This game is televised live on several RSNs.
If you have DirecTV you have multiple choices. If you live in the B12 footprint your local RSN should have it.

I'm hopeful that UCLA can make a game out of this, though my fear (and expectation) is that the Bruins' relative lack of experienced front court depth will be a major problem... especially with Laj Drummer injured and unavailable today. If this game were taking place in March, and on a neutral court, I'd be slightly more optimistic about UCLA's chances of pulling off the upset. But: it's taking place now, and in Waco.
So we'll see what happens.

When is Drummer expected to return?
UCLA has a nice core, led by Canada. IT's too bad they couldn't keep Recee Caldwell or land one more top recruit, IE a big (if they had snagged McCall!). This team is right there.

Regarding Drummer: I don't know when she'll be back. I expect it *will* happen this year, but I don't expect it'll be especially soon.
Regarding Caldwell: it's just too bad for UCLA that Texas Tech decided that the best, most qualified assistant coach candidate available for hire was Ray Caldwell, but that's how it shook out. He was apparently the most qualified coach available, so they hired him, and fortunately for Texas Tech, he just happened to have a very talented and athletic collegiate-age daughter. And another one in the pipeline!
So sometimes you just get lucky I guess.

Can you define those choices, please? I DO have DirecTV, but can't find it (I'm kinda new with it, so don't know how to navigate it that well yet)

Well, try 660, 660-1, 661, 661-1, 687, 693, or 694. Some are HD, some are SD. All are 7pm Eastern time.

You may need to add the Sports Package to your programming.

| UCLA is going to have a tough time down low. I'm looking forward to seeing how Mo and Jordin handle this game.

| she has a subdued look (for her)...or maybe she just didn't make it to the hairdresser today.

No jackets thrown yet, but Coach Cori may throw hers if UCLA can't keep Baylor off the offensive boards... the Bears have 9 offensive rebounds (compared to 3 for the Bruins), and at least 4 or 5 of those Baylor offensive rebounds have turned into buckets.
UCLA's hitting their treys, though, which allowed the Bruins to push the lead up as high as 11 during the first half, and which has the UCLA lead at 7 right now.
The Massey engine projected a 12-point win for the home team today, so UCLA's certainly doing a better job so far making a game of it than was expected. But the Bruins just aren't as deep as Baylor, and I find it very possible that UCLA may run out of gas here in the second frame... Billings was kinda sucking wind as the 1st half was running down, and there's just nobody the Bruins can pull off the bench with her skill set.
So we'll see.

Baylor seems to have things under control here in the fourth quarter, 72-63 BAY with 7:33 left
Brown seems to be establishing herself as the center of choice. She has 23 pts (11-14), 16 reb, 4 ast, 4 blk
Cox looks to be benched after shooting 0-4 in 4 min

As feared, Baylor just has too much skilled size, certainly relative the Bruins. As I write this (with just a couple minutes left to play), the Bears have 51 rebounds (19 offensive) against just 24 (6) for UCLA. The Bruins aren't gonna win games against elite opponents giving up that many second-chance opportunities.
Also, Baylor's been playing really great extended man-to-man, and the Bruins have only one offensive athlete who can at-least-semi-consistently get past her current on-ball opponent: Canada. And she's now tired. And to the extent that Billings might possibly be the second person on that list, she's tired too, and anyway she's simply getting out-bigged by Brown.
So this game is what it is.
Let's get Laj back, let's get a years-worth of strength and experience into our less-seasoned bigs (Hearn and Rosenblum), let's get to March, and let's maybe see if-- should these two teams face each other on a neutral court-- the Bruins can better manage to keep pace with these Bears for 4 full quarters.
