We are 2-0 against Villanova all time. Last year's win in the Myrtle Beach Invitational was the first time we ever played them.

I would like to state emphatically that this person who gives up on players is NOT ME.

I just don't get Butler. It's like he's intent on shooting himself hot. He can drive on almost anyone anytime at will

He's checked out his body language says it all
Some of you "Fans" need to turn in your Baylor card. Sheesh - after this historic season and seeing these guys fight thru so much adversity - grind out wins -never give up on each other - some of you sit on your a$$ and just are so quick to quit on this team. It's really frustrating. This team deserves better fans.

He was huge on the glass pretty much all game. If Flo could finish around the rim with more efficiency he'd probably average 10 a game.
Flo needs to spend the entire off-season practicing going up strong at the rim. You're right, he leaves 6-8 points on the floor simply because he goes up soft almost every time.

I'd like to see them on our future OOC schedule as a game or 2 before conference play begins

Interesting.... I said "bench him for now". Because he was playing like garbage and clearly not right mentally. And you know what happened as I typed this? Drew benched him for a bit. Was Drew giving up on Butler? Or just playing smart basketball.

We have some sissy fans.

We also have the "I can coach better from my couch fans." They'll show up Monday if we're losing at any point.
