Other than conference pride, this game is of little consequence to Baylor. Not only are they still a #1 with a loss, they're probably still the overall #1 seed.

I love it. Makes the game more exciting. Provides more offense. Debbie Antonelli must surely approve!

Well I'd rate the game as 'better than expected'. Honestly, I was amazed that the Cyclones hung through 4Qs. That said, Kim has her work cut out for her if she's gonna make it to the FF, never mind winning it all.
Kalana should be so much more dominant. Aside from her nice touch @20ft. she doesn't have much variety to her post game. I DO like NaLyssa and Didi--great upsides to both of those underclassmen.
Interesting to see how the SEC contributed 2 of their finest guards to Big 12 play: Middleton and Jackson were big keys to their teams' success.
FINALLY: I really enjoyed Kim's New-And-Introspective personality when doing her post game interviews. She's mellowed like a fine wine in that regard.
Go Baylor!

FSN and the B12 announcing crew continued tonight their propaganda crusade demanding six B12 invitations to the Big Dance.
Sorry to disappoint you all, but WVU and TCU are (correctly) likely not going to make it, folks. Looks like 4.
Oh, and what was with all of Kim's tears and sobbing and talking about her nineteen years and other career info? Is she ill? Considering retiring? It sounded like a fairwell speech.

Ban that move and there goes lay-ups and dunking.

It's the same move as a slow-motion lay-up.
In a right handed lay-up, your right foot is your pivot foot. You step to your left foot, raise your right and then push off with your left to make the shot.
In the step-through move, your right foot is you pivot foot, you can make as many pivots as you like, then you step onto your left foot, splitting your defenders, push off with your left foot and shoot the ball.

Sort of, but it's a layup AFTER a full stop, (unlike a layup), with the layup-allowed extra step.
It asks too much of a defender to stop, imo. It essentially is a legal travel.
And since they are nearly as rare as a PAC12 WCB NC, i'm not concerned about its effect on dunks.

Being a full stop doesn't make any difference.
I can do the same thing and pass the ball. I can stop, pivot as many times as I want to, step to the side, pass the ball, and until I return my pivot foot to the floor, I haven't traveled.
Shoot the ball, pass the ball, you can't say that on is legal and the other illegal. It makes it too fine of a line for the refs to determine the intent of the ballhandler. Was it a shot or an alleyoop? Do you really want the refs to decide that?

yes, if it means an end to the idiotic extra-step travel baskets.
