Overlapping with the men's game. I hope people that could go to the game don't stay home to watch the men on TV. That game is likely a lost cause and even if it is not, watching from home has no effect. Being in Foster can make a difference.

Aaliyah Matharu and KK Dean's were teammates at Florida. That will be a good matchup.

I know NCAA manages the gameday experience for the tournament, but it'd be cool if Baylor could manage to have a men's 1st half watch party either in or outside of Foster.

2 of the same 3 refs who called the GCU game, including the bald one who missed numerous push offs by 23 and 24 on Friday

Abraham hurt. That forces Vonleh to be really careful defensively

To me we look like 5 players playing individual basketball.

Abraham back. We finally started dishing out as much physicality as OM and OM coach threw a tantrum. Still need to eliminate unforced turnovers.
BearTiger

OM should be ranked higher than #25, they are better than their ranking. They had a brutal schedule this year, USC-w, Uconn, SC-e, TX, LSU, Tenn, OK, etc. They are fast, physical, and play very good defense. They are battle tested and believe they can beat anyone. We will also need to match their physicality and play disciplined ball., limit turnovers.

I never thought 29 points would give us the lead at the half. Ole Miss had a lucky bank shot and some fortunate roll-ins or they'd have <20.

No 3 pointers made by either team.

Tied at 48 end of 3Q

I know I sound like a broken record, but Andrews needs to step it up.

Getting out hustled… down 6

Why the heck isn't Vonleh posted down low and touching the ball every trip down court?
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Team looks really gassed right now.
CHP Bear

Bummer, but she did throw up too hard. No touch on the ball.

Missed open layup.

We've missed a lot of those this year

Air ball 3 point attempt ended it.

Well we hung in, but no cigar.

We had a very off night shooting and way way too many turnovers to win.

How the heck did we lose this game? Sad way to go out for the seniors!

Heartbreaking loss.

missed layup and airballed that 3 sealed the loss
IowaBear

This game worried me because of how good the Rebs are defensively. It would be a flat out lie to say this season wasnt underachieving because not getting to the 2nd weekend is. But at the end of the day you win some and you lose some. Gotta take that next step as a program under CNC next season
