Really, this is your first post? How, possibly, does this advance or enlighten any point of view?

Yeah instead of being an ass he should have pointed out to that guy that we really do have two first round picks on our team. UW is talented, but I think we are more talented and athletic. Though you need more than that to win the tourney.

Re: Baylor

Baylor is arguably a Top 10 team (and in fact the selection committee had them slotted in at #9). Washington . . . isn't.

Agreed. Jacks will have to be at the top of their game to compete. Having said that, all the old cliches about teams putting pants on one leg at a time come to the surface in March. Go Jacks!

Re: Baylor

3 questions for you sir:

1. Do you own a TV?

2. Do you know there are other sports websites out there besides this one?

3. Did Washington make the Tourney?

Re: Baylor

Nope. That was Washington. Unless Baylor's got two first round draft picks playing for it.

And don't let's play the conference vs. conference thing. Unless we're trashing the Big East. Then I'm all for it.

Uh no. There's a reason Washington isn't in the tournament. Baylor is more athletic and more talented by far.

Re: Baylor

And to think we went to the tournament and cheered for SDSU in the finals. FWIW, I have seen Baylor play 3 times this year in person, the Jacks 3 times, and if you play them to a 14 point game you should be proud. As good as Wolters is, I feel Baylors guards will expose him, and Quintin (sp) Acey will own your bigs. All that being said, good luck.

Quincy Acy. He is quite a sight to behold...when he dunks he really tries to punish the rim...it's awesome... If he was 2-3 inches taller I think he would be one of the best Power Forwards in the NCAA...not sure he isn't now at 6'7" He is the heart and soul of the Baylor team...the absolute leader.

Re: Baylor

I know this isn't a smack thread so I apologize ahead of time, but I can't stop laughing. I went to Keloland.com to see if they had posted a video of the selection show, and at the top is SDSU to play Baylor... a little bit down.. USD to host state spelling Bee. Still chuckling.

Re: Baylor

I'm sure the Summit League will be happy to take a look at adding Baylor when the inevitable happens and the Big 12 folds...I'll give the Big 12(Longhorn Conference) 3 years. But I'm sure it will be more budget friendly for you to hold hands with ORU and join the Southland Conference.

LOL, budget smack from a fan of a tax-payer funded school. We aren't exactly aching for funds. As for the Big 12, well, it's going to be around for at least another 10 years. To suggest otherwise shows a bit if ignorance of the situation.

Re: Baylor

Washington had a more physically gifted back court, but Baylor has a more physically gifted front court.

Tony Wroten is a complete freak with his combination of size, speed, and athleticism, while Perry Jones III and Quincy Miller have lottery draft pick specs for their respective positions. The plus for the Jacks is that, though these kids are great talents, they are not great basketball players yet (I say "yet" because all 3 are underclassman and have the talent to develop a great basketball skill set).

I'll also throw in that Baylor's PG, Pierre Jackson (we should call him "Pier" like our capital btw) is crazy fast, but it'll be tough for him to stick with an NBA team due to his size.

Washington does have some good talent on the team but they are nowhere near the complete team that Baylor has. I just took a look at the box score from the Washington game. SDSU was flaming hot from three (63%) and shot about 55% from the field. That is as near perfect as you can play. It is a good feather in SDSU's cap, but the issue is that Washington isn't even in the top 50 RPI. They were the regular season Pac 12 conference winners and didn't get an invite to the tourney....i.e. the Pac 12 was historically bad this year.
