    I couldn't find the previous thread so I decided to start a new one!

    Baylor is doing well, even though it has been against some weak non-conference opponents. The toughest opponent we've beaten is Xavier.

    A player to keep an eye out on is the transfer from Michigan. Ekpe Udoh is averaging 15.5 rebs and 8.5 blks in his last 2 outings. Lace & Carter also seem to be playing well.

    We should enter conference play against OU at 12-1. I think we make the tourney this season after almost winning the Big 12 last season!

    I started the last one and it turned into a massive clustermess with Aggies. Hopefully that won't happen again.

    That said, somehow I'm even more pumped up than last. We've got some tall guys and better inside game. Udoh's great.

    Yep I was a bit worried after losing a bunch of seniors but it looks like we haven't skipped a beat.

    Btw, we both signed up in July 2002! :cool:

    Just read that PG Love had committed to play for Baylor. He shows some Wall-esque potential!

    That Arkansas game was nasty. First time they had been held under 50 points since 1950-something.

    The success of the Bears will ride on their defense and guard play- much like the Rockets. If they keep up with the effort, they will make some noise.

    I wouldn't get too excited about the Arkansas win. This may be the worst Arkansas team since the early 1970s. Three home losses in a row to Morgan St, East Tennessee St, and South Alabama... :eek:

    I was reading up on this PG and I realized that Perry Jones has committed to Baylor. He's ranked #3 on the ESPNU top 100 :)

    Baylor is on the rise!

    we beat a good south carolina team on the road today by the double digits hopefully that will get the voters attention we have a good record now and it should increase to 12-1 to open Big 12 play against OU.

    Oh and im very excited about our recruiting class coming in. Perry Jones is the real deal and hopefully we will get some national coverage with such a high recruit coming in.

    The win against South Carolina was a good one, Udoh with another good performance (12 and 20).

    Excited about Big 12 play!

    Ya, we are def outnumbered. Usually we are the ones catching the heat. I think 1 dude in particular was giving these guys a hard time. Hank the Cowdog or something. Anyways, I am out... before we do actually derail this thing. Good luck Bears.

    I think a win against OU on Sat gets us into the rankings.
