Thanks for sharing the team and individual statistics, Brian Ethridge. The highest winning % WBB head coaches at the Ferrell Center with 13 combined national championships. Great match-up tonight. It will be fun to watch.

Just win Lady Bears!



And my "Key of the Game"
-Cox, Jackson, and Landrum must all have a good shooting night from 15 - 20 ft

Jessica Morrey of KCEN-TV said in a love remote from the Ferrell Center during the 6 o'clock sports segment that Kim Mulkey has never lost more than 1 non-conference basketball game since coming to Baylor. Let's hope that streak continues tonight.

Couple of stats from KCEN

Baylor has never lost more than one non conference game under Mulley and they are 0-14 against #1 teams.

I expect actual attendance tonight to be above 10,000. We'll see how close the Baylor-UConn WBB game gets to maximum capacity.

Anyone know who is all sitting in the recruit section? Jordyn Oliver is the only one I recognize.

I'm wondering what a "love remote" is and whether it's legal in the state of Texas.

Geno's feet must be bothering him. He's wearing what look like hush puppies and walking a bit gingerly out of the locker room.

I love the back-to-back 3-point baskets by Juicy Landrum! Good start for the Lady Bears with a 12-8 lead at the 1st TV timeout.

Uconn not shooting well but we are only up by 3. We need to take charge and go on a run.
