And you guys just had Oregon. The McCafes and JoBo would never gotten past half court with Baylor.
The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
I wouldn't want any part of Baylor. They were impressive. If they didn't have that COVID swoon, they probably would have went undefeated.
Texas Tech (before I know their fanbase was psychotic) and Baylor were the two schools I was fine seeing win in the tourney
I'm conflicted. Love the Baylor players and I'm a huge Scott Drew fan. Great for those guys and great for the Big12.
However absolutely hate the worst most undeserving fanbase got that title.
I think you nailed it.
Used to make fun of his timeouts, zone, and honestly assumed he cheated.
Baylor is a VERY solid program now and tough to prepare for.
Wasn't too far off. Just take what I said and flip flop it, boom, accuracy!
Especially the bolded. He was pulling some super highly touted recruits to a school that at the time had an utterly abysmal track record in Men's BB. Those teams that had Quincy Acy, Perry Jones III, Cory Jefferson etc all seemed like there was no way he'd be able to recruit them to Baylor without making a deal with the devil. Seems like he started to recruit differently 5 years ago or so, and started finding really good 4 year players.
I could totally see Timme and Kispert in a Hawk uniform, leading them to another 2nd round exit.
Just calling it now: UCLA will become a victim of their own success. I've seen it play out so many times with that program. They show just enough for people to think they're back, just in time for the rug to get pulled out.
Those two defend like they learned from Fran.
Garza and Weiskamp are like Timme and Kispert lite
Next year? Sure. As the 2 best players on my best team in the history of our program? No.
Who was saying that? Timme and Kispert are two of the best players in college basketball right now. I would take both in a heartbeat.
I'd take Suggs and Ayayi over both of them.
