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
