| I sure hope Tara makes a point about the FTs. But isn't it lovely to see some pure athleticism on our side?!

| Tara is really the master planner. If the girls can carry out her game plan, we can beat 'almost' anybody. And maybe, with the next two recruiting classes, God willing, it will be anybody.

| Hopefully some end of game control too, we made some poor decisions and almost gave it away.

Well, aren't YOU the vociferous cheerleader, young lady!  (AFTER you 'n me both picked Baylor in the tipping game--haha!)
Did NOT get to see the game, but Tara obviously had 'em doing something right, to have been outrebounded by 13 AND left 12 pts on the FT line--and still win....go Cardinal!!
I thought it was amazing to see Cox and Brown get 7 pts total....  And it had to be good defense (more than they were just *off*) with only 11 fg attempts by the both of 'em, combined. I'm sure lotsa coaches will wanna be watching that tape.

| Just think that Stanford is the better team. Simple as that. Did before the game, do now. Tara's teams with her recruiting classes of 2019 and 2020 will make her in many circles the team to beat in a couple of years even over Dawn's SC and yes, my Huskies as things stand right now. Tara's coaching acumen combined with elite talent is a formidable combination. JMHO

Individually, I think their top six one-on-one against our top six, they would have won at least 4. So it has to do with team play. I think in general Kim has been a really good coach, but wonder if some of the things that's happened to her the last couple of years has effected her coaching. Looking at her, she doesn't look as healthy or as animated as we are used to on the sidelines.

| Seems like Alanna has got her 3 point shot working pretty well so far this season

https://www.facebook.com/StanfordWBB/videos/358998914885420/ to the post-game pressers. Hope I linked correctly.
Anyway, Mulkey is second, and had me wondering, is she always like that? It just seemed a bit odd. Cracked me up a few times too. I have not been a fan but I kinda liked her in that strange (to me) presser.

Yes, I'd opine that you saw *classic* Kim there. 
I don't watch many pressers. Tara was her classic self, too....stoic, limited. Legend that she is, she can relax in the knowledge that the game itself said everything for her.
Kim, however, is going to entertain you to some extent. Some hate her, some love her, but I always find her entertaining on one level or another.

| Kim was definitely very entertaining. This should help them a bunch in preparing for UConn. Not that it will make 'that' much difference. Altho one thing she semi-complained about was physicality, which I find a bit hilarious as most of the time the P12 is considered 'soft'. Her post players are used to being doubled, but methinks not used to being doubled by reasonably good players. This year we don't have a stud bucket C but we have a plethora of reasonably competent posts. Anyway I think our loss at Gonzaga to a good Zag team was also a wake up for us, so we will see how this works out for Baylor.

This seemed to play out like most of Baylor's big games of recent years. They looked tight and the Mulk looked like she had a bad case of Mexican food on the sidelines.
No Good!
If ur a fan of a non Pac 12 team watching Mary Murphy call ur teams game vs a Pac 12 opponents, it's gotta be the equivalent of getting an enema.

| Just one question. How was Baylor ranked #3 in the first place?

| The surprise for me is when Mulkey said,"I was born out here, man!" Apparently, Kim was born in Santa Ana in Orange County. Kim Mulkey is from The OC!

Kim hasn't learned from Dawn, who took a year to understand- twin towers, especially when you don't take/make many 3s, makes a team relatively easy to defend.
Also, Baylor really misses Morris.

Baylor is consistently overrated relative to performance.

By holding their "too early" pre-season spot in the rankings and staying undefeated. Word is the diabetic Cox wasn't feeling 100% and her 15 minutes playing time reflects that.
If Oregon beats Miss State tomorrow, I believe Miss state doesn't fall below Baylor unless it's a major shellacking.
