Gameday Thread: No. 21 Baylor WBB Hosts Oklahoma State

March 3, 2024

WACO, Texas – The No. 21 Baylor women’s basketball team closes the regular season on Sunday when it hosts Oklahoma State.

Tip-off is set for 11 a.m. CT and airs nationally on ESPN 2 with Brenda VanLengen and Andrea Lloyd on the call. A live radio broadcast will be available on ESPN Central Texas (1660 AM/92.3 FM) and live in-game updates will be provided via Twitter and live stats.

The program’s seniors will be recognized in a pregame ceremony and fans are encouraged to be in their seats by 10:30 a.m.

STARTING FIVE

Sunday’s nationally televised broadcast marks the eighth time the Bears will be featured on the big screen this season. The Bears are 5-2 in nationally televised games in 2023-24.

In Baylor’s win at Cincinnati on Tuesday, the Bears shot over 40% from the field for the fourth-straight game. Baylor is 10-1 in league play, and 19-1 overall, when shooting at least 40% from the floor.

The Bears have held their opponent to below 20% shooting from behind the 3-point arc for three-straight games. Baylor ranks eighth in the country, and first in the Big 12, in three-point percentage defense (25.7).

In her first 46 games as a Bear, Jana Van Gytenbeek turned in just three double-figure scoring performances, and in her last seven games, she has finished in double figures five times, including three-straight headed into Sunday.

A win over Oklahoma State on Sunday grants Baylor the No. 5 seed in the upcoming Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship in Kansas City. Iowa State earns the four seed after a win at home against Cincinnati on Saturday as the Cyclones have the head-to-head advantage over the Bears.

SCOUTING THE SERIES WITH OKLAHOMA STATE

Baylor leads the all-time series against the Cowgirls, 49-13, and the Bears are 26-2 in Waco. Sunday’s meeting marks the fifth and final two-game series for the Bears this season. Baylor swept the series against Houston and West Virginia while splitting with Kansas and Texas.

Oklahoma State swept the two-game series last season, putting up 70-plus points in both contests. Prior to the pair of losses last season, Baylor won 13-straight games against the Cowgirls. The Bears have won 28 of the last 30 dating back to the 2009-10 campaign.

Nope. It's zone defense.

I always give Nicki grief for looking like she's dressed for a Starbucks and Target run after the game, but the OkSt coach looks like she just rolled out of bed and is running late for her Pilates class.

That's pretty much the trend for female coaches these days. With the exception being those who dress like their women's Bible Study made them late for an insurrection.

Sorry, I can't envision the picture you tried to paint in the last sentence.

I do feel, when run appropriately, and with appropriate players/talent on the floor that CNC's system can work. I think there is work to be done in the offseason to address the height issue and getting a strong ball handling point guard. Walker's height has many of her passes getting deflected. We need someone who we can trust with the ball in their hands. Also a few key outside shooters would be nice. But I see glimpses of what can work. We're just missing a few glaring pieces for a possible deep run. But glad the seniors had a great final game! Now onto the two tournaments!

I was thinking today about how unstoppable we would be with a Gusters-type post and a year of solid development and improvement from Lety.

Every once in a while the defense switches like they are supposed to and it's fluid and just nice/effective. I still don't like our outside shooting, though it is getting better. And we'll get beat down low more times than not. But I see the vision. Just have to get the right style of players.
