They came out slow, settled down after a miserable first quarter and outscored UConn the rest of the way on the road. Why wouldn't they walk out thinking that they can beat them should they play again?

That's fine. Like I said. I'm sure they felt good about their chances today. Remember the Mike Tyson quote. Something like "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" The first quarter was that "punch"

In a rescheduled game tonight, Missouri whipped up on Arkansas by 26 on the road. If we turn the ball over too much at Missouri we will get beat.

True, but the difference is that whereas UConn usually follows that initial punch with a total knockout and a third round decision, Louisville stayed with them...unlike what happened to SC.

Two years ago, I'm sure everyone already lost the game before they stepped on the court vs UConn. I think they don't have that same aura this year, so a title isn't in the bag for them just yet this year.

They shut down Monk and Cosper after they had career games vs. Tennessee.

Mizzou on the road will be tough, as long as their posts don't get in foul trouble.

Dont these coaches tell their teams that the first 2 to 3 mins of the game are critical against Uconn? I mean really. If you dont get stop score stops against them and they go up 6 to 8 pts on you, your toast. They will not relinquish that lead to you. They play too good of defense for you to try to mount a comeback so you better start out ahead. They are told to get KLS open and she lets it fly. Its not hard to see that..jeessshh

Think about how Miss St. won last season. They got out to a huge lead on UConn and it still took them til OT to win & it still took a buzzer beater to do that. They force you to come ready to play otherwise you may miss the opportunity to have a decent showing.

In general, you need a career night from one of your guards, great play by all of your guards, as well as good defense to beat UConn. At least that's been the case over the last 10 years. That's the formula and everyone knows it. Most people just don't have the ability to do all three at once or all three for 40 minutes. Your chances are much better if you can get UConn to play over 40 minutes.

I feel like an idiot. I turned it off after the 1st quarter when it looked like another UCon clinic. Apparently I missed a game.

Yes and no. Drey Mingo was granted a sixth year in order to use up her fourth year of eligibility, but it had nothing to do with her battle with meningitis and subsequent hearing loss. The NCAA allows a student athlete five years in order to play four. The clock starts ticking in the fall of freshman year.

Year #1: 2007-2008. She played at the University of Maryland.

Year #2: 2008-2009. She played at the University of Maryland.

Year #3: 2009-2010. She transferred to Purdue and was required to sit out a year under NCAA regulations.

Year #4: 2010-2011. She played at Purdue. She contracted meningitis and missed four games while hospitalized, but returned to the team and competed in 29 games this season. Because she played in more games than the minimum, it counted as a year of her eligibility.

Year #5: 2011-2012. She tore her ACL in a preseason scrimmage and missed the entire season. She did not play in a single regular season game.

Her five-year timeline has now expired, but she only used up three years of eligibility, having missed a season because of transferring and a second season because of her ACL injury. Her life-threatening bout with meningitis was not a factor. She petitioned the NCAA for a sixth year in order to use her last year of eligibility. They granted it.

Year #6: 2012-2013. She played at Purdue as a sixth-year graduate student.

Any athlete that plays in more than the NCAA minimum (it used to be 30% of regular season games) loses a year of eligibility. The NCAA did, in fact, count Drey's year when she suffered with meningitis as a year of used eligibility because she competed in 29 games that season. However, like Cooper, she missed one year when transferring and one year with a knee injury.

#3 Baylor (25-1, 15-0) visits #6 Texas (22-4, 13-2) on Monday February 19 at 7:00pm CST. The game is televised on ESPN2 and the ESPN App.

Thanks for the reminder. Baylor kicked butt last time they met. Baylor and Texas(again) should give UCONN a good game if they meet in the ncaa tournament. Baylor seems to have a really good defense.

Problem is Baylor only played Texas (other than lots of cupcakes)...and Texas played one of their "C" games against Texas the first time. If Texas brings their "A" game I think they have a better chance of winning than losing today.

Lexi Brown is so smooth for Duke. Duke had over 20 offensive rebounds.

The other Brown for Baylor is almost unstoppable down low vs Texas

I didn't realize that Danielle Adams gained 100 lbs and joined Texas.

How is she gonna be the best freshman in the country when she alters the rotation of the earth when she changes directions?

She is out of shape , but is hustling and making plays.

I would love to see KK and Green come in early in the game more for us.

Yes and Brown is only a junior.

If Baylor gets fully healthy they are the best team in the country after UConn. If they win out through the conference tournament they absolutely deserve a 1 seed.....

Welp, that was their A game on their home floor. Aston is now 1-13 vs Mulkey.
