On a positive note, Egbo needs 11 points to be our 39th 1000th Career point scorer!

---

That's great news. She is huge in our potential success this year.

---

I thought Egbo was looking great in recent games: solid contributions on both sides, fewer fouls. Love to see her improve. She has much talent & potential.

Thanks for sharing. That's a great clip.

Criticizing the work CNC has done to this point doesn't make one a hater. Just a realist. She has the pressure to preform with a solid group of players. The players she is putting on the court are 2x as good as Kansas' roster. That game should not be close. She can implement her system, but she has to work with what she has. She isn't doing a good job of that yet.

---

With the exception of Smith, Kim didn't leave a boat load of elite players or a core as strong as previous teams. She knew there would be a dramatic drop off because the talent level is not where it use to be.

I think Nicki is doing the best she can given the circumstances she walked into. She has gotten more out of Sarah Andrews than the last staff ever could.

---

She was playing behind talented seniors in moon, carrington and Richards! Obviously she wasn't going to get much playing time!

---

The problem was that she (along with Jordan Oliver) was not given much playing time even during blowouts last year. When we needed her when Didi went down, the backup was not nearly ready for prime time. I have never understood the reasoning why Richards and Ursin were kept in games that midway through the 4th quarter were decided and our backups for Richards and Ursin were given little playing time to gain game experience against P5 teams. They said yesterday she averaged 11 minutes a game last year. But that was skewed because of significantly more games against the sisters of the poor and not much once the conference season started. If she had had more experience against quality teams, we might just have gotten past UConn. But, that is conjecture.

Sorry, my oversight! I was used to the "Quote and Reply" form that includes the text of the referenced post rather than the brief "Reply" form that doesn't.

No worries!

Thanks for posting this. Other than the obvious clutch performance in the last minute, what stands out to me, is Egbo's excitement and spirit captured in the video. Queen is still in it to win it.

We said this last year, if Egbo can stabilize her game the last half of the season it would open up so many things for Smith and our talented shooters. Not many opponents can out-jump the Queen, she has great hops. Consistently blocking out on the defensive boards would result in transition points.

This team has a whole whole lot of talent. Big week this week. Should beat OSU at home on Wednesday, and would love to pick up a win against ISU at home on Sunday. Win those two, the Bears are back in the thick of it.

I noticed Queen's reaction too. Very encouraging. Her last few games give me hope she is stepping up again like later in last season. Agree with your other thoughts too. If we can get 2 W's this week, we should be in the thick of it. Just need to get J. Lewis going again and find a way to get Kamaria positively involved even if just for rest. Was good to see Jaden have some good minutes. Hope she can build on that and will take open.shots when they present themselves.

Great clip for sure! You know we were scoreless from the 3:59 mark to about the :12 mark, when Asberry hit the 3 to pull us within 1...After the steal and the foul, Asberry hit both free throws to put us up 1..They missed their final shot, and as Frank Fallon always loved saying..."This One Belongs to The Baylor Bears!" Exciting game, and CLUTCH shooting by Asberry!

A common complaint and criticism of all coaches not just Kim... however that is just the way it is and always will be...you have to keep your kids sharp and ready to go...I thought Kim worked extremely hard to make sure kids were not overplayed...see her average minutes per game for major starters usually down around 30 minutes a game or fewer. Checkout the average playing times this year for our Lady Bears you will find our starters playing heavy minutes and our subs playing very little despite a limited bench. all coaches are trying to win first, and they have to keep their top kids ready to play. I watched the LSU game yesterday before our game and they beat Vanderbilt fairly easily. She cleared the bench in the last few minutes of the game and in her interview, she was griping about the subs allowing Vandy to go on a 7-0 run to close out the game last 2 minutes or so and close a 25-point lead to 18... classic Kim. Those girls on the end of bench need to make the most of their time no matter how limited. You also need to remember that COVID cut short the time Kim and other coaches were able to work with their new ones before the season began.

Matt has been gone what two full years? I am sure Mulkey chatter will die down at that stage. What KM does is also a little more interesting in that she is coaching another D-1 Power 5 team that is slightly ahead of in the polls and we could potentially play in the tourney. She additionally coaches two of our former players, and for a while a third in Ursin, one of our most popular players ever. I was mainly answering the prior post who seems to think it odd there would be interest in a former coach. I think it would be odd not to. Care to count the Art Briles posts since he left. But, that, like Mulkey is a situation that sets itself apart from the standard former coach situation. I agree.

Speaking of the best head coach in Baylor history...............................where is Coach Art Briles these days?

Probably playing a round of 18 holes and counting his 20M.

I agree on the WBB coach, but that is not who I was referring to. Since Briles was brought into the conversation, that opened it up to other sports besides football and WBB. If its still not transparent, I was talking about Drew.
