Bu by 16. We play better than before, frustrating their big (Lee).

Watch out now! KST has won 2 of their last 4 games. They are in a major tussle to move up in the standings and finish 9th.

Hopefully Hannah Gusters will get an opportunity to go mano e mano against Big'un on the low block.

We haven't lost to KSU since 2004.The Lady Wildcats were loaded then including Ohlde(first round pick)Wecker(first round pick in 2005),Mahoney(3rd round pick)and Koehn(3 point shot conference leader).We were on the cusp of greatness.Sophia was a sophomore and Stephanie was a junior.Those were terrific games.You may recall that we finished the next season with a win in Indy.

My wife graduated from Kansas State, so I'm writing this post under duress.

Bill Parcells famously said you are what your record says you are. However, I humbly submit that the K-State team we will face tomorrow is not what their 2-12 conference record says they are.

They were ranked 4th in the Big 12 preseason coaches' poll. They had a 3 week layoff in January due to Covid, and then jumped immediately into conference play and struggled. If they had been practicing and playing consistently in January, they almost certainly would have won more games along the way. Their 2 wins came in the last 4 games as they're playing into game shape and gaining chemistry, and they haven't had any blowouts; we were the only team to beat them by more than 10 points, so they've been competitive in every game. Ayoka Lee is perhaps the best low post scoring threat in the conference, and Christiana Carr and Rachel Ranke are both excellent complements, both 6'1" and capable of stretching to the 3 point line. If Carr and Ranke have good shooting days, and Queen gets in foul trouble trying to guard Lee, we could be in for a dogfight. Keep in mind we were not sharp in Manhattan 3 weeks ago in our 64-52 win, and Carr did not play in that game.

I still expect the Lady Bears to win the game tomorrow, and expect the confetti to rain down in celebration of a Big 12 co-championship, but this game isn't the laydown that K-State's 2-12 record suggests.

They have led late in several games, but couldn't finish,

Polar bear. Do you think that KSU athletes may be distracted by the bright lights and intoxicating nightlife in the little apple?That could explain the lack of success.

Good point.
Although ....... we're in Waco, so ........ glass houses and all.

K St. has good athletes and a great post. I was not disparaging them. Just think we will handle the post better second time around.

Scrappy team who plays hard. I think they are well coached, just not enough talent to win against us. They are better I think than TCU, Tech and KU.

A little too much praise for Kansas State. The Baylor Lady Bears will defeat this opponent for the 36th consecutive time. This has been a lopsided series in favor of the Lady Bears for many years now. It won't chance with Kim Mulkey as head coach.

Respect thy opponent, especially when she is 6'6" and mopped the floor with you last game. I think we will do better against Lee, but I respect her ability.

Pride goes before....

Kim will not have the pride, however, and will both acknowledge and respect the strengths of KSU

85-49 FINAL

Please. Just stop posting silly stuff.

There would never be upsets if players read threads like this. Lol

And before anyone in the thread gets their undies in a wad, I'm just messing with ya. All of us are Lady Bear fans. I was just having fun with the fact it was reasonably predictable that we would win handily.

I kept waiting for our lead to get to 40. It never happened, but we were pretty close much of the second half.

Bench cleared and Mulkey had no intention of changing that.

Yep. And it was the right thing to do. A 35 point win was more than enough.

Queen's best game of the year by far. If she can play this way consistently, this team has a very good shot at getting to the FF.

Watching Queen play the way she did & without foul trouble was a beautiful thing!

Yes, I will give her the credit she is do for her play the last couple of games. The light has always been on....now its starting to look like someone is actually home.
