I agree. The only time I heard them was for the game against, I think Georgetown. It didn't even sound like they were part of the team. Guess it also goes along with what was done with BaylorBears.com. That website to me is now worthless. Can't find anything there anymore when I want information or want to follow a game.Doug said:
First game I have been forced to listen to on the radio. This new crew is terrible. Kim has to really work on the radio broadcast. Very under par for a top program.
If this team shows up, UConn will blast them.wuzzy bear said:
There is no chemistry on this team...yet! Not really a bad loss. They looked out of sync, but you gotta have Cox and Brown in the game. If you are going to the big dance then you gotta play those from now on. If this were fottball she would have had to leave them in, but you can afford a loss like this to give the frosh experience against a good team. And let's face it that Coffee and Smith were deadly and would not have mattered who you put on them. We do have trouble against a good 3 pt shooting team though but we should not because we can afford to go guard them with Brown and Cox in the lane. Not enough hustle, etc. They will get better and learn from this. Expect a helluva game vs. UCONN.
I never had a problem with either. Rick was knowledgeable and had real emotion and concern for the team. It seemed to be more than a job to him.GarlandBear84 said:
Many people used to complain about Rick and Lori (especially), but boy do I miss them.

Cost cutting the reason? I know that Rick wanted to retire, but that doesn't explain the poor replacements and the website..
If the trend continues, those who always complained about John Morris will wish they hadn't got what they wanted since he is retiring. Who knows what we will end up with next year.

Doubt it, but it really doesn't matter. The committee never gave Baylor any props even when they were in the top four. I would bet however, that if it was Notre Dame that had lost today to Stanford that they would drop no more than 1 or 2 slots. Just the way it works. But at this point it doesn't matter where they are ranked. Too early in the season to matter. What matters is how they play from this point forward. (Might also add that SDSU only lost to Oregon by 8.)Brian Ethridge said:If this team shows up, UConn will blast them.wuzzy bear said:

Something doesn't seem right currently. SDSU showed the kinks in the armor. Now a better and more athletic team in Stanford drove the nail home. Will the Lady Bears fall out of the top 10?
I feel like a lot of the problems stem from not having a true PG. Well coached teams are able to exploit that into turnovers, and it contributes to removing Brown and Cox from the game. It happened against Arizona State and then again today. Early turnovers keep us out of rhythm and turn into easy buckets the other way. Before we know it we are down. We came back against Arizona State because we have superior athletes, but we got too far down this time. With Morris this game would've been a clean win in my opinion.Brian Ethridge said:If this team shows up, UConn will blast them.wuzzy bear said:

Shooting 30% in the first half would have won it as well.BUgolfbear said:
The reason we lost is the same reason we lost every March for last 6 years. Talented team shots 3s always will beat in a big game on road or netural, which is NCAA. Today we actually shot 7 3s, high for us, made 3. Stanford makes 13, beats us by 5. Do the math.
Same story every March. We overwhelm less talented teams, see Big 12, will get beat in the end of the year by talented teams who can shoot the 3.
Either KM can't see this or doesn't care. Both are concerning.
I know Lori caught flack for a statement she put out by members during all the mess, but I don't think I saw any on her work with the Lady Bears.GarlandBear84 said:
There have been hundreds if not thousands of posts on this board and BFans over the last decade slamming Lori. I liked her.
You are not correct...you may think you are but you are not...we lost because our two all-American posts both had bad games today...we shot the ball poorly and we just stunk it up for a half....you can say that another team making threes beat us but if you really study the stats we beat ourselves by not making our shots we normally make and not playing hard or focused for one entire half...we still only lost by 5 on the road to a very good well coached team...PAC 12 really has our number. A lot of learning today by the freshman but am certainly disappointed with our leaders Cox and Brown....BUgolfbear said:

did you see how many inside shots we missed...we only had to make three more and we win...typically we will shoot much better than we did close to the basket. We also generated 20 FT attempts if we had started jacking threes we would not have had as many FT opportunities...we were 16-20. We also out rebounded them 43 -30 held them to under 39% FG. that means they took 30 threes and made 13 and shot 30 twos and made 10. we were clearly the dominate team inside but we just missed shots...I think we shot like 19% in the first half and 34% overall so we shot very well the second half if we do the same both half's we walk out with the win.GarlandBear84 said:
We shot 43% on treys, but horrible on all other shots the first half, so why not shoot more out there? It is very difficult to closely guard treys, but not so hard to pack the paint.
