Our Ashley Hodge, Kendall Kaut and Jack Mackenzie offer their thoughts and insight into Adam Flagler and Jalen Bridges NBA Draft decisions and where Baylor Basketball will from there.
The challenge with making guesses about things is that different people have different thoughts on different days. With that in mind, here are my takes as we head into the offseason.
A career-high 30 points from LJ Cryer could not keep the cold-shooting Bears in the NCAA Tournament, as Baylor fell in the second round for the second straight year.
Despite Jalen Bridges' career-high 28 points, the Bears fell to Iowa State for the third time this season and will now await their placement into the NCAA Tournament.
There were late-game woes again for the green and gold, especially struggles against a full-court press, but they did just enough. LJ Cryer and Dale Bonner both led the Bears in scoring with 15 points.
The Bears were led in scoring by Jalen Bridges who had 17 points, but many Baylor players stepped up today. Dale Bonner, the next guard up after Keyonte George left the game netted 13 points.
When you lose a half by 29 points, you rarely have a single problem. The Bears had a host of them in Lawrence. So let's evaluate and ponder some possible solutions!
