WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff
- Thread starter BoxsterCy
- Start date
Blackwell left the game with knee injury again. No info yet on how serious. May have been brought back too early.
The three bomb is now the main tool at Baylor. It's called the "New Modern High Octane WNBA Offense". It's what Baylor fans were promised when the new coach arrived. The authorities who post down here described the new offense as one that would be faster and much more productive and exciting to watch. It would be one that would be so appealing to 5-star recruits that BU would virtually become the development league for the WNBA. I got so sick of hearing it I all but quit posting down here for a while. I thought such was a pipe dream and I haven't changed my mind at all. Kim didn't believe in the 3-bomb being her main weapon. She pounded it in the paint till it wore the opposition out. Plus played an intense suffocating defense. She had guards that could shoot threes as good as anybody. But they were instructed to take it inside until the inside was clogged with defenders and then shoot when they were wide open which of course opened the paint back up. It worked, much to the chagrin of all the remaining Big 12 teams.
Things are different now. Until another coach arrives in this conference that recruits at the level she did and coaches with the demanding intensity she did I will not be surprised at all to see a different Big 12 champion virtually every year now. Sorta like musical chairs.
Actually thought of that Kim defense a little last night while watching the first half of the LSU game with Angel Reese playing defense, which she didn't do that much at Maryland. She's a superb athlete, like lots of Frese recruits, but they never played much defense at Maryland recently, except situationally. 25 pts and 20 reb last night. Offense first is fun but defense is the deciding factor most of the time when it comes to championships.
Oklahoma is playing Florida on espn 2. Aubrie Joens is in the game. She was one of the first off the bench.

But did not play all that much. The way things have gone with ISU with off the bench play I think she would have seen more time with us then what she has seen at OU.
In that Nebraska vs Kansas game dual sport (volleyball/WBB) star recruit Maggie Mendelson played 17 minutes and had 9 pts and 9 reb. Not a bad 2nd game in college for the 17 year old who jumped a year to be in this class.
#9 LSU is at #24 Arkansas on ESPN2 right now. LSU hasn't played but one P6 team, Oregon State, but look like a #9 so far tonight on the road here. Up 32-18 in 2nd quarter.
#12 Iowa plays Purdue (10-2) in IC at 8 on BTN. You can't pay me to watch the Hawk guys play but I'll tune in for some this game.
Earlier today Michigan State, who we thumped out in Oregon, beat #4 Indiana 83-78.

Awwww, Clark crying and slamming the floor with both hands because she didn't get a call trying to save the ball from going out of bounds.
First time I've seen Hannah Stuelke look like a player even close to her recruit ranking. Every other time I've watched she's looked lost and would make dumb freshman mistakes. Tonight she's got 5 rebounds and looks maybe like a player.
Human interest sidebar: Ava Jones, the Iowa 2023 recruit that was hurt so badly in that car accident is at the game with her grandmother.

Okie State picks up a mid year transfer. Be interesting to see how she impacts things.

Oklahoma State Signs LSU Transfer Hannah Gusters
The Oklahoma State Cowgirls announced on Thursday that former LSU forward Hannah Gusters as a mid-year transfer. Gusters, 6-foot-5, comes to the Cowgirls after spending last season with LSU and the season before with Baylor, both under coach Kim Mulkey. “We are thrilled with the addition of...

I'm not certain she is eligible to play for OSU this season. Articles have started her eligibility this season is unclear. She was on the LSU basketball team this fall even if she left prior to the start of the season, and that may mean she can't play until next season.
Highly rated out of HS but will now be on her third school. Guess you could make the case she was recruited over with the transfer in of Angel Reese but on the other hand she's not shown much to prove that HS recruit rating.
Big 12 opponents:
TCU was playing Baylor close for three quarters but got blown out 27-11 in the 4th to lose 64-42.
Texas whomped K-State 87-41.
OU and WVU were tied at 62 with 1:30 left in the 3rd then OU turned on the afterburners to win 98-77.
Kansas leading OSU 22-18 at the end of the 1st.
Non-con opponents:
SIUE beat Southeast Missouri 76-61 to win their 2nd game of the year.
Columbia beat Yale 97-53 to improve to 12-2.
Cleveland State defeated Robert Morris 70-52 to improve to 13-1.

Hopefully we get some help. I'd like us to get a conference championship just out of principle.
And the thing that gnaws on me…we could win the conf and Bill still wouldn’t get COY
