The Lady Bears will not have much time to recuperate after {Friday night's game. Shortly after the game ends, the team will board a plane and fly to face Indiana University at 5 p.m. Saturday at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind.
"We've done it before, playing back-to-back. That's the way the Big 12 Tournament is set up," {Chameka} Scott said. "I don't think it will be as big of an issue as it's made out to be, especially if we take care of business on Friday."

Less than 24 hours after defeating UCLA in Waco, the Baylor Lady Bears are tied with Indiana, 40-40 at the half. Sophia Young has 10 points and 8 rebounds. Angela Tisdale continues her near-perfection at point guard: six assists so far and not a single turnover.

Baylor Wins 74-62
Im shocked this game was this close. |
Hard to say so far, in the Georgia game they were down 18 points, Georgia has definitely got depth issues.
UCLA, how good are they? The game was pretty close throughout.
The Indiana game was a back to back, a night game followed up with a late afternoon road game with travel in between, that is pretty tough right there.
One consistent thing so far, Baylor has put the hammer down when the game was on the line and coming into the home stretch. I would guess the travel was a big factor in the closeness of the game today.

KMR said on the postgame show that they got in to Bloomington at 2 a.m. Football traffic was so heavy this afternoon that it took 45 minutes--and a police escort--for the Lady Bears to get from their hotel to Assembly Hall. But, it's a win!

| Sophia Young if she keeps this up 19 points 16 boards will be on everyone's first team All-America ballot. She is fun to watch and one hell of a player. |

If she keeps that up she'll win some POY awards.

| Why were these two games scheduled back to back? It would be one thing if both were home games or both were at one site. But to play on Friday night in Waco and then Saturday evening in Indiana? What was the thinking behind that scheduling?

Lots of strange scheduling early on...Tn has back to back (at home) starting tomorrow then flies out Tuesday for the Paradise Jam...5 games in 7 days...I hope the legs hold out...

Indiana should be a much improved team this year. Getting 25 points out of Valentin against a strong inside team is a good sign.

Here's why.

In a grueling 24-hour stretch, the sixth-ranked Lady Bears will unveil their 2005 national championship banner, host the UCLA Bruins, fly a red-eye charter plane to Bloomington, Ind., and play the Indiana Hoosers at Assembly Hall. Sleep is optional.
“It's not the best situation,” said Baylor coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson, whose team hosts UCLA at 7 tonight in the regular-season home opener at the Ferrell Center. “But we make no excuses about it, regardless of the outcome. One way or another, it will toughen us up.”
Baylor was backed into a scheduling corner because of a commitment with Fox Southwest to televise tonight's game and the University of Indiana's refusal to move Saturday's game to another date. After catching a midnight flight tonight, the Lady Bears will play Indiana at 5 p.m. CST Saturday.

The Lady Bears toughed it out.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Baylor coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson hates to play zone defense. But her Lady Bears showed Saturday that if they must, they can make that work, too.
Forced by foul trouble and fatigue to abandon their trademark man-to-man defense, the sixth-ranked Lady Bears held Indiana to two field goals over an 18-minute stretch in the second half to put the Hoosiers away, 74-62, at Assembly Hall.
‘‘Everything was set up for us not to succeed,” Mulkey-Robertson said. “To leave here with a win shows we have some toughness about us.''
