Lol. This is why people don't respect the women's game. We are shooting like 10% on those midrange shots. WVU is litrally giving it to us and we can't do anything with it.

Pathetic. What was that pass? Better make a run right now. If this is 10 or more headed into the fourth then it won't happen.

Lots of time, but WVU is flat whooping us so far. They have simply played a lot better than we have. Didn't see this coming.

Mompremier is really struggling tonight.

Goodness. Another turnover. We are mentally pressing something fierce. Over rotating, forcing it into bad spots, throwing it out of bounds on the feeds. Ugh.

It is what Oregon State did last year. What A&M did in the Elite 8 to Griner. The way to beat Baylor is to get hot from 3 and pack it into the paint it seems.

Yep, WVU is definitely the better team so far. We're all out of control. Except Davis. We haven't spent much time this season down by 15, so we'll see what this team is made of tonight.

Cox just lost her man and gave up another 3.

WVU just on fire and we can't hold onto the damn ball. Embarassing. We just tried to feed Mompremier. They double before the ball even gets there and Chou is wide open but no one even looks that way. We are trying too hard.

Nothing Baylor can do about that. WVU is just hot from 3.

What was that shot by Wallace? Good god. She is panicking.

WVU drains a 3 at the buzzer. 10/24 from 3. They average 6.5 a game.

Welp. Down 21. Sad to lose this way. Guess it was bound to happen sometime.

This team has no chance at a final four without Alexis Jones and probably less than a 50% with her. I give them a 80% chance at a sweet 16 and no game after that better than a 50% chance tops.

We are too one dimensional. I also do not think we make the Final Four unless we get a lucky draw. This is just like Oregon State last year. Outhustled against a team with a consistent outside threat and strong enough in the paint to slow us down. We panic and turn it over a bunch. So disappointed.

100% at a Sweet 16, this is WBB.

I'm not giving up on this team yet, and certainly not for the NCAA Tournament. Hopefully Jones is healthy for the NCAA. It's certainly a deep hole to dig out of tonight.

Don't count this team out at all. We are missing our best player and Kim will openly admit that she doesn't make a big deal about conference tournaments. Obviously we want to win but this but this doesn't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things. We are the 2nd best team in the country and will play like it come tournament time.
