Waco. The first 10 games (not including the tournament games played in the Virgin Islands) were ALL played at home at the Farrell Center. Baylor's first road game was Saturday @ Oklahoma, 2 months into the season.
So pardon me if I'm a bit skeptical of those factual numbers for the reasons stated. Their defense could be questioned for the same reason. No doubt if UConn played those programs, they too would have produced similar numbers.

People forget that t’ea Cooper or Juicy Landrum can go off any time. It’s just they don’t have to because of our posts! People think that Juicy Landrum just shoots 3’s but she can drive with the best of them and t’ea can too! I think the x-factor for Baylor will be juicy and t’ea going off for BaylorPeople are seeming to forget the factor Tea Cooper can be in this game . I fondly remember her being the only SC player not being afraid to take it to the huskies last season . This will be a dandy of a game !!
Thursday can’t get here fast enough. A lot of people’s eyes will be WIDE OPEN after this one . Baylor should jump from 7 to 1 if they win .People forget that t’ea Cooper or Juicy Landrum can go off any time. It’s just they don’t have to because of our posts!

For sure! I just hate the fact that Oregon lost but dropped 2 spots but Baylor loses and drop 5 spots even though we lost without our best player but Oregon had all their players so what’s their excuse? but it’s all good, rankings don’t matter anyway until the post seasonThursday can’t get here fast enough.

I was being sarcastic but it would be great too see lol . Last year Geno chose to play off Chloe Jackson and let her shoot in order to pack it in down low. I wonder if that same game plan will be applied to Tea Cooper? She’s a better offensive player so it should be interesting.For sure!

Well maybe but after the game that she had at Oklahoma I’m sure UConn will be guarding herI was being sarcastic but it would be great too see lol .

No, I have seen Baylor and Oregon. If Baylor wins, Oregon is back on top. I don’t know if UConn is better than Baylor but I do know Oregon is. What I want is an UConn win, setting up forthcoming game with Oregon as a preview of FFFor sure!
