I also love rewatching this game!



This team we had that year was so stacked on paper! I guess our chemistry wasn't as great on that team.
We had Kalani Brown, Nina Davis, Alexis prince, Alexis Jones, kristy Wallace, Beatrice mompremier, Lauren Cox, Juicy Landrum, and dekeiya Cohen! Lots of great players!

If I'm not mistaken, we had to play Mississippi State this season. Unfortunately, that team was just as talented as we were. Lots of great Baylor teams were stopped by squads of equal talent

2016 and 2017 were two of the rare instances where KM was outcoached by a lesser talented team.

In 2017, Vic figured out that he could swing Itty Bitty from corner to corner along the baseline and Kristi Wallace couldn't keep up. However, before that happened, with the game tied and 3 seconds left in regulation, we had an inbounds play under our basket. Kalani had been dominating McCowan all night long, and we often had success on running an inbound where Kalani broke free under the basket for an easy layup. But KM set up Kalani too far out at the high post, and McCowan was able to push her away from the low block. We didn't get a good shot off (Alexis Jones I think) and went to OT. Ran out of gas and lost. UConn approached their semi against MissSt much like Michigan approached TCU this year. Played very disinterested and lost. MissSt had no chance against SCar.


In 2016 Scott Rueck at OreSt figured out to double Nina Davis and leave Niya Johnson alone and dare her to shoot. That, plus liberal use of uncalled moving screens, kept us out of the FF that year.

I attended the 2017 game in OKC.We had the more talented team and missed many opportunities to pull ahead.As mentioned above the MSU point guard played well,perhaps the best game of her career.And,Our guards turned it over many times plus Beatrice played poorly.

Mississippi State beat us in the next game.

Kristy Wallace had the worst game of her career that game. She had like 7 turnovers that game. I felt bad for her

Yup

A friend who doesn't watch the team as regularly as I do texted me during that game: "Is Wallace always this bad?" I explained to him that "no, she is one of the best in the conference, if not the country, in assist-to-turnover ratio."

She was just way off that night, and unfortunately, it happened at the worst possible time.

Double Yup.It was hard to believe.
