This is Louisville all over again, Schone Schimel part two.

Feels like msu played out of their minds.


This is the time of year to step it up. They did. We didn't.

Another easy championship for UCONN.

It's going to be wildily unpopular and you won't find many bigger mulk fans than me but this is underachieving.

Comparatively it's like being in the top 3 all year and getting bounced in the round of 32 on the men's side.

There's really no reason not to make the final four with what we have on the team.

Way, way more disappointing than the men and it isn't even close.

Soooo people just seem to have career games against Baylor sports at the worst time.

Sigh

There are a couple of people on this team that didn't step up on offense or defense.

Sad for Nina.

Final Four in your backyard and you lay and egg like that. Coaches never made the adjustments.

The PGs lost her dad 3 years ago to the day.

She played for him.

Chou played awesome defense. Look forward to watching her in the future.

If I could like this 100 times I would. That's on Mulkey. Sorry... it's true.

Fwiw this was carbon copy of WV and UT losses

Quicker Miss St guard play and hot 3 point shooters

Too many turnovers again

Gotta agree with this. I am also a huge Mulkey fan but we got beat tonight basically by a 4' guard. Never controlled her. Very disappointing loss. 4 times in a row now.

All things considered it's virtually unacceptable. That said, no one cares so on to next year and another big 12 regular season title.

A hate to say it but it's true: we rely too much on the post. It's not crap luck that we haven't gotten to the final four in four years. It's bad player development. Since Griner was here, we have continued to see us become reliant on paint play. When that get neutralized via single team coverage and the other team and can play good man coverage, we freak out.

We have to have guards that can fill it up from deep. Without it, we won't ever sniff another championship.
the more we learn about basketball math and probability, the more we are seeing that post play is a poor offensive option, right up there with long 2s and contested midrange shots.

open 3s and dunks/lay-ups should be the focus.

Lack of Elite level PG killed both MBB and WBB seasons.

Oh well. Bummer end to both basketball seasons. As Baylor fans it seems to be our lot in life. Not really but sometimes it feels like it.

Either Wallace was distracted by dad there or possibly a woman thing

Sorry but I coached girls/women 10 years and you just have days like this

This was a great team this year

Gotta support them and Mulkey

Sad ending

Sad for the girls, but not surprised. To me, it has been apparent for a couple of months that this team had a fatal flaw to win a championship which is lack of elite guard play. There is not an athlete on campus that puts out more effort and has more grit than Kristy Wallace. And she is a damn good player. But she may think like a PG guard from a mental perspective but athletically she was used and abused tonight. Alexis Jones is a 2 guard but did her best. We lose despite shooting a ridiculously high FG%. But that is what happens when you lose the turnover margin that wide plus was too damn slow on D to prevent a 5 foot 2 guard from getting clean shot after clean shot.

Really, Kim Mulkey's teams are becoming just like Bill Self's. And hey that is not bad. 99% of the programs in the country would take that. It just may not get Kim many or any more championships.

Sic Em.

We have 4 guards coming in next year. Hopefully one of them can be elite..

On the women's side really nothing matters until the sweet 16. To have the kind of teams we have had and not played for a championship in the last 4 seasons is near criminal. Hanging EE banners means next to nothing and I know how weird it is to complain about that.

It's fine if you don't care about the results in the tournament and are ok with all the big 12 banners.

I don't suppose it matters much. Add another banner in Storrs.
