The No. 1-seed Baylor Lady Bears look to break the curse of their Elite 8 struggles tonight as they take on No. 2-seed Mississippi State.
Sophomore post Kalani Brown said she knows the game of Teaira McCowan, who she grew up playing AAU basketball with.
“Big, strong. Big in the post. Got to block her out and do my work early or get punished. You can’t get deep. Just do my work early, run the floor hard,” Brown said.
McCowan scored 24 points in the Sweet 16 game against Washington on Friday night.
