All good points. On A&M vs Griner, they\'ve had 4 chances this year and  maybe 3 last year to get experience playing against a - 6\'8" Griner. A&M only won this last one, so  I wouldn\'t take too much solace in the fact that they finally won.
Easy to under-estimate how difficult it is to adjust to playing against that kind of 6\'8" 7\'5" wing-span player, for the FIRST time. Think North Carolina on steroids.
The other thing you shouldn\'t extrapolate from the A&M game is Sims performance. Colson did to Sims what Diggins did to Simmons.
I for one am OK with not seeing Baylor.
Not that A&M will be a picnic. But the Stan vs A&M game should be more up-tempo. Also should be a fair battle, and not 5 vs 8. I\'ll take that.
