Didn't realize the head to head was as close as it was for Dixon/Drew. I really liked Dixon when he as with Pitt, always viewed him a solid coach. Had an opportunity to go to a game there and see the Zoo in person. Great basketball culture that predates Dixon.
This has to be a must win for Baylor. I just can't see losing the next two and getting in. Historically our Big 12 tourney performance has been abysmal so not sure I would even count on a game there.
Obviously going in as a 8/9 seed sucks. Anything can happen but I just can't see this squad beating any of the 1 seeds. If our D was mediocre I would say it's possible, but even if we are clicking on all cylinders offensively our D will allow the other team to stay in the game. It's so damn frustrating, but trust Drew will figure it out. We will learn a lot about his strategy after this year.

If we're getting in it ain't as a 8/9 seed...were currently a 10/11 seed depending on bracket...and you know we ain't beating Houston so don't see us moving up .

Unless you're talking about a 8/9 seed in KC.

This imo is for an ncaa bid (not sure our resume deserves one) we lose tomm in Ft Worth than I see no path. We ain't beating Houston. That puts us at 17-14 headed to kc. At some point wins and losses should matter. No team should be getting in at 17-14

Well there's a path of winning a game or two in KC.

The Arlington Baptist win doesn't count so that hurts us

I think win tonight we're safe.

Heading to the game tonight. TCU is doing a blackout.

We always seem to win at their place. Hopefully that continues.

Please get more than 4 or 5 points by the first media timeout. The slow starts are maddening.

This team makes so many comically dumb and sloppy decisions. Never seen a team quite like it

TCU smart to double team Omier with the ball. He has no idea what to do.

Terrible shooting team

Can't recall a BU team that bricked so many wide open 3's

Omier posing as Curry. If this team could shoot the offense goes so much smoother.

People need to stop posting this every game. Give him time. He usually settles in. He's one of the few players on this team who's actually consistently dependable.
