The stage is set for the title game now.
I think Baylor is the favorite but guessing it'll be close. Turner and Shepard will be a formidable frontline for Cox/Brown to go up against. Might come down to how Jackson/Landrum/Richards do compared to Mabrey/Young/Arike. Should be a great game.
Agreed
Landrum and Jackson played so passive tonight and didn't shoot very well either. Both will need to play better on Sunday
The real match up to watch is the wardrobe choice of Muffet vs. Kim. Busting out the leopard print was a bold choice tonight. Can anybody top that?
Go Bears. Honestly I was rooting for Oregon and UConn tonight but I'll give ND credit for digging down deep to get that one.
Have you seen Kim's closet?
Shepard and Brown aren't the best defensive players. If either one ends up on the other on offense (if that makes sense), there will be scoring opportunities. I'm looking forward to the post match ups.I think this is the game where Baylor's lack of outside shooting finally bites them. Baylor thrives on abusing the paint, but I think Shepard and Turner are by far the best opposing post duo they have faced this season, and will essentially nullify what has thus far been Baylor's trump card in Brown/Cox. There can be little doubt that the guard matchup is heavily in ND's favor.
ND will also have a huge advantage in terms of big game experience. I also think there's some element at play of Baylor being a little too satisfied to have finally cleared the Elite 8 hurdle. They were just barely good enough to beat an equally Final Four-inexperienced Oregon team that hardly played its best Saturday.
I hope Baylor proves them wrong, but I am just not sensing that this will go well for them.
I have a sense how the refs call this game could be significant. Hope I’m wrong ... despite the entertainment value if Kim starts throwing clothing.I think this is the game where Baylor's lack of outside shooting finally bites them.
