TE'A COOPER
vs Oklahoma on Feb 22, 2020
16 points. 4-8 3PT. 11 assists. 4 rebounds. 5 steals. 22 minutes.
When Te'a gets "hot" she is sure fun to watch. She is a dagger to the heart for the opposition. She started slow tonight, but once she "heated up"she couldn't be stopped. So wonderful to have her and Juicy as outside three point shooters. That twosome combination may be what we need to bring the National Championship trophy back home to Baylor again this year.

Her personal life shouldn't be something any of us have an opinion on. If she is happy, we should be happy - both on and off the court. Glad that she was so passionate about becoming a Lady Bear and that her season is shaping up as it has. She earned a ring last night...hopefully she gets two more before her time at Baylor is up.RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:She is a spectacular basketball player and a beautiful girl. Kinda sad she is engaged to a dude with five kids with five different women. Nobody deserves such baggage.OsoCoreyell said:

From a basketball standpoint, it looks like she is on top of her game right now!

Baylor post-game press conference:
Kim Mulkey statement
On what winning a Big 12 regular season championship means to transfer guard Te'a Cooper
"Well, I think Coop will tell you that she saw her good friend Chloe Jackson win a national championship with us last year, and Chloe was at two schools prior to us, and she saw Chloe move from a shooting guard to the point guard. Cooper was not going to be the point guard at South Carolina, and that's why she came to us. She thinks her best opportunity to play at the next level is with the ball in her hands, and I think that's why she came.
Of course, she wants to win, and South Carolina is good too. We had played them twice last year: once in the playoffs and once in the regular season. We're just grateful that she chose Baylor, and that she's fit right in with the rest of them."

WBB's Cooper Named to Lieberman Award Final Five
WACO, Texas Baylor graduate transfer point guard Te'a Cooper earned a spot on the WBCA's Nancy Lieberman Award "Final Five," announced Monday. The Lieberman Award honors the top point guard in the nation each year.
Cooper joins elite Baylor company by becoming the third Lady Bear to be named a Final Five member. Odyssey Sims, who went on to be Baylor's only winner of the award, was a finalist in 2014, while Alexis Jones was a finalist in 2017.
The Powder Springs, Ga., native ranks second on Baylor's team in scoring at 13.6 points per contest, leads the team in steals with 56 and averages 4.6 assists per contest. Cooper ranks 16th in the Big 12 in scoring average, third in the league in assists and sixth in the conference in steals.
She has added a deep threat for Baylor alongside senior Juicy Landrum with a team-leading 55 3-point field goals on a career-best .415 percentage from beyond the arc.
Cooper is also a finalist for the Dawn Staley Award, which honors the top point guard as well.
The presentation of the Lieberman Award will take place at ESPN's College Basketball Awards presented by Wendy's live from The Novo presented by Microsoft in downtown Los Angeles, Calif., on Friday April 10.
The other four finalists for the 2020 Nancy Lieberman Award are Crystal Dangerfield (Connecticut), 2019 winner Sabrina Ionescu (Oregon), Stella Johnson (Rider), and Tyasha Harris (South Carolina).

TE'A COOPER
2020 Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Year
Congratulations Te'a !
Pitiiful, mean-spirited and sad for whoever took the time to compile this.
Seriously. In the last few years, we've lost Mompremier, Chou, Morris, Scott-Grayson, DeCosta, and I'm sure some others I'm not thinking of. The most negative things I've seen any Baylor fan say about any of them was to question whether they made the wrong decision in light of actual or potential missed championships. I've never once seen anyone here say they were rooting for any of our former Lady Bears to fail.
This is just a sad mentality to have. Embarrassing.

A graduate transfer from South Carolina, Te'a Cooper earned her first national postseason award with the AP's Honorable Mention All-America nod.
Cooper led Baylor in total points with 408 averaging 13.6 per contest while adding 4.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game. She shot a career-best .415 from beyond the 3-point arc and led the Lady Bears with 56 treys made.

I just can't help but laugh... those fans are talking behind social media accounts and meanwhile Cooper is preparing to maybe go top 10 in the WNBA draft. I guarantee TC is unbothered.Bone Squad said:

"Te'a Cooper played for three different schools during her college basketball career, including Tennessee, South Carolina and Baylor. Cooper came to the Lady Bears as a graduate transfer, and the team welcomed her with open arms.
"I didn't have a typical four year college experience," Te'a Cooper said. "So just seeing all that I went through, and to still have a light at the end of the tunnel was a blessing for me, just having the opportunity and having them embrace me like they did."

She has a good shot to make the roster. Getting a shot with the right team makes all the difference. Their off guard who plays back up point opted out this season. The Sparks need a back up point.SABaylorFan said:
Congrats to Te'a
Cooper Signs with Los Angeles
I'm so happy to see Te'a get signed. I was saddened when the Phoenix Mercury cut her. I was looking forward to seeing her play with BG but I wish her the very best in LA.willtalk said:She has a good shot to make the roster. Getting a shot with the right team makes all the difference.

Cooper scored ten today in 19 minutes in the Sparks' win. Added three assists and a board
The Sparks seemed to play one of their worst games tonight, but are still 12-4 and Cooper played 23 minutes. She was their second-leading scorer with 12 and added three assists.
Cooper started tonight for the first time I'm aware of and played more minutes than any starter. She scored 15 and had three assists in the blowout win.
Cooper started again tonight and scored seven in 21 minutes.
It is going to be super interesting next year as many, like Cooper, have taken advantage of their opportunity and shown what they can do on the court. When some of the more veteran players who opted out return, there are going to be several on both sides of the situation who find themselves unexpectedly on the outside looking in.
Cheaper player would likely have the advantage, I imagine....
