Though Baylor pulled away late and handed UConn their worst loss, margin-wise in quite a while, neither team looked unbeatable. The Huskies' Achilles heel looks to be interior scoring/defense. Nelson-Ododa, their featured post was held scoreless going 0/8, Walker scored 18 points but needed 20 shot attempts to do so and Williams had 21 points, but 0/5 from long range.
Baylor's grad transfer from South Carolina, Cooper led the Bears with 27 points and Smith was an efficient 9/13 for a double-double.
Right now, Baylor looks to be the stronger team of the two but still weaker from their national championship team. Though they are still a great team, (it was hard to defend against two dominant posts in Cox and Brown), we still found a way to hand them their only loss last season and Brown is no longer on the team.
