UConn at -6' so I will pass..

Geno will only play 6 players if it stays tight ..7 at the most..

Baylor can't defend 3 but rebounds and scores in the paint..

The whistle will determine a lot tonite..at Baylor

Looked at that game-will tell if either team is as good as last years teams? I suspect both of them--gl

have watched Uconn 6 times and don't think they are as good as last year yet..

may not get that good...3 WNBA from that team..

haven't seen Baylor yet......

I was sure Baylor could win this game then I watch the Baylor vs Stanford game again and it made me scratch my head.


Nice call on that Belmont total

actually dumb luck..........picked a night Belmont played like a High School Team..


guys where I really messed up was Green Bay

not playing against them and over the total..

all day the plan was Wright St. and Over :facepalm:

they[GB] have big trouble as I noted earlier this season and IUPUI Wright State and Youngstown St. all have better teams this year..Those 120 totals will not hold water anymore..Coach Borseth was furious tonite..Madder than I have ever seen him...Actually yelling at players...I probably watched 10 GB games year and never saw him lose his cool. Got 1 shooter and no rebounders on a team that pride itself on both.

So Baylor beating Con proves what? The Queen is dead?

So Baylor beating Con proves what? The Queen is dead?

for Baylor is was huge...run out in Conf. and they get a #1 seed.

for UConn a huge wake up considering it was the last real test until the Dance

Their destruction of ND and what look to be a surviving of the nasty road trip if they made it past Baylor

had all the others on their heels again thinking how do we beat them.

Now it's we can beat them..99% of the Women's teams including the TOP Seeds didn't think they can beat UConn...in past years ...First regular season loss since 2014 ...

The Queen ain't dead but after 2 straight years of semi finals ousters[sp] and this loss to Baylor those waiting at the Dance come March will have confidence they never had before.

It proves...

It proves...

It proves that UCONN was hurt by the dissolution of the Big East. The American conference provides NO challenge for them.
The chasm between UCONN and the rest of the ladies game has been closing for years. They have not made the Finals two years in a row. UCONN is a powerhouse but if they played in a conference with
Notre Dame
Syracuse
Marquette
etc and played them twice a year plus the conference tourney I believe we would see a more battle tested UCONN team come march and most likely some more titles...

This UCONN team can be bullied. Christy Williams will be amazing but she is young. The team is not deep.
I estimated they would lose to Cal or Baylor... There is no one in the American conference that will even play them within 15. USF is really down this year lacking guard play.


I am not sure anything is proven in January.

Keep in mind the starting forward for the WNBA Dallas Azura Stevens would be starting for UConn had she not left early.
