Winston Crite and the Aggies or was that the year before?
Crite was 1987. Ags were an 8 seed and had upset conference champ TCU (led by Carven Holcombe and Jamie Dixon) in the first round. We were a 3 seed and got past 2 seed UH in the semis, but were totally gassed before the finals on Sunday.

I don't want to hear any more about our "Great" D. We are very average.

Yup anyone touring this as an elite D is being a homer. We were an elite D before COVID not so much anymore

Very surprised to see Kansas State take a few leads early in the 2nd Half. I'm hopeful Baylor has 1 or 2 nice scoring runs to turn a close basketball game into a double digits win.

I guess our team took naps during halftime?

Not much like the Bears we saw beat West Virginia.

Weak, lazy, what is their deal?

Just Stop, Stats.

Yes, I believe in Jinxes.

You called it a virtual lock and we played our worst half except for the COVID Iowa State game.

Stop making predictions, OK?

You don't know the legend of Statman from BaylorFans, do you?

Stat's a good egg. He should keep doing what he does. We should do what we do.

I know when Stats gets comfortable before a game, bad things happen.

Been that way for years.

Mitchell and Teague doing everything they can on the offensive end to push us ahead.

I wish haha. My uneducated guess would have been closer if that were the case

Big 3-Point basket by Davion Mitchell gives the Baylor Bears a modest 51-44 lead with 13:21 to play in the 12nd Half. Timeout Kansas State. Baylor is shooting 54.8% now. Limit turnovers the remainder of the 2nd Half, and Baylor should get a decent win.

You guys can give Butler POY, but Mitchell has been the most consistent performer on both ends for this team all year.

He is a matchup nightmare because he can take you off the dribble and he can hit threes.

Not really. It would be embarrassing, but I just don't care about the conference tournament. It's weird how untense I feel about this particular game, other than the fact that it's embarrassing to be hanging on like this.
