QUOTE OF THE DAY

and we'll give it our best shot again."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When was the last time Baylor lost?
A: 2011 Elite Eight against Texas A&M
THE MORNING BREW Get prepared for women's basketball
Baylor forward Brittney Griner is bringing women's basketball into the national scene. Within a two
the national scene. Within a two game span she had two dunks that were repeated ad infinitum on Sports Center and drew comparisons to Kentucky forward Anthony Davis.
Her coach, Kim Mulkey, was a point guard and is the only person with national titles as a player, assistant coach and head coach.
Title IX legislation is in its 40th season after setting a new standard for women's sports equality at the collegiate level. It has allowed women's basketball to slowly gain notoriety while providing a viable career option for female athletes.
Tonight, the Baylor "machine," as Griner referred to it, will compete for another national title taking on Notre Dame at 7:30 p.m.
And now, with the men's season over,
it is a perfect chance to take in a night of
top-notch women's basketball.
Baylor enters the game undefeated
with the National Player of the Year and Coach of the Year on their sideline. Notre Dame brings Skyler Diggins who will face Odyssey Sims at the point guard position. Diggins and Sims are both finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award that honors the top point guard in the nation.
Despite the talents and names that are making women's basketball relevant, it is still an underappreciated, under-watched sport.
There are some key differences to
prepare for before switching to the women's game, but if you appreciate the changes, the game will follow.
1. PACE
2. SCORING
There is no back-court clock in the women's game which significantly changes the timing of each possession. However, the shot clock is shortened to 30 seconds.
There is less emphasis on three pointers and more on jump shots and scoring in the lane. Most scoring comes from half-court defense because the teams prioritize setting up plays. The games are traditionally lower scoring than men's games because there are fewer three pointers and three-point plays.
The women's game is more focused on fundamentals. With the emphasis
3. SKILL SET
on set plays, things like dribbling and passing become vital. While there is high athleticism in both genders, there are key differences in flashy plays since Griner is the only woman who consistently dunks right now.
If you tune in tonight, as every sports fan should, give it time. This should be one of the best women's games of the year with plenty of storylines on each side. Baylor has a perfect season in jeopardy and Griner is just fun to watch. Diggins and Sims will offer a good match up at the point and each coach will bring a carefully planned strategy.
