This next one is going to be tough. Let's see what we got. It feels good to be in the elite 8 but a final four birth would be amazing.
If Baylor's clicking on all cylinders, as they were tonight against St. Mary's, they'll beat Duke. They're superior athletically, and honestly, Tweety and Dunn are just as capable from beyond the arc as Scheyer and Singler. Coach K doesn't have the horses on his frontline to hang with the Bears.
Absolutely not a chance in Hell Baylor beats Duke. Welcome to a real game with a real opponent. It will be your last without any doubt whatsoever. If it's not, I swear with Christ as my witness that I will never post here again. You beat up a girl last night. Congrats. Now let's see how you deal with her big brother... -Hank the Mouth Breathing Cowdog
No chance huh? This in a year with so many upsets. You're right though. We haven't beaten any real opponents. OD didn't beat ND and St Mary's didn't thoroughly handle Nova. Like previously mentioned, you would give your right testicle to switch places with us right now. Bitter aggie fan is bitter.
Hank's still butt-hurt over the fact that a depleted Purdue squad pissed on A&M's hopes and dreams of a Sweet 16 date in Houston. Sorry, buddy, but Baylor's the real deal.
To be honest, I don't consider Baylor over Duke an upset. I'd say Duke is a slight favorite. I can see everything from Baylor getting creamed (If they play like they did against SHSU) to Baylor dominating the game (as Duke has had some real bad games this season as well). I am glad Baylor has to play one non-double digit seed to make it to the Final Four. Going through the #1 seed to get there will mean they at least have to earn it and if I had to guess I think they will do it.
I think Baylor should win this game comfortably (6-10 pts) over Duke. They simply don't have any real weaknesses - they've got size, shooting, defense, great guards and forwards, an inside game, shotblocking, etc. And Duke definitely has some real weaknesses - just nothing that the ACC or their NCAA opponents so far were good enough to exploit. Baylor women also have a good shot of making the Final Four themselves.
Dude. I would not be so sure about that. Baylor has a very good team. I know I wish the Ags were playing them, but we did not take care of business. Baylor did. Hats off and best of luck the rest of the way. This Aggie will be rooting for you.
Wow ... With Kentucky going down, I can honestly see Baylor winning it all ... Absolutely amazing given the pre-season expectations
I think this is definitely the best chance Baylor will ever get to win it all. So many upsets this year. Take out Duke, Sic' Em!
agree on the hats off part, Baylor has a great skilled well-rounded team, and they took care of business throughout the whole way. Nothing but admiration for what they've been able to achieve. That being said, this aggie won't be rooting for them, simply because I strongly dislike the players' characters, among other things, from ThugDarius Dunn to Tweety, to the trash-throwing fans.
Really this coming from an Aggie, the most obnoxious fans I've personally ever seen. It's cool though I wouldn't be cheering for Ags if the Baylor/A&M position was switched. Anywho Sic 'em lets get Duke, and then WV will be TOUGH, but I feel if they can get through those 2, the finals vs MState, Butler, or Tenn seems like a decent shot @ winning it all.
Thanks for the compliments. You would take Lace on your team in a heartbeat though. Same with Tweety..
At this point, I would almost rate Baylor the favorite. I think they are better than Duke and should be better than all the teams on the other side. The biggest challenge will be WVU. Like Duke, WVU has some major holes whereas I think Baylor is much more well rounded team - but WVU just seems to prove themselves against really good teams over and over and over. Regardless, I'll be rooting for Butler just because I think it would be awesome.
We're the biggest team left in the tourney. I feel like we could defeat WVU if we got the same uncontested 3's Kentucky had tonight. One game at a time though!
I actually agree that they are the most complete team in the tourney, but if they play like they did against SHSU or ODU, they will be done from this point out.
That's a fact. Baylor teams have always had trouble putting together 2 good halves. This team has been better because they have minimized that problem against good teams this year, hopefully Baylor can put together 3 more games with 2 GREAT HALVES.
Not really sure why aggy continues to post on BU's thread. We could care less who you guys are rooting for today or your opinion of the players.
