Re: Baylor

TV's Twitter

AccuScore simulated 10,000 games between SDSU and Baylor. Average score: 74.4-68.6. Jacks' chances to win: 33 percent.

Gives us a little better chance than what history shows. This site http://mcubed.net/ncaab/seeds.shtml has the 3 seeds with a record of 92-16 all time vs. 14 seeds. No doubt it will take a great effort to win, but history shows it does happen on occasion. I hope the Jacks win, but am far from expecting it.

I'm just going to enjoy this ride because who knows when it will happen again.

And I just love the Baylor fans arguing on our message board. Low rent dudes.

And I'm shocked that the head to head comparison of the Summit and the Big 12 shows the Big 12 as the better conference. Like comparing an apple to an orange and coming up with the apple not being an orange and being suprised.

Re: Baylor

Perhaps the apples to apples comparison would be to other mid-major conferences where men's BB budgets are less than $5 million/yr?

Only if the tournament game is being handicapped based on mens BB budgets.

Moderators are going to fight hard to keep the discussion on a high level. The usual rules apply including, for example, not attacking a poster which includes no name calling ("low rent dudes").

We try to keep to two major guidelines here:

No smack in non-smack sections/threads, and
Discuss posts, not posters.

These two things seem to go a long way towards keeping the place from degrading into an Internet shouting/screaming match which almost nobody finds particularly fun to read.

Friendly reminders are our main weapon for now (along with surprise, surprise and fear, surprise and fear and ruthless efficiency, surprise, fear, ruthless efficiency, and a fanatic devotion to the Pope, or something like that).

I know its impossible to quantify, but I wonder what happens to those numbers when the 14 is an underseed?

My apologies if this has already been mentioned in this thread, but here's a stat that I like: 2 of Baylor's last three losses were to unranked teams. They are far from invincible.

KSU at home was a bad loss...Baylor abused them in the Big XII tournament for payback...

ISU at Hilton is in no way a bad loss...KU lost there too...they may be unranked, but they don't lose at home...

If I was looking for hope, I'd look back to the first round of the 10 tournament in New Orleans when Baylor's Elite Eight team came within a couple of minutes of spitting the bit against the mighty Sam Houston State Bearkats...

Re: Baylor

171 posts and barely a mention of Jordan Dykstra. Key to the game on both sides of the court. Can extend the Baylor defense to the three point line and has to play bigger than 6'8". Leaving for NM early Wednesday morning. Can't wait - Go Rabbits!

Last time we played at Iowa State we won so its not that hard to do. Iowa State is better since then but so are we.

yeah, I'd say that the 2012 clones, 12-6 in the Big XII, were a little tougher than the 2008 bunch that went 4-13

I'm pretty sure that Walton and Bello will be on Wolters all night...

who for SDSU will keep the Canadian Marksman from getting a clean look?

Yeah, pretty sure Iowa State. I remember it well, Kai, and Garrett led the team to a nice win.

Like I said, they are better, but so are we since that game.

They might, but it will be hard when he starts dishing to 4 guys who shoot well over 40% on threes, White, Griff or Carlson I am sure will be up to the task. We have seen other great shooters before and most of the games have held our own keeping them from going off to much.

This is the same attitude prevalent among St. Mary's fans a couple years ago. As stated before, Baylor's size, athleticism, and defensive pressure will cause a lot of fits for the Jacks.
