What will a loss tonight do to our chances for playing at home for the first round of the tournamen, especially since the ******* squawks probably will get to play in IC?
Nothing, locked into first two rounds in Ames

This reminds me of watching us play Texas in football a decade ago, takes about 3 seconds to realize our athletes are not on that level.

FYI when the brackets come out just cross your fingers we get a bracket filled with a bunch of finesse teams that are filled with guard play.

So is this team just the "best of the rest" outside the top teams? I.e ceiling of Elite 8 at best

No way we miss out on home games. They want schools hosting who can draw a crowd.

Think we would need to get a pretty favorable bracket to get to the Elite 8. That or we just go nuts making 3's.

We have played 1 game within 10 points in Big 12 play. If you take out the fluke week with covid issues, and the refs allowing a wrestling match to break out on the basketball court at Texas, this team has been incredibly good. There is no reason to say certain things have to go perfect for us to have a chance. If a wrestling match breaks out, we are in trouble. But short of that this team can ho hum their way to a victory, or play perfect and dominate. I believe, and we all should this far into the season.
Still disagree?

I've watched several girls games but am no expert. Kinda seems like we rely heavily on Joens, Ryan and Donarski to dribble around and make things happen. Against most teams that's probably good but Baylor is too big and athletic.

Does the Women’s game have a flop warning? Because if so it should definitely have already come out against Bickell. Two no calls where she slid 5 feet from the point of “contact”
