Thx Boxster!

Let's Go Girls! Go Cyclones! Beat Da Bears!

Does Baylor have their new center, Nnaji yet?

 

[AlaCyclone]

Let's Go State!

They do and we’re in big trouble if he plays in this game

 

[LSGOST8]

Friendly reminder that today's game is a White Out.

 

[FL Clone]

Go Cyclones! Today is your day to make history...

 

[acoustimac]

Get a usual game out of Crooks, Brown and the guard court and we are ok…the key to be a top team is consistency in a good way.

I doubt it, He played against TCU yesterday and they still lost by 6.

That's the mens team, supposedly he didn't look that great.

I wonder which route Baylor takes, doubling Audi or guarding the three?

Yes. They have team speed so I’m guessing playing behind Crooks and dropping someone to front her. Our passing is going to need to be crisp and quick.

Go clones today we will show where the bears **** in the buckwheat

Agreed, I expect them to double Audi and leave us some open looks from 3. Let's home we make them

I haven’t watched Baylor but based on stats it looks like they have two posts on the roster. Those two are 6’3” and 6’4”. Not a real big roster compared to old Baylor teams. My guess is that they double her. Neither post scores much so that is a positive. Foul trouble could be an issue for Baylor.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Think for Baylor to win they need to keep the score in the 60's, which they have done in the last two seasons. Here's the score from the "Crooks Era" versus Baylor. We are 2-2 and all lower scoring games.

Must have a recruit visiting. Emily was up showing the nutrition floor to a family.

 

[HeiseRiser]

Been looking forward to this one!

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Must have a recruit visiting. Emily was up showing the nutrition floor to a family.

We've been told recruit families sit in the row behind us, probably around the first 8-10 seats fro the far aisle. Have noticed some "not usual" people there in the past, so will try to remember to look this afternoon.
