We're gonna have to play some zone to stay out of foul trouble going forward.

Yeah, I can see that. If Cryer gets back we may see more three guard lineups too.

100%. SCD going to have to get creative without losing his edge. I trust him. If any coach can use the zone it is Drew.

Flo was awesome today. I'm so proud of him. He gave the team exactly what it needed in JTT's absence.

Last good center we had was John Wheeler.
Ekpe Udoh was pretty damn good, though you might classify him as a power forward.

I could not tell you anything about BU bball until my daughter enrolled in the foreign exchange program here in Italy 3yrs ago. I heard the team with Acy, Tweety and Udoh was the best BU team ever until last year.
The 2019-20 team was the second-best IMO. It just never got a chance to prove that in the tournament because of COVID. I'd rank that Tweety, Acy, Udoh team as No.3, though, and the Pierre Jackson, Perry Jones team No. 4.

This team would have been right up with the best when healthy. We'll see where it falls after our myriad injuries.

Thanks. I don't know any of those names except when I use a search engine to find out a little about them. I use BING and search:

Baylor Basketball
Baylor Basketball All-Americans
Baylor Basketball History
Baylor Basketball Tournament Years
...and a few more.

I actually went back and watched the whole game vs. Duke in 2009 I think it was. Of course I knew who would win, but it still was fun to watch. That charge on Acy was a BS call and they really should have won that game. That player with the funny name, Lacedarius Dunn, was a wild one, but a pretty clutch player from what I saw.

Maybe Flo plays even better knowing he's the one and only full time big going forward. Won't get yanked after 1-2 fouls. May keep him in check more on getting those early game personal fouls.

Hopefully we can give them another best down in Austin like WBB did Sunday.

As Izzo always preached, at a certain level all that matters is peaking for the tournament.

Win enough to get a top 3 seed in a bracket and hit stride in March. Jan-Feb losses, who cares.

All that is true. But many Baylor people get serious satisfaction with a dominant win over Texas in any sport. Think about October 30.

Just back from the game. I don't think I've ever been at a Baylor athletic contest where I had as many mixed emotions as today. It felt so friggin' great to blow the Cows out of the gym, while at the same time just got sick at my stomach watching as JTT crumpled to the floor in pain. I realize there's likely to be some structural damage in his knee but I so hope nothing is so far advanced that it keeps him from realizing his dreams of pro ball. He is such a good guy.

And credit to Chris Beard for being classy about the whole situation. I was watching as he immediately went to mid court, beating pretty much everyone else there when JTT went down.

I saw that too & had the same reaction: Chris Beard was a class act today.

Helluva fun game today. Defensive effort was back. We hit Fts. Crowd really showed. Great game. Seeing Tcham go down was heartbreaking. This team has had so many bad breaks. Still dangerous, though, especially if we D up. Was really impressed to see Thamba play that many more minutes than normal and keep his effort and output up.

Doing all that and beating UT? Perfect day. Only thing better would be beating them in tourney and sending them home.
