Kansas without their star freshman recruits looked "okay". Gophers looked less than that. Looks like another bubble team year for the Gophers. That's a shame in a state that churns out so many good players. And I can save a few bucks and not sign up for BTN+ to watch them.

Former recruiting target Britt Prince is off to a great start in first five games this season for Huskers. She averaging 21 pts and shooting 57% from three and 62% overall. Granted, not P4 play but still a great start.
She had a good freshman season at Nebraska but sort of gets overlooked by the Big Ten PR machine with Huskers being "almost" good. She's a regional recruiting miss I wish we had won, think she was a perfect fit for our system and roster. Still, musing some, maybe she won't have been happy here playing third fiddle until she was a senior. If she averages 20/game in Big Ten play folks will have to take notice.

Yeah, that's the speculation now. Saw that maybe the Kansas tweet was for Cydnee Bryant (#33) but that was just a forum posting.
Troy leading Mizzou 82-59 at the under-5 timeout in the 3rd quarter.
Troy finished last season at NET 109, so they are a decent team. Still, that's a shocking score.
Final score: Troy 100, Missouri 82.
Main stats: Troy had 16 offensive boards to Missouri's 4, and 9 turnovers to Missouri's 18. That allowed Troy to attempt 21 more FG than Missouri, which was the difference.
Because the odds makers didn't knee jerk voting Baylor into the Top 10 for beating a ranked Duke that is no longer even in the Top 25? I think Iowa's maybe pretty good. Undecided on Baylor, I've only seen the game in Paris and it was just too weird an opening game to gain a real impression. Going to be a good watch IMHO.
Iowa/Baylor is ugly like the Duke/Baylor game in Paris. Maybe this is the Bear thing, ugly ball.
Lot of blocks though. Baylor blocks a crazy amount of shots.

Iowa has TEN offensive boards at the half. Shooting horribly from the field (26%). Then figure they are 33% from deep and you know they've missed some easy shots.
Iowa is down two starters now. Stuelke at the end of the 1st half and now their PG, Wright, was just carried off the court. Pretty sure she has a concussion. She sat up but was to unsteady to walk on her own.
Stuelke just got back. Baylor plays kind of rough, noticed it when we played last year - and they get away with it. Now they're starting to call more on them it seems, Baylor bench is not pleased.
Iowa is going to be a problem. Their post play has gotta be some of the best in the country. Ball movement and defense is also good.
If they could just shoot they'd be thumping Baylor. As of right now they have missed 31 shots and 5 free throws.
Nicki Collen is an overrated head coach. Always seems to get less out of more.
