Immediate Takeaways from Baylor Basketball's Loss in Manhattan

Baylor needed to win this game to feel it had much of a chance in the Big 12 race, but with the loss, the Bears likely won’t 3-peat as Big 12 champs. 

Let’s bullet. 

*A bad night for Adam Flagler — I think he’s been one of the three best players in the Big 12 and so integral to what Baylor does. But starting 0-of-9 from the field isn’t going to get it done.

Lohner is a disaster, this is a massive recruiting miss, this team dearly needed a power forward that could do it all. How the staff missed this badly is beyond me given their track record. Lohner's hands are not strong and he is not talented enough to have a full scholarship on one of the top 3 programs in the country. I have been saying this all year. Tonight he fumbled the ball, passed it directly to the other team, committed turnovers and missed two passes right through his hands. He offers no threat offensively. Please put love in or the young big man just anyone.

Agreed, time to pull the plug on Lohner and sit him over there with Loveday and Turner. I thought about this, and I think we would be better off playing Bonner as Bridges' backup at the 4. Go smaller for those stretches and give those 10 or 12 minutes to Bonner.

Ya, he just can't seem to get comfortable out there. He has shown flashes, especially rebounding the ball. He needs to go to a big man camp to work on his footwork if he hopes to salvage his college career. He has the physical tools and had a decent shot, but every time he makes a move to the basket dribbling the ball he commits a turnover by traveling or throwing the ball away. Early on I thought he could be our Mark Vital, but he just commits to many errors.

Kendall: re: this point: Time to get a faster press break offense Wise move by Jerome Tang to have a guy shadow Adam Flagler up the court
Do you think Drew has explored moving Adam off the one and put him back in his traditional 2 spot? KG seems like the better 1 choice, turnovers not withstanding. Flagler is an awesome spot up shooter, but has a harder time creating from the point than the elbow. I know Drew is a smarter coach than I am obviously, it just seems we have a hard time breaking the three point line to drive to the basket. LJ did it a little in the first half, but it seems like all of our guards want to hang out around the perimeter for long stretches of the game.
