  1. They scored 92 points. We're going to need to dial that down for them. (If we advance.... 🙂)
  2. Good half, in control. This team has won 15 straight I think? Great to see us taking care of busyness vs a lesser team. Playing at home certainly doesn't hurt. Superwoman RH with 5 assists still no turns and 9 points
  3. Hunter getting a lot of burn, more than usual. Vic thinking about not losing her for next year and feeling confident in this game.
  4. Yeah, at 6'4" she should be better but still thin and gets knocked around.
  5. We need Bishop back in in a big way, Disu not doing it. Hopefully that will get Carr going and they can use the defibrillator on Ramey during the half. Bishop being out put more pressure on Allen.
  6. Great comments by Vic about Ebo starting at the 36:17 mark. "Most improved"

  8. Well, two of those are notches in our whoop ass stick so I wouldn't count us out. We aren't SC good but we are Baylor and Standford good and I trust Vic to pull the right levers at the right time. Hey at least we are in the conversation, in the top 6 or 8 out of 351 schools and we are trending up. Baylor I think is trending down at this point. The future looks very bright.
