The fans seem less engaged than I expected. It's probably because of the opponent. Hopefully, it will be significantly better with Big 12 games.

We get constantly beaten so easily off the dribble it's embarrassing.
Likely due to Cornell's elite speed

Excellent point. Considering that fact, it looked like a pretty good showing from the students.

Luckily, there are no more 11-day layoffs the rest of the way.
He also thinks Drew is a poor coach on defense.
Mark Vital and a few others would disagree.
Doesn't other team have same similar worse layoffs occasionally?
Get real. Baylor students will never be (hope I'm wrong) Cameron Crazies or Kansas level nuts for their basketball teams. It's just what I call reality.
So I think the size of the arena and the way it's constructed is perfect. I'd 100% rather have a sold out 95% Baylor crowd every game.
Yes, tickets are pricey. They are WAY more pricey at EVERY elite basketball program in the country. Stop whining. Be happy.
For $11 a month you can watch these games on ESPN+ from the comfort of your computer chair. Stop complaining.
We are incredibly fortunate to have mens and womens teams with national reputations like we have...and with coaches who just might hang around for a very long time.

....and, regarding Ivy League teams....ask a few teams in March Madness how much fun it's been to play Ivy League teams.
They are better than given credit for. Princeton anyone?

So in the end, despite the Christmas layoff, only two practices on the new floor before the game, and the incessant whining of IowaBear, the Bears win by more than the spread.
Some of ya'll probably should not watch the conference season. You soil your panties now, Lord only knows how you will handle our games against Kansas or Houston.

I put the crap defensive showing on Drew he's the HC. His responsibility to adjust. Quit acting like a child because someone has a different opinion than you. By the way you also blamed the long lay-off on the MSU game and proceeded to guarantee we smoke Duke. Forgive me for not putting any stock in the **** coming out of your mouth.
Still waiting to hear from you who's in Charge of our defense.
If you're not ok with someone having a differing opinion then you I'd suggest staying off these boards. It'll give your old ass a heart attack arguing with me all day

I get it. You hate Drew, because he's obviously never demonstrated the ability to create a great defense .. except he has.
For all your whining, all your endless rants, your blaming Drew is diarrhea in print.
Drew is a HOF coach, and you have accomplished jack s.hit so far as anyone can tell.
Sucks for you, but seriously, grow the F up.

Where did I say I hate Drew? Quit putting words in my mouth. I said it's coach Drew's job to fix the D.
Something I guarantee he would tell you if you ask. If anyone here needs to grow up it's your old ass.
Answer my question… WHOSE JOB IS IT TO IMPROVE THE D??
As far as what I've accomplished, wayyyyy more in my 30 years than you have in your 90. Which is absolutely pathetic
I'll hang up and wait for your intelligent response.

Where did you say you hate Drew? All those times you dissed his history as a coach with great defenses.
And seriously, besides wetting your pants all game long, what insights and coaching skills have you demonstrated, that anyone should pay attention to your opinion?
I have made several observations as to why Baylor is struggling on defense right now, and it's not because Drew sucks. If you really want to know my answer, take the time to go back and read them.
I do not owe you anything. You are right that a person has a right to their opinion, and I also have a right to point out how stupid someone would have to be to say defensive problems are Drew's fault, simply because that guy wants to feel important on an internet forum.
Growing up is obviously beyond your scope. But don't imagine for a moment you come off as anything but ignorant and ungrateful for what Drew has done so many years.

You're the only one on here who thinks I'm ungrateful simply for saying Drew needs to improve THIS teams defense. You keep moving goalposts and using straw man arguments.
No where have I mentioned past teams. Anyone with a brain knows CSD is a great coach. And no where did I say he wasn't. I said he needs to improve this years teams Defense! Quit putting words into my mouth. If anyones trying to sound important on here right now it's you.
There's like 10 posters on this thread saying defensive coaching needs improving. I'm not a lone in my OPINION

And yes, as the head coach, SD deserves some criticism for that. Maybe a lot. Anyone that doesn't want to admit this isn't being honest or is in denial, and anyone who thinks it amounts to "hating" SD is being way too emotionally fragile.
Thank you! Literally the only point I was trying to make. Someone gets it
Thank you so much for coming back BaylorFam to be here for opening night!!!💯 @Wainright24 @IsaiahAustin https://t.co/pPTZRGu0FH

You directly attacked Drew. That's not 'moving goal posts', that's quoting.
And yet not once have you supported the claim that Drew is why the defense struggles. You have not named one thing Drew should do that he is not, or is doing that he should not. All you have is that as head coach it must be his fault.
I pointed out - and you ignored - that the record on Drew proves he is very capable as a coach who makes good defenses, and that there are a lot of reasons a defense can struggle which are not in a coach's control.
So up to now, all you have done is throw out unsupported attacks on a Hall of Fame coach, then throw a fit when called on it.

Just now seeing this game thread, what in the world is going on here with all the personal attacks?!
My .02. I thought Cornell was a very tough opponent. Physically tough team who punched us right in the mouth, and we still took care of business. In particular very high quality guard play. There's a reason MM teams like this are capable of pulling off upsets in March Madness. But reading this thread it seems a few posters grossly disrespect Cornell as a quality opponent and think we should have blown them out by 60. Cornell was no pushover team. OK on to the next one.

Game threads are horrible, and this was the worst of the worst. The first half of the thread was solely about the camera angle and the second half was pretty much nothing but criticizing Drew's coaching (with a lot of personal insults directed to anyone who disagreed).Crawfoso1973 said:

I'm glad someone finally mentioned we won (by more than the spread).
Saying Drew needs to fix the D is NOT a personal attack. Again using a strawman.
Not 1 time have I attacked Drew.
What I have done is point out the very obvious (the defense is really really bad) and it falls on CSD to fix that. You keep telling me it's not Drew's job to fix his trans defense. We're never going to agree. So we can sit here and argue or we can agree to disagree. But i won't let you out words into my mouth and that's exactly what you're doing

Saying Drew needs to fix the D is critical of his coaching? Personal attacks began by OldBear. Not me. Read the entire thread. It's a unanimous thought that the defense has to better that's not some diss at Drew

Me lol. I did give it a rest… right up until Oldfart brought my name into AGAIN after the game had ended. You're preaching to the wrong hombre here Rev.
We're allowed opinions, it's a message board. If people can't handle harmless opinions without resorting to attacks messages boards aren't for them

If our defense doesn't improve, I'm more concerned about how the team will handle Kansas, Houston, & Texas.
