WACO, Texas – Three Baylor men’s basketball games have been postponed due to the Big 12 Conference men’s basketball interruption guidelines, the Big 12 Conference office announced Monday.
No. 2-ranked Baylor’s home games against Texas Tech (Feb. 13) and West Virginia (Feb. 18), as well as a road game at West Virginia (Feb. 15) have been postponed. The league previously announced postponed Baylor games at home against TCU (Feb. 6) and on the road at Oklahoma (Feb. 10).
The Big 12 Conference will work with the schools to reschedule postponed games at a later date. Fans with tickets to postponed Baylor home games can use those tickets for make-up games when contests are rescheduled.
Baylor is ranked No. 2 nationally after matching the best start in program history with a 17-0 mark, including a 9-0 record in Big 12 Conference play. The Bears won 83-69 on the road at No. 6 Texas in their most recent game on Feb. 2.

I am most concerned with the lack of playing at game speed. That will hurt the Bears the most.

I think the bigger concern is why can't Baylor get this under control...they're having much more issues with covid than any other b12 b-ball team.

Although you guys are right, we have had the most disruption in the Big 12, we're certainly not alone nationally, even amongst Top 10 teams.
Villanova went more than a month without playing a game from before Christmas through mid-late January, and Michigan hasn't played a game since January 22 at this point. Conservative or not, this is a reality a lot of contenders are having to face this season.
I just want us to get back to playing as soon as it's possible to do safely. I'd rather not have us play 6 games in a week and a half to end the season and go into the NCAA tournament ragged, or even worse, hurt. I'm assuming at this point that there won't be a Big 12 tourney.
Yeah, I'm concerned we are shooting ourselves in the foot.CTbruin said:
In my opinion, the rules for cancellation\postponement are very subjective, not clear and objective. Some in the administration has taken a very cautious approach. Concerning to me.
