Tough gritty win for Baylor against a very good team. I hope they can repeat tomorrow. I think they have a real chance.

No matter what happens in the championship game or the NCAAs, Nicki has done a fantastic job with this team. She's had them playing above their talent level on paper all year long, which is the mark of an excellent coach.

Terrible mistakes by the officials. All favoring OSU.


To be fair, not letting the cowgirls advance the throw in after their time out was in BU's favor. And two big pokettes fouled out.

Officials for wbb in big xii just seem inconsistent.

Fair enough.

All that matters in the end is the final score. Hopefully we will have balanced officiating tomorrow.

I believe Heard's parting shot hurled at the ref pretty much summed up how everyone felt about the officiating, though made her look like a sore loser. BTW....can you get T'd up if you've already fouled out?

Not calling a T on Heard after she fouled out was certainly in OSU's favor.

i thought they sucked both ways.

Bella's last foul was a horrible call. Even announcers said so. They fouled her out with 7+ min in the game

And Vonleh's last "floul" against Crooks the day before was pretty bad. Crooks jumped right into her. Kind of a mutual bounce from dual momentum.

Crooks seems to present a problem for officiating crews.
