I predict That CSD will leave after the tournament. NIL will kill Baylor Sports. And, he would probably be looking into the future and his job security.. Going with an SEC team would enhance that security.


Job security? He can get a job anywhere at anytime, he doesn't have to worry about job security. Brain worms lol.

This is the best start we've had to any game all year.

Missi going down is concerning, but we're playing about as well as we can right now.

Job security??!!!

Scott Drew could coach at Baylor until he's 90 if he wanted to.

Just said available to return so likely just pain and not a major issue. At this point keep him out, doesn't look like he's needed this game.

Both Lohner and Little are giving us the energy we need from them.

Lohner seemed to wake up just before the Big 12 tourney. If he just gives us this kind of energy on the boards and fills in a couple gaps offensively he's a massive plus in a tournament setting.

Our defense is starting to suffer. We need to play with more intensity on that end of the floor.

All Colgate's offense is under the basket.

We will likely end up w/ more half time points than FAU/Northwestern do combined.

And then a meteor will land on Waco destroying everything within in a 10 mile radius. Only the BOR will survive. It's gonna be a rough couple of weeks for BU fans.
You left out the invasion by Mars.

they're killing us in the paint and they pass to well for the zone to work consistently. just need to keep scoring, they can't guard us

I was wrong, the zone is keeping them out of the paint. they're just chucking up 3's

Missi is an elite rim protector. Just not a good low post defender. Those are 2 separate skill sets.
