To no one's surprise, Gondrezick's getting shut down by Baylor's defense. If you want to see W prospects get their weaknesses exposed and play horrible basketball, just watch them play Baylor.

On Baylor's side, I'm just gonna say that Richards will get eaten alive in the W if she starts out as a PG. Forget about her inability to shoot: to be a good PG, you have to be both a good passer and a good ballhandler. I agree with myrtle, there's some real ball-palming there that a reffing crew could call on any given day. She also dribbled the ball off her leg out of bounds with minimal pressure on her from her defender in this game. Put a pesky defender on her and I think she'd struggle mightily. She's better off developing as a defensive SF imo.

With Carrington, again, she does a lot of things sort of well, but what does she do that's great that has a decent chance at translating to the W? She's the poor man's version of Arella Guirantes imo. Although I do like Carrington's defense more than anything she does offensively. She's played superb defense in this game, and really she's hit some nice shots on offense.

As for Moon Ursin, I have simply no clue. As I've said before, I think she's better off returning to Baylor next year, to continue building upon this career year she's had.


Baylor up 38-28 at the half.

DiDi will become the female version of Dennis Rodman in the WNBA.

I don’t think anyone really considers Didi a point, including Kim and Didi. Kim just believes in her. She’s a natural swing player—though that lack of scoring is still a problem

I'm hoping for a Baylor-Tenn matchup in the S16. Both teams score well in the paint on second chance points and both consider themselves dominant on the glass. First to 60 wins but it may take double OT.
