Baylor has a commanding lead against Texas 33-17 at halftime. Texas's offense is hard to watch. It'll be interesting to see how Texas adjusts in the second half.

It still bugs me, maybe some of you fanatics as well, that we got two of Texas's best games when we played them. So unfortunate. With the current league playing out, there's a good chance ISU and Texas will end up at the 4th and 5th seed in the Big12 tournament. If that happened, I would fully expect the sisters get the revenge.
19 points for UT with 2 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. Cold weather/cold shooting..
22% from the field & 14% FT & 0/8 on 3 pointersBaylor doesn't seem to be affected.

This Texas/Baylor game is horrible. It took Texas, what, 28 minutes to pass 20 points? Baylor is hardly what I would call impressive, either, aside from killing Texas on the boards. Definitely wish THIS 'horn squad could have shown up to at least ONE of the games against Iowa State.
Listening to announcers speculating on whether or not Collier will go WNBA early. They might want to expand their speculation that the #1 pick in the WNBA gets $68,000, not the $8M + that the #1 pick in the NBA gets. It's not like the financial temptation is huge, IMHO.
Collier (5 points, 2 rebounds, no free throw attempts) hasn't taken a shot in the 2nd half..Now she just fouled out with 1:48 to go. 56-29. Yikes!
Crazy how the team's players were assigned seating under the baskets & the coaches on the sidelines.

Baylor's man-to-man defense holding opponents to 32% shooting for the year. That's impressive.19 points for UT with 2 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. Cold weather/cold shooting..

Interesting observation on Iowa, that could be interesting to see how that develops over time, she is a offensive force but I never have paid attention to see how she gets her points. Is she a black hole, once the ball goes there it never comes back? If I'm driving I'll listen to a Iowa game but I won't stop the channel flipping to watch them on TV, (yeah I'm petty and anti-hawk that way)
She shoulders a burden of scoring and point guarding for assists. She turns it over a little too much, too many high risk passes, not like she has a poor handle on the ball and is overmatched. But offense is NOT a problem for Iowa. Like most freshman, she isn't great or even decent on defense. The entire team sucks on defense. They are a more extreme version of us, #2 in the Big 10 in scoring (like we are in the Big 12) but dead last of 14 teams in defense. We are mediocre on defense, they are just plain bad, very bad. I catch their games channel flipping when I can. Cizano is scoring a bunch but is pretty bad at defense and does not rebound worth a damn for a gal who seems to be able to position and impose herself when she wants to score. They are still likely a March team with seven Big 10 teams in if you go by NCAA NET.
No I didn't go to the game. They only let about 30 privileged people in. They panicked worse over the weather today than they have over covid. I have a 4 wheel drive truck and I went all over the place today. But the leaders and powers that be around here just dont know how to deal with cold weather. The ice and snow goes anywhere from 100 to 175 miles south of here. Breaking lifetime records all over the place.
A carefully selected elite cadre of 30 fans was all part of Mulkey's clever plan to get in Colliers head.
If Lexi would have made ONE more 3-pointer, she would have tied Texas's team score this weekend.
Monday Randoms:
Stanford is at Oregon at 600 on ESPN2
The other HS gal I know of who enrolled early, guard Katie Borowicz, has been playing 10 minutes a game which really surprises me even though the Gophers haven't played well at all this season. Injuries and a team not going anywhere have given her some minutes. Had 4 assists and 3 rebounds yesterday in 11 minutes. Not bad for a HS kid.
Brenda Frese won her 500 career game over the weekend. 500–130 (.794)! Since joining the Big 10 she is sporting a Kim Mulkey like winning percentage of 194–29 (.870). Seems a LONG time ago that she was the assistant driving all the way to Roseau to recruit Megan Taylor.
Weird standings in Big 10. The Brendas at 10-1, The Covided Wolverines at 6-1 and Hoosiers at 11-2.

Big 12 N.E.T. Rankings update: Baylor #4, West Virginia #22, Okie State #28, Texas #29, ISU #32.
From NCAA's website, here's the first early reveal of the top seeds in the NCAA tournament by the selection committee.
My comment:
For Big12, Baylor is #10 overall in the ranking and the third seed in a region (about right) and West Virginia is #14 overall and the fourth seed in a region (kind of surprising).
By the way, Charlie Creme still has ISU as the #8 seed in his latest bracketology (facing Rutgers). I think ISU needs to do well in the rest Big12 regular season and the Big12 tournament in order to get a better seed (preferably the #6 seed).

The NCAA "big reveal" is lot less dramatic without all of those teams playing at home.
If you use NET as a guide for seeding we are currently #32. We look to be right on the 7/8 bubble. That will leave us playing a very similar strength team like Iowa or Texas although either of those are not likely opening round matchups. Who knows though, they have Baylor as #3 and NET has them at #4. I kinda think of the Bears as on the 2/3 bubble. Also WVU as a #4 seem a little generous, they seem more like a low #5. Maybe they are only going to use NET for the seeds lower than #4 after they apply their name test, eye tests and personal and league bias.
Latest AP poll has Baylor #7, WVU #19. Only OSU even among ORV. Woof.
