I'm not sure...I woke up Saturday and the first thought I had was, Baylor game!!! I was pretty disappointed...but then I saw that Gonzaga must have had numerous guys out with COVID given the 4 game hiatus they are taking, and I was really glad they didn't play!
They're just so good on both sides of the ball. Gonzaga is clearly the best offensive team in the country...but Baylor is so balanced.
Hopefully the game Tuesday happens and both teams are at full strength. Not sure how Baylor handles things but with UT it's been a gametime announcement..."whoever runs out of the locker room is available"
Yeah it should be fun. I am coaching a basketball team right now, and we have practice tomorrow till 7:30...so I'll likely miss most of it...I'll be checking my phone repeatedly.
https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/b...interesting-to-historic-after-win-over-texas/ The Bears are 10-1 against ranked teams over the last two seasons, the first program since Bob Knight’s dominant Indiana teams in 1974-76 to win 10 of 11 games against ranked teams, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. And Baylor is the first team to start 17-0 with all eight wins by eight-plus points since UNLV in 1990-91.
Wisconsin terrifies me in the exact same way that every team in the tournament terrifies me, because these are kids playing a game and crazy **** happens all the time.
I hope Baylor beats them by 40. They play the ugliest brand of basketball you'll ever see, heard during their 1st game that they finished something like 320th in pace of play this year, and it was the highest they'd ranked in that in a decade. They make Tech and UH look like 80's Loyola Marymount
good first half. Baylor was 6-0 vs the slow pace teams in the Big 12 this year. Hopefully they hold up in the second half. Defense looks fantastic.
Aside from Phi Slamma Jamma, I never really had strong rooting interests in the tournament who had any real expectations. That changed big time with both Baylor, my alma mater, and UH, where I went to law school and where my kid goes. I used to just love watching the tourney and rooting for underdogs. This is so insanely stressful when you have such a strong rooting interest you’re invested in.
Outside of a handful of UT seasons I've always been the same way. Thought you'd like to know, CBS has determined that Baylor is a "traditional [Big12] conference power", along with Kansas. https://www.cbssports.com/college-b...econd-round-after-perfect-start-in-big-dance/
