That explains much. I think he is one of the leaders on this team.

I wonder if Drew got the tape out from the December 2021 Villanova game and made them watch it. That's how you play defense, men.


One of my all time favorites. IIRC, Fran & Dickie V called it a "defensive clinic" a couple times.

That was unquestionably the best 40 minutes of team defense I've ever seen a Baylor basketball team deliver.

Back from dinner and apparently need to eat some crow. Sounds like the defense really took it up several notches. Great win! Momentum is back I'd say

Not sure if you can watch on demand with Peacock but we came out with fire and intensity. Physical game. Refs let's them play, probably too much.

We just won a game against a good team in a game in which we:


shot 25% from 3
shot 37% from the floor
got outrebounded by 11
had 18 offensive rebounds against us
had only 8 assists against 14 TOs


PINCH ME so I will wake up


And possibly one of Flagler worst games (but with 2 clutch 2's). He saved the game for us really but was a non factor for 38:52 of the 40:00


Per Drew on the postgame Flagler was sick tonight.


Amazing how big he was with those 2 3point shots towards the end of the game!

Sometimes I'm able to find replays on YouTube that are posted. Hopefully I'll get posted on there! Anxious to watch it

Wild Bear often posts them within a few days. The Marquette game is already there.



Peacock might make it more difficult.

Just watched highlights on ESPN and the announcer concluded "Baylor beats America's team" - ***??
