Well it's almost time for their first meeting of the year. How do you think the OU ladies will do? I see it going three ways..OU playing their best game and Baylor playing not so good then OU has at least a chance. OU playing their best Baylor playing their avg game, Baylor wins by 12-17 points. OU playing their avg game Baylor playing their best..Baylor names the score. Hate to say it but I just can't see OU having any chance to win this one.
OU at Baylor
- Thread starter inoref
- Start date
Baylor has won its conference games by:
30
47
35
36
23
49
26
6
42
In the six-point loss to West Virginia in Waco, WV shot about as well as Baylor and battled Baylor on the boards. Wallace, Prince, and Cox did not have good days. Among the Baylor guards, only Jones had a good day.
TCU in Waco was the next closest, and both teams had 48 rebounds. Baylor shot better and got fouled less.
I think we can, can being the operative word, make a game of it---if we guard the Baylor guards, work the boards, and use our posts to match up as well as they can against the onslaught of Baylor posts. If we are withing five or ten on the boards, we can make it close.
We cannot do what we often do against a good team---play like the game is lost before we begin. We start afraid and let them get a big lead. Then, we find that if we work hard, we can crawl back into the game.
Baylor is clearly #2. But, we can play with them if we actually come to play. Make Baylor work for shots and on defense. Don't try to go to the post on every play.

Yes, and Sulkey would rather beat OU/TX more than anyone in conference so she'll be whipped into a frenzy for those games. She wants to win them all but I think beating OU/TX is just a little more important for her.

MP will be very limited and might not play at all with a high ankle sprain. She sat out the KSU game. Game could be close if Brown and Cox get into foul trouble. I prefer Cox to play the high post in that she has a great outside shot and can deliver good high low passes. Prince is the key coming off a great game at KSU. She also has ability to defend the three. Looking forward to her guarding Manning or Little.

It seems to me what has made Baylor so incredibly tough, has been the improvement of Prince.
And Brown, but that was expected.
I think the player that can get rattled in games like these can be Ortiz. And Gioya can try to do way too much.
Gabbi hits big shots in these games, but her tempo sends us off the cliff against the athletic teams. She has to focus on Tempo, and control. If she can do that, I think the game will be good.
Gabbi is the key. I think Maddie, Peyton, Vivi will do fine- there will be tougher shots this game, probably a few more turnovers overall- but that is expected and the same goes for Baylor as well. We won't be winning the rebounding battle, but I don't think we get completely blown out on rebounding either. I think we are the second best team in this conference and we are just now starting to come together, I think that if we play well, we have a style of play that can beat them- But we have to knock down shots. And Gabbi has to play under control- if we do that it will be a good game.

In the B12, any team can be beaten at any time. Although, at home we are verrrrry tough. This game will have tons of great matchups especially on the defensive end.

Those teams provide the best competition in the conference. I imagine that SC would LOVE to beat BU/UT more over TCU/KU.
5-11 Jr G Kristy Wallace 6.38 ppg, 3.14 reb, 29 steals, 36.73 From three
6-1 Sr G Alexis Prince 11.29 ppg, 5.62 reb 38.03 from three
5-9 Sr G Alexis Jones 14.47 ppg, 5.05 reb, 29 steals, 43.12 from three
5-11 Sr C Nina Davis 11.67 ppg, 4.81 reb, 23 steals
6-7 Soph C Kalani Brown 13.81 ppg, 8.24 reb, 44 blocks
6-4 Soph C Beatrice Mompremier 9.40 ppg, 7.00 reb, 37 blocks
6-4 Fr F Lauren Cox 9.67 ppg, 4.86 reb 37 blocks
6-1 Fr G Natalie Chou 4.33 ppg, 37.78 from three
6-2 Jr F Dekelya Cohen 3.16 ppg, 3.74 reb
6-2 Sr C Khadijah Cave 7.11 ppg, 4.16 reb
Baylor is #1 in:
---scoring offense
---scoring margin
---field goal percentage defense
---rebound margin
---assist/turnover ratio
They are #3 in field goal percentage.
If you shoot well, don't allow the other team to shoot well, have few turnovers, and dominate in rebounds, you might win a game here or there. They are only #205 in free throw percentage, and are tied for #180 in the number of three pointers made per game. When you score every time down the court, do you need to shoot threes?
Last year, Baylor won by ten in Waco and by eight in Norman. They didn't blow us out. They appear to be better. So are we.
I kind of wish that this was after about four or five more games. Now that Maddie has begun to take the lead, this team is finding out what it can do. Maddie is the only player we have that can score from anywhere, and she opens up opportunities for everyone else when she decides to shoot. Gioya seemed to get what was available and take advantage of it. Gabbi is shooting well again. Peyton struggled, but not because the opportunities weren't there. It also opened up the post a bit, and Vivi was not so likely to lose it trying to dribble in the middle.
Just do what you have learned to do, and this could be interesting. If we play smart, this will be close. If not, we will lose by twenty.
Maddie is a bit of a matchup problem. Does everyone have a 6-2 shooting guard to put on her?

Brown and Cox are really, really tough.....ViVi has to play tough....And hopefully, not get into foul trouble. It will depend how the refs are going to call this game...Let them play, or call every ticky tac foul? Just hope the refs are intimidated...

The last time I posted that I was nervous, we won.
I'm REALLY Nervous about Sunday. We will have to be flawless, mean, relentless, quick, tough and a bunch of mad-assed b**ches to win this game.
