When does the blame go on the players? I mean they shot 38 % from the field and turned the ball over 18 times. I'm sure Drew has asked Perry Jones to play like a vag repeatedly this season.
Hi Bears! These aren't my words, so please don't take it personally, but I thought you might like to see what they are saying about Baylor over at SI.com: "Unless something changes quickly, the Bears are finished..." "This is a vortex into which the Bears are quickly spiraling, their bouts of offensive inconsistency outstripped by a passive, disorganized defense that Big 12 teams are now chewing up with regularity." "Baylor's zone defense has bothered me all season. It seems like such a waste of length and athleticism..." "For two years, the Bears have been described as talented. Last season featured significant underachievement. Now that talent is once again looking rudderless..." Rudderless? Now, I know Baylor people typically can't afford a boat, so let me help you try to understand what that means. A "rudder" helps steer a boat and keep it on course. Without a rudder, a boat goes pretty much wherever the hell it wants to go. Now think for a moment about what the "rudder" of a basketball team might be? I'll give you a hint. It sounds like "roach" and starts with a "c". I'll check back from time to time... -Hank
^Dude's message is hidden but I guarantee that his Ags weren't mentioned once. I have them going 1-3 in the last 4 while finishing at a whoppin 5-13 in conference play. Congrats on your Big 12 - 2 farewell tour. I'm sure it went exactly as planned. What a fantastic football and basketball season tis was! No hard feelings to the stand-up Aggies fans on this board!
There's too much talent on this team, sammy. He can't decide what defense to play...and he seems to pick wrong every time. They look undisciplined...they don't use their strengths. These are kids, and they need coaching...bad. It is amazing to me how insignificant their height is because they fail to utilize it at all. Drew can recruit like a mother...but he is nowhere near the vicinity of getting this team's best.

I was really happy with the way BU responded tonight when down by about 10 on the road in the 2nd half. I wish PJ3 had half of Acy's heart.
Baylor remains in the hunt for a #2 seed. They have to beat Iowa State and have a good showing in the conference tournament.
yep. BU was one of 3 schools in the country picked to showcase a new style of uniform by one of the vendors (addidas, i think). That means more to 18 year old kids than it should.
Yo. I know myself and many other people have called PJ3 soft, but reading this article has helped me realize that there's maybe more to it than just flipping a mental switch. Story I know he's not the only person in the world that has to deal with scathing criticism, and a difficult life, but I know that a lot of us fans have no idea what it's like for this guy.
