It's So Nice

Baylor is on a good run. Can they keep it up?

 

[SoonerNorm]

Dumb foul by Sims.

 

[brokebacksooner]

Did they really just say that?? "Let's keep Odyssey Sims on the floor". Evidently they don't care if she fouls.

 

[brokebacksooner]

Hey Norm; Sims has 7 turnovers. Would you bench her the rest of the game?

I think they meant that none of the stars should foul out because this game should be decided with both teams at full strength.

Sims grabs Dolson around the waist and throws her down. She should have been thrown out of the game for that.

 

[SoonerNorm]

Baylor played UCONN closer than I thought they could.

I think its safe to say Baylor is best team in the Big 12.

She's saying the womens game doesn't have enough stars as it is, so people tune in to see Sims and watch her play.

 

[brokebacksooner]

Sims - 4 of 25 (16%) 7 turnovers
Rest of Baylor 14 of 34 (41%) 10 turnovers

Once again I'll ask: Norm - Sims had 7 turnovers would you have benched her?

That philosophy gives the 'stars' free reign to foul as much and often as they like.

So; much like the NBA a called foul depends on who commits it... She didn't make that comment when Dolson or Stewart or Hartley committed their 3rd fouls and they are stars.

I don't think it was meant as a philosophy of any kind.

It would have been a shame if any of those girls fouled out. Much better game since no one fouled out.

 

[SoonerNorm]

I don't think there is any doubt Baylor is the front runner in the Big 12.

 

[sybarite]

UConn actually was a bit unglued for a while. Baylor was working hard.

Sims is good enough. I wish she would quit fouling so much. She is as good as there is without it. It cheapens her game.

Davis works.

UConn just had too much experience for Baylor to overcome. In crunch time, they made plays.

It would have been even more of a shame if they should have fouled out and didn't because of some double standard evidently some feel is needed to market the game.

Double standard on fouls? - check

Double standard on turnovers? - check

Good post.

I haven't seen OSU or West Virginia play yet, but from what I've seen it's not even close. I was hoping the rest of the league could pull Baylor back down to the pack but it doesn't look like it's going to happen this year.

Baylor also showed that you don't have to be taller to out rebound your opponent; they did end up tied in rebounds, but Baylor was ahead until the very end.

Robertson and Davis are fun to watch.

 

[got mulk??]

I would leave Odyssey on the court regardless how many turnovers or fouls she has as long as she can still go. She was off tonight, it happens when you face great coaches that form solid game plans. UCONN is a great defensive team, but so is Baylor. We played very well tonight with a very young team and opened some eyes around the nation. Say what u want to about Sims, but I bet you wish she was on your team!

Don't worry you will get to see her up close and personal this season and we all know what she is capable of doing at the LNC! Sic'em!!
