7,000 plus in the stands.
Great crowd.

that speaks really well for our bench. They played the entire 4th quarter and 2plus minutes of the 3rd vs.the WVU starters. Juicy came in for just the last 1-2 min of the game for JO. Really good experience for our bench and really proud of this team. We are an outstanding team. Our D is fantastic. And we beat them without LC, Nalyssa, or T'ea having big offensive games. Loved what I saw from Moon tonight. Her D is great and I hope this really gives her the confidence to be a regular offensive weapon in future games.

Our Bench is AWESOME!

That performance tonight was just domination! Bet WVa couldn't wait to get out of Waco

Anyone know our last home loss off the top of their head... ??

Texas in 2017. West Virginia and UConn in 2014 are the only other home losses this decade.

Anyone know where I can find the post game interviews?

Interesting game tonight. Even though we won by 40, I thought they Lady Bears could have played even better. Cox couldn't hit the broad side of a barn tonight but she rebounded so well, I can live with that. She also had two or three tipped balls that created several second chance points. If Moon plays half as well the rest of the season as she played tonight, her and Queen coming off the bench? Impressive. You could tell that Moon was in rhythm tonight. The ball just looked effortless coming off her hand. You can tell that the game has slowed down for her this year. She also played terrific defense.

Thanks Slime! Great seeing you as always!
Do you have the link for Carey's post game?

IIRC, they said Moon had a career high in this game.

Hey Scotty, it's a palindrome! 62-26.

When I saw the palindrome tonight I almost posted that we had one. Think we lead the nation in palindromes?

Always great to see you, bowdedg! P.S. Thanks for the look at the championship ring replica. The TTT inscription was unique.

Still looking for the Mike Carey video. In the meantime, here are some written quotes:

WEST VIRGINIA HEAD COACH MIKE CAREY
Opening statement
"I really don't have a lot to say. Baylor has a great team and they played five times harder than we did. That's two games in a row people have played harder than us. We have no discipline right now. I was just in the locker room telling them how important discipline is. We have to get discipline back into the program. We have no discipline. That's my fault. I'll get the discipline back. Bad shots, don't reverse the ball and we have people that are trying to do too many one-on-one's. Bad shots lead to layups on the other end. Baylor has a great team."

On the discipline issue being new
"It's just the last two games. I don't know what it is. We played a little bit harder this game than we did against Oklahoma, but we don't have any discipline. I don't blame that on the players. If there are no consequences, they're not going to do it. So there's going to start being some consequences."

On playing against DiDi Richards and the Baylor defense
"She's a great defensive player, but here's an idea: come off a pick. Set up a pick. Give a ball fake and don't try to shoot over her. Get in the lane and if somebody helps, kick the ball out. There's a lot of things you can do. Get an offensive rebound or a steal. There's a lot of stuff, but you have to use picks."

I understand his frustration. The Lady Bears can do that to you. But there was not a team in America that could have hung with our ladies last night, discipline or not.

The West Virginia Mountaineers = Donald Cerrone.

The Baylor Lady Bears = Conor McGregor.

What an awesome game and performance by our Lady Bears!

"We have no discipline right now," said West Virginia coach Mike Carey, who spent an extended time in the locker room with his team after the game expressing that message.

"Bad shots, don't reverse the ball, don't move it, we've got people who are too much going 1-on-1. Bad shot leads to the layup on the other end."

I'm pretty sure we at least lead the nation in posting about palindromes.

Did anyone see a box score? To me it seemed like West Virginia scored more three point baskets than two pointers. Is that true?

According to Baylor's box score, they had 7 of 10 3 pointers and 17 of 65 field goals. That means they had 10 2 pointers. Close, but still fewer.

They hit 7 of 28 three-pointers. Yes, they had ten two-point FGs, several of which came in the fourth quarter.

Obviously, I goofed. 25% is a far cry from 70%.

It will be interesting to see how this extraordinary group of athletes respond to the pressure that defending champions......

---

I always prefer "reigning" National Champions over "defending" National Champions.

I heard Geno tell his players after they won their last NC: "you are defending nothing. Nobody is going to come in here and steal that trophy from you". Meaning, what is done is done and you now have to look at winning another one not "defending" the last one.

Good point. I think people just naturally use the terms interchangeably without realizing they don't mean the same thing.

Anyone have a link to a free replay? Thanks!
