Tech scored just 2 points in the last 9:48 of that game. Absolutely brutal!

Just don't see them making a deep run at this point. Too offensively challenged (take a look at the Tech vs Tenn game earlier this year). 31% three point shooting as a team isn't going to get it done. Inevitably, someone will catch fire against you in the NCAA tourney, and they simply won't be able to keep pace.

I predict bu or tech vs tcu in big12 tournament final.

"I hope" -Red

"Apply yourself" -W.White

"Guys, who is Keyser Soze?" - K. Soze

"Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." -J.L. Picard

What a gutty performance. To lose a 25 point lead and win is probably unprecedented.

Every team in college basketball has ups and downs throughout a game. It's a very competitive game with great athletes doing their best. No team is tougher or has more heart than Baylor. This team never quits. This could be Drew's best coaching in many years. What this team has accomplished is truly remarkable.

I didn't make a racial joke but she was trashing our team / players and I asked her to justify her position and her wildly inaccurate statements. Asking her to justify her position is not running anyone off or canceling them or being message board police. Part of my Baylor education is to think critically and ask others to do the same.

Th racial joke was made my Redneck IQ ( name fits ) it's a free board craw where opinions are welcome right or wrong. There is without a doubt a handful on here who think they run this free board. That especially rings true when someone disagrees with their opinion. I'm not going to back and read the argument with Louise and others. But she's a good poster who enjoys watching the bears and she was ran off by the usual group who thinks they run the free side.

Don't go, Louise! Please ignore any hateful comments. They don't represent the vast majority of us.

Craw can't tell the difference in analysis and personal criticism. Craw is the one who was terrible to Louise and is totally unapologetic for making her feel so bad that she's gone. Craw's opinions have no more credibility than anyone else's here. Louise is so nice that she thought is was a discussion. He should personally apologize to Louise. My gosh.

Did I really just read that Craw told Louise not to let the door hit her in the…? If that is true, then Craw needs to be banned. How classless can he be? Get a grip, man. You are out of control.

THIS is awesome. Way to go Jeremy!

That ass-clown of a fake fan ran his line out with (real) Baylor fans a long time ago.

BTW - The clown has since deleted his tweet. LMAO

Good stuff, Tim. I agree completely.

The last time I came to the board someone made an ethic joke about my Italian heritage by roasting me and then asking "Can you make a pizza?". I think it was at the end of KU game thread. I don't expect this kind of talk from Baylor students or fans so it is better if I just say THANK YOU for helping when I was working hard on my English so I could use it here.

I also know that all who are here are not like this but this just took any desire to post on this board away. So thank you Sic Em fans for a nice run.

Thankfully, most posters here are decent people and many of us appreciate your contributions. Please don't judge Baylor fans by those who cannot behave themselves, those who act like Texas fans at their worst. Some of them may actually be trolls anyway.

Being the basketball forum of the National Champions, I am surprised there aren't more trolls than there seems to be. It seems to me that the "Culture of Joy" does not always reach down to this site.

It's sad that someone would let a troll run them off. I understand it and to each their own. I'd prefer Louise just put them on ignore and keep positing, if for just the simple fact that it bothers some people.

Dont let the trolls win.

Louise is a sweet lady from a foreign country who's excited about Baylor. I think her daughter attends. She's unfamiliar with posting. CRAWFISH VERBALLY ABUSED AND BULLIED THIS WOMAN until she left, who just wanted to participate in an open forum. Apologize Craw. You owe that to Louise and to this Board.

Craw wasn't the only one, and all of them are bullies and cowards, but he was sure the last one when he told her "not to let the door hit her in the". That was despicable and lowlife.

I would miss Louise if she decided not to continue posting here. Some of her postings are remarkably on point for someone so far away from the historic Baylor basketball program. The same could be said for most of us, come to think of it. At any rate, it would be a loss to our conversations here if she chose not to post. There is only so much that even a tough skin can take, I suppose, but it sort of goes with the territory.

Come on back, Louise. You have a lot of friends on this board, even among those in disagreement with you from time to time. Think about it for awhile, then give us another chance, both to applaud you and not-so-much you.
