This might sound like too much homerism, but this might be the best team in the nation right now.
a little too much homerism, but we are clearly top 10. want to see it on the road.
Fair, but when it comes March - it's all neutral.

of course, but when discussing who is the best team, performance on the road matters.

I think we actually deserve to be ranked #1, but I'm not ready to say we are the best team. we are in that group tho, and boy it feels good.

been since 2012, when we peaked at #3, right?

We are just racking up great wins early in the season. If we can find a way to start playing the first half...look out.

This team is flat damn amazing. It's only December, so I have to temper a bit, but this is the best Baylor MBB I've ever seen. Just incredible. So
Much different from Drew teams even 5 years ago. A huge part of me hopes Drew never recruits another blue chipper again

That was the most Baylor timeout ever. The students were ready to blow the roof off this mf'er, Jump Around was already playing, beat about to drop... and they stop it so kids can play dress up on the court. Know when to call an audible guys.


Thought the exact same thing.
