I'm going to try and look at some of the positives. We actually outscored Baylor in the second half 36-34 despite Baylor getting most of the foul calls. Griner and Simms didn't play as much in the second but it generally stayed around that 23 point margin regardless of whether or not they were playing.
The team looked much more confident in the second half. It shows that they stopped being intimidated by Griner in the second half and displayed a real grit and toughness that we haven't seen in the last few years. I still wouldn't want to face Baylor in the NCAA tournament before the final four, but if we do I think it will be much closer especially since we would probably have Harrison back.
Kentucky got beat by a bigger margin than us so there's a strong possibility that Tennessee is the best team in the SEC. An SEC championship isn't unrealistic with these ladies.
I like our chances against Stanford. We always play them tough at home and this team is going to be playing with something to prove on Saturday.
