Let's Talk Baylor Basketball

I think Baylor will win pretty easily tonight. I just don't like the matchup for Wisconsin on either side of the ball, and even though they played a great schedule, it didn't have teams like Baylor.

It would actually really help me win my NCAA pool if Wisconsin somehow won tonight, but I think as A3PO says, it would require Baylor laying a spastic egg of some sort, or maybe just having a cold, cold shooting night. (That sometimes happens after you have a whole 40 minutes at 65% or whatever. Heh.)

 

I think it's awesome that non-Baylor folks think this highly of BU's team! I never imagined that any athletic program at Baylor would reach those heights.

 

You don't remember JJ Joe Jocularity sweeping the nation?!?!

 

Regardless who wins tonight (hopefully Baylor), neither team will get past my wildcats in the elite 8. I've been looking forward to AZ putting a beating on SDSU all week. Arizona is going all the way, baby.

BEAR DOWN!!!

 

i don't want to rub it in since the game is not over. yes, i do. my badgers are going to elite 8.

 

As I expected, BU reached the Sweet 16 thanks to a very favorable seed and location (completely unfair to the 3 seed Creighton) by the committee. Now that they're no longer in SA and have to face a legit team, they are crumbling.

Looking ahead to next year, they are losing two important seniors in Heslip and Jefferson and is most likely losing Austin early to the NBA. Could Chery go as well?

They'll need O'Neale, Gathers, and Wainright to step up big. I don't see next year's team being an upgrade over this one. If Chery doesn't come back, this is a fringe bubble team. Should be in the tournament as long as Chery returns.

Annnnnd 31% for the Bears tonight.

 

Drew got exposed (unsurprisingly) big-time by Bo Ryan.

 

Wisconsin was a machine on both ends of the court, incredibly well-prepared.

I liked when Ryan said he was unhappy at halftime because "we should have scored a lot more points against their zone."

 

Team went much further than I thought they would. Sic 'Em

 

Creighton got their ass run out the gym, and that had zero to do with geography.

 

I liked this team. They were an absolutely dead rudderless ship earlier in the season, but in turning that around I think this was Drew's best coaching job by far. One of the strangest teams I think I have ever seen before.

Later losers!

And that's completely irrelevant. The 3 seed shouldn't have to play a true road game @ the 6 seed's home state.

 

That's great. But that didn't control the outcome of that game. You said BU beat Creighton because of location. BU was a nightmare matchup for Creighton, regardless of where that game gets played.
