Officiating really stunk. It was 5 against 8. Cardinal got 7 FT's, Baylor got 26. Really decrepit zebra crew.

Officiating did not beat Stanford. You have a very

good team, a well-coached team...but you don't face Big 12-type

defenses very often and BU is one of the best in that regard. Baylor is driven to win this year after choking last year against the Aggies.

The Irish better bring their Big Girl game tomorrow night.

Baylor may just win it all again next year as well.

I was at the game - sure some of the officiating was not terrific and sure Baylor played good defense - but actually Stanford's defense was pretty good too. The problem was 3-point shooting: 2 for 17. Stanford HAD to shoot well from outside to win this game....they didn't. They had open looks and they missed them - very simply, that was the game.

Agree with RT. Stanford did a good job defending Griner and indeed Baylor team as a whole. It was the offense that was cold. Some credit to Baylor but there were a lot of misses and you cannot afford to do that: lay-ups not going in (Kokenis), 3-pointers with one foot on the line (Samuelson), etc etc.

At least the Stanford coaches didn't make a case for their very own "what not to wear" episode . . . yeesh!! That shiny suit worn by the assistant coach was really something else . . .

Like I said, the officiating stunk, it always does post-season. The "correct" team always wins. The difference was not 3-pointers, it was FT's. Mostly, it is "Affirmative Action" officials who bend over backwards for fear of being ""politically correct."
