I'm still a little young... but has any Baylor player ever had a crossover like Butler. It's just beautiful.

Vinnie Johnson comes to mind. That's going way back though.

Any first half worries of not meeting the over/under were unfounded.

No he wasn't. That's what makes Flagler even more amazing as a pickup from a small school.

Mayer was a big part of the run in second half.

So many weapons.

Really impressive 2nd half and overall solid performance.

Will be a fun matchup against the Zags.

This is going to be another exciting season. Soak it all in Baylor fans! SIC EM

No way any team is going undefeated. Three losses would be fantastic. Everyone has off nights and plays teams that cannot miss. Lower your expectations a little. A few losses is no big deal but national champs is a very big deal. I am going to hope for a final four and be very happy with a national championship.

Mayer is stronger this year and it's helping his game.

That sequence by Mayer with around 6 minutes was just unreal. Very few D1 players could have done what he did in those 10 seconds

I wouldn't say NO WAY. We are coming off an incredible season. If we get past Zags we will be in a position where we might not have a loss. We have enough depth that we can rotate out anyone having a poo poo game.
