Kalani Brown is playing like an All-American tonight with 20 points & 12 rebounds! A 10-point Baylor Lady Bears lead, and getting close to crunch time at the Ferrell Center in Waco.

Going to need to hit FTs in this one as UConn will foul. Only 9 team fouls for the Huskies now, Bears with 8

Relatively clean game as far as fouls in this physical affair.

Kim grabs the grandbaby for the interview, Cannon Fuller getting air time

Kim thinks the fans, no students, great for women's basketball

Challenged Kalani, kept her focused, motivated, too good.

Didi's defense on Samuelson was terrific,
