Smart move.

Lauren was back in a boot this morning as the rest of the team warmed up for the game.

Warrior that she is they may have tied the boot to her foot to keep her from trying to sneak into the game

She took it off for the game.

Will she be ready to go on the 30th?

Should be:

"She has been cleared to play," Head coach Kim Mulkey said. "But I'm not gonna play her till we get back from holidays. What good would that do? We're leaving. After the game tomorrow and they'll be off for a little while and come back and play Morehead State so hopefully she'll be ready to go and is in enough shape to where she feels like she can contribute, but she's been cleared to play."

By the way, I'll be there to watch both the men's and women's games that day. I wouldn't mind meeting up with anybody else that's going. That is, unless Coach Drew calls my number and needs me to log some minutes. I still have 4 years NCAA eligibility.

I will be there for the MBB game & probably for the Lady Bears as well. I'm looking forward to more Baylor basketball.

Sic 'em Bears!

"splg"? Extremely well played if done on purpose.

I don't think we are going to be able to count on Degrate much. She is slow and there' s a reason Kim didn't recruit her the 1st time. She is a sweet person and I hope she loves Baylor.

Lauren Cox vs UConn on Jan 9, 2020
16 points, 4 blocks, 4 assists & 6 rebounds
Played 39 minutes and 43 seconds

Lauren is the definition of a warrior. It's no coincidence that the last two games we've lost in the last 2 years were when she was unavailable to play for us. You cannot overstate her importance to this team...

---

Agreed, But we need Queen and Degrate to step up and earn some playing minutes because they are productive with those minutes because we cannot afford to have Lauren piling up 40 minutes every conference game !!
She should get maybe 30 minutes a game and be ready for the 40 she is probably going to have to play after the second round in the tournament

---

I feel about Queen the way I felt about Kristina Higgins and Sune Abuke in their early years. You know they had the talent, but they just didn't contribute much their first couple of years. My fear is Queen will leave, and IMHO she is more talented than either Kristina or Sune. They hung on and did great. With this being LC's last year and Gusters coming in next year, I hope she continues to develop and will start or rotate in for Nylssa and Hannah. If Bickle comes through, I fear Queen's chances shrink. I want them ALL to stay!

So which coach voted Oregon State #1...and did they not even check the scoresheet for Sunday's game?

I really hope Queen stays and I believe she will. I think she presses too hard at times. Her talent is obvious but she is still learning to let the game come to her. In addition to her physical talent she is also a very intelligent young lady, I fully expect her to grow and flourish at Baylor.

Kalani Brown started one game as a freshman, and averaged 14.4 minutes per game.

I understand that Gusters is 6'5" and is a great high school player. That said, I believe the starting job will be Queen's in '20-'21 - until the time CKM says that a freshman is going to take Queen's place.

Now, if a tall, skilled grad transfer comes in....

EVERY POSSESSION COUNTS
Lauren Cox dives for the ball in the 2nd half.
Baylor led at halftime 50-15.

Another quality game from Lauren Cox.
She was outstanding in the high post.

Three Big 12 women's basketball student-athletes have been named candidates for the 2019-20 Senior CLASS Award. Big 12 women's basketball representatives include Lauren Cox (Baylor), Peyton Williams (K-State) and Sug Sutton (Texas).

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Senior CLASS award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact on their communities. To be eligible for the award student-athletes must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence, including community, classroom, character and competition.

Both the men's and women's candidates will be narrowed to two fields of 10 finalists in February and will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed nationally to media, coaches and fans who will select one male and one female winner. The 2019-20 Senior CLASS Award women's winner will be recognized at the 2020 NCAA Women's Final Four in New Orleans.
