Another reason to be thankful for leaving the Big XII. The semi-finals of the Big XII tournament are on EPSN+. I will be able to see it but a lot of people won't. Browsing through the listings, the Big XII is the only Power 5 conference that has the rest of their conference tournament games on ESPN+. I'm sorry, but that is a great big FU to the Big XII women's basketball fans. Shame on ESPN and the Big XII.

Some of the TV problems are self inflicted. With all the other Men’s conference championships going on this weekend there aren’t enough channels to get the women on. Should have played last weekend like the rest of the P5 conferences.
Too much Nylassa Smith. She is just to big and athletic for us..a bad matchup for us with our lack of size. Now we have to hope Bickle didn’t cheap shot Skylar into an ACL tear.
Bickle appears to be a real a**.
I would love to know what was going on between Jennie and Nicki and the refs during the time they were reviewing the play in which Vann was injured.
I never imagined a day that I would dislike a coach in the women's game as much as I disliked Kim Mulkey. Enter Nicki Collen... same scowl combined with an amazingly LESS likable personality. Would be curious to know what that conversation between she and Jennie was late in the game.
I thought I noticed it live and confirmed it on the highlights - at around the 3:20 mark Jennie is telling the official "Don't touch me. Don't touch me." Couldn't tell what Collen was saying to her as she walked over, but it looked like an assistant pulled her away. Not a fan.
I went to the replay link and could not determine what she was saying. I then went to ESPN+ to rewatch the entire incident. What I saw that I hadn't in the game was that when Jennie ran out to check on Skylar, she pulled a couple of Baylor players out of her way to get to Vann. I don't know if that had anything to do with what the coaches were arguing about. You may be right that Jenni told the refs not to touch her, I don't know. It also looked like she was questioning them about ONE ref or more blaming her for something or threatening her with some type of penalty. She had her hands up like she was going "me?" while she replied.
Pretty sure she and Nicki had some kind of words. Just weird.
And Bickell ran over to check on and/or apologize to Vann sometime during this..maybe when teams went back to the floor.
Oh well, unless someone gets the inside scoop, guess I will be left with wondering what all transpired
