They had their 1 appearance last year; they're due back in the dance in about 30 years.

Dunno, but according to some knee-jerk posts on here early in the season, they were light years ahead of our program and we were going to take a few seasons to even catch up.

Let's save our gloating until we beat Syracuse. Remember, MBB has lost their last 4 games and looked bad doing it. Congrats, though, for making the Dance. Happy for the players.

What Drew has done has been truly amazing. Ever since he took over the ****storm Dave Bliss left that put us on two years probation, my expectations have been very low for Baylor basketball. Coach Drew continues exceeding my expectations. Another year to The Dance is another huge win. Anything more is just gravy.

The irony here compared to your football posts is stunning.

Just like we were the first team out last year, TCU couldn't even get that far as UNCG was team #69.

Dumb post. Even if we lose to SU we are still in a position to gloat at tcu.

You are posting on the basketball board, where Drew is king and just making the tournament is enough for these posters even if we lose to lowly teams that we have no business losing to. Winning games in the tournament does not matter here. Only participating.

Boy are you about to get flamed (for basically posting the truth).

Not a TCU apologist, but didn't they lose a bunch of players this year, some to injury and others leaving the team? 4, I think? Two or three starters? Thanks to a determined ball club and good coaching, we aren't in the same boat right now, but easily could have been. Under the circumstances, I will simply wish TCU luck going forward, be thankful it wasn't us, and yell my loudest against 'Cuse.

No.. because reasonable basketball fans with a modicum of hoops knowledge are tired of trying to explain it to ya..

This isn't the NBA with 32 teams. There are over 338 Division 1 teams..and every year like last year with UMBC and Loyola it proves everyone is in it..

We're tied with West Virginia for the most second-weekend tournament runs of any Big 12 team not named Kansas this decade. That would suggest we're both making the tournament and winning games once there, no?

But by all means, trash the greatest coach (by far) in Baylor basketball history, without whom you wouldn't have fictitious postseason struggles to ***** about in the first place.

Yawn.

Second most.

In the words of Ricky Bobby... if you ain't first your last.

Yale says hi.

And whatever that Georgia school was that trounced us.

So please provide more fake evidence of this postseason success.

Please list all the championships won by the great all mighty drew.

And be sure to include big 12 titles.

Two Elite Eights and two Sweet 16 appearances in a 10-year period isn't fake success. Just about any non-blue blood program in the country would take that in a heartbeat.

It's OK that you're not a college basketball fan. But you don't have to flaunt your ignorance so openly. Some things are better kept to yourself.

Yup. We made the Big Dance in a down year and we're still getting some very ignorant posts. Did someone lose their EGOT login or something?

Again I will ask. Please post all the championships won by Drew. Include Big 12 titles.

The only ignorance here is from you and others who want to defend Drew for not winning and trying to pretend that making it to an Elite 8 is some sort of huge achievement that means he can get no criticism for the rest of his career.

Titles.

That is what matters. Not being trounced by Yale and then falling back and saying "yeah but we made an Elite 8 once."

Maybe you can provide the answer. Please list all titles won by the holy all might Drew.

Then we can talk about whose posts are ignorant.

We made the Elite Eight twice and backed that up with two other Sweet 16 appearances ... in a 10-year period. Keep up.

It's beyond obvious from your posts here that you don't follow college basketball. I know it's March and your co-workers are starting to banter around the water cooler about their brackets, but it's probably best for you to sit this one out. You want to keep the respect they still have for you.

The fact in 2 different posts you said we got trounced by 'the Georgia school' then trounced by Yale shows you don't know what you're talking about..

And let me tell you something.. you're probably a Briles fan...like I was and most everyone here..I enjoyed those back to back championships..what I don't enjoy.. rightly or wrongly..is 3 years later having to defend my schools reputation on social media as 'Rapelor'.

In case youve missed it. In basketball UNC Kansas and Arizona have had serious charges and insinuations against them. You're naive if you don't think many more schools are involved.

Drew his been here 16 years without a hint of scandal. Rico's Walmart shopping spree not withstanding..you can compain about the lack of titles going up against a bunch of programs who are cheating their ass off..but I'm not..

Well that settles it. Guess we're failures, Drew is a bad coach, and the NCAA Tournament means jack.

Every basketball season it's like this. Just recently the wrong belief that a regular season Conference Championship is better than any wins in the NCAA Tourney has taken hold with a small number of fans on here. I am glad the majority don't believe that.

I say this as someone who holds our 3 Big XII baseball championships VERY near and dear to my heart, but the 2 years we won the Big XII and didn't make it to the CWS...I'd flip those accomplishments in a heartbeat. The dream every year is to get to Omaha...if you can win a trophy or two along the way, great! But it isn't a prerequisite to get to where you want to go.

I view basketball similarly. Winning the conference is a great accomplishment. I hope we do it next year and get that monkey off our back. But a deep tournament run is at least as important to me, if not more, than winning the conference.

And don't even get me started about people *****ing about conference tournament championships. I'm all for winning one...let's do it. But if we don't, I seriously don't give a ****. And if folks are going to get all hot and bothered over conference tournament championships, then maybe it's time to start giving Drew a little bit more credit for winning tournaments like the Battle for Atlantis. Beating VCU, Michigan State, and Louisville is every bit as impressive as winning a conference tournament championship.
