We just don't match up well with Baylor. I know that sounds like an obvious statement, but there are lesser teams in the conference that are able to handle Baylor better than we can.

This game would be a lot different if they would have called those two fouls on Griner. She'd be on the bench, and they are a normal team without her. She's the only starter over 6'1", they don't need any other height with her patrolling the middle. The rest can hurry around and take chances on defense. They are also at ease on outside shooting when she is in there to clean up the misses.

This! It's like the refs are afraid they'll change the game if she ends up going to the bench but by letting her do whatever she wants it affects the game even more.

This is one of the first women's basketball games I've had a chance to watch this year. Do the refs just not call fouls? By my count we should be in the bonus and Griner should be on the bench with at least two.

Griner is like Withey... They don't commit fouls.

They never call fouls on griner. Its pathetic really.
