PORTLAND, Ore. — Baylor head coach Nicki Collen set the record straight after her fifth-seeded Bears came up just short of an upset bid against No. 1 seed USC. .
“Nothing is withering in Waco,” Collen said.
Baylor fell 74-70 on Saturday night in the Moda Center, but the close loss showed Collen and her team that this program is in good shape moving forward.
Collen’s comment was in response to a notion that the Bears’ program was on a downward trend, according to The Washington Post’s highly anticipated article about former Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey, which was published on Saturday morning.
