Was cool to see Makai Mason hit a three from near half court against not my team. Good win, Baylor
Kansas can lose in perpetuity, for all I care
I was actually surprised they played that well also. I was hoping everyone in the Big 12 won their first round matchups....except them.
I know you guys mostly get tired of hearing stuff about Drew, but....Since tomorrow v Gonzaga will probably be Baylor's last game for 2018-19, I wanted to mention just a few things...
This team began the year with exactly 3 players who saw any time in games last year...King McClure, Mark Vital, and Tristan Clark. They were **** rotten awful at the start of the year. They were so bad on offense it was difficult to watch. They played really hard, but really bad. At Wichita State it was 44-15 at the half, but it was 42-9 with 2:23 left in the first.... Then Conference started, and they lost Clark for the year. in game 2. I don't think that even the biggest Baylor fan thought this year would end with even an NIT bid.
Scott Drew reinvented the team between the 2nd and 3rd Conference game, without the best player, and now has them in the round of 32. What he did this season is nothing short of miraculous.
Last night was BU's 20th win of the season. Drew's 10th 20 win team. In the 97 years before CSD, Baylor had a total of 3 20 win seasons, and 2 of those were Final Four teams in 1948 and 50.
Next year he has everyone back except McClure and Mason, While adding a healthy Tristan Clark and Transfer MaCio Teague who sat out this year.
Probably would want Iowa to get rolled because B10 <<<<<<<<< B12.
I think the announcers said the Anteaters had won 17 in a row. Impressive. O matter who they had played.
