Baylor opened with and exhibition game against Southwest Baptist out of Bolivar MO. Caught my interest because I live there now and have season tickets to SBU basketball. SBU picked up a 6’6” transfer this year. This from the Baylor write-up of last nights game:
Southwest Baptist was led by Emma Perry with nine points. After scoring four points early, 6-6 center Victoria Hamilton got into foul trouble and finished with just six points and three boards.
"Their big kid got in foul trouble, which helped," Collen said. "Early on, I thought we were driving and trying to avoid contact with (Hamilton), so we were missing layups. If you go in and attack the rim the same way you would a 5-10 player rotating, you're going to put foul pressure on her. Worst-case scenario, she's going to block it. . . . But when you try to lean around her and stretch, you're blocking your own shot."
