Alright then, let's talk some sports, shall we? Today's menu features a delectable matchup between the Utah Utes, sitting pretty at #23, and the unranked Baylor Bears. Now, we could mention their respective rankings but we don't want to spoil the suspense do we?
Let's peek at some of the main engines driving these two teams. For the Utes, Gianna Kneepkens has been stellar, delivering a consistent 17 points per game and let's not forget Maye Toure, who's been steadfast, scooping up 8 boards and chipping in 12.7 points per game. Kennady McQueen hasn't been shabby either, holding her own with an 11-point average last month.
On the other side of the court, the Baylor Bears have a powerful trio of their own. Sarah Andrews, Darianna Littlepage-Buggs, and Jada Walker have all been putting in james bond numbers, you know, double digits. And boy, can Littlepage-Buggs rebound! She's been a monster on the boards, pulling in 9.2 per game last month.
Now, let's rewind to their previous encounter, shall we? It was quite the shootout with the Bears just edging out the Utes 84 to 77.
But that's ancient history. Let's talk real-time action. Utes are currently sitting on a solid 13-3 record, just slightly edged by Baylor's 14-3. But then again, Utes have been handling business lately, winning 4 out of their last 5 games, while Baylor has been on quite the run themselves.
And yet, the AP gives no love to the Bears, leaving them off the rankings entirely.
So, which team will win the day? Well, it's quite like choosing between your favorite desserts. Both have their sweetness, but only one will satisfy your craving. Given their respective powerhouses, the history and the here and now, my crystal ball tells me tomorrow's headline will read:
