Contain JRE, Play great 3 point defense, limit our TOS and we should win. Also they have slower guards so if the 3's aren't falling early hopefully we attack the basket knowing they have no rim protector and JRE can't be too aggressive defensively as he's their only hope in this game.

The Baylor Bears want to experience the excitement and joy of winning a MBB national championship, like the Villanova Wildcats have done in the recent past. Baylor can move one step closer to that goal with a win in the Sweet Sixteen tomorrow.

Would love to see our guards driving to the basket early and often to get JRE into foul trouble.

Same here, 3's are nice. So is getting the opposing teams only hope in early foul trouble.

Pronto a guardare la partita dallo yacht attraccato nel Mar Mediterraneo. Sar mezzanotte qui. Adoro questa squadra. Nessuna difesa in Europa League lo rende speciale. I try English sometime. Learn on SicEm sight. I read English but no write good. BU playa good defesa e win 81 - 72.

High intensity so far, not the best shot selections. Lot of dribbling as usual.

Afraid this might be one of those "die by the 3" games.

Villanova with some interesting D wrinkles.

Biggest issue is wishy washy putbacks.
