What do ESPN ccommentators know about West Coast WBB?? They rarely watch it, and rarely report on it. If you can bear it, watch some of their WBB games and you'll see they only report East Coast results all day long. No reporting the results from the night before, and of course nothing to report during the morning hours.
They don't know us, except for a game or three. What? You say that Baylor isn't perfect this year? When did that happen? Oh......If it wasn't on ESPN, it didn't really happen.
If C.al hadn't lost the game against UCLA, I'd have said they were ripe for the picking. But maybe they've got a renewed energy. They sure squeaked by in, what, 7 games or so. Even with the wake up call, they may get bumped off early again.
Well, I see it is reported that the semis would match (if all holds) Baylor vs Stanford and UConn vs ND. That's disappointing, not because we'd play Baylor, but because Stanford should have to earn a semi-final win to endanger Baylor again. And UConn-ND? Do I hear an echo... That seems so unfair to ND (risking a 4th game) and to UConn (risking going 0-4, and going up against a team that clearly has their number).
Won't it be fun to beat ND though?
You can vote for Chiney in one of those silly little polls.

Well, you can try to vote... it didn't react to my vote.
