Re: Baylor

I agree that people shouldn't call a program dirty without proof. I think people can call Baylor shady after 2003, and even more how they got into the Big 12, how some of the recruits got to Baylor, how they kept PJIII after all signs pointed to him leaving. At least the question can be brought up. But to say its a known that the program is dirty prolly is a little too far.

Perry turned down the NBA to play at Baylor. Yes, all signs point to bringing up questions because a college player might stay in college rather than PLAYING IN THE NBA FOR MILLIONS.

And calling Baylor dirty AFTER 2003? Holy hell man, our program got gutted. Scott Drew, the nice guy of Valpo was going to come here and start cheating? Sheesh. Lot of stupid here, sorry to litter your board with my rant guys.

Is this stupidity typical for your forum? I've been nice the few times I've posted, but this, this is just stupidity.

Re: Baylor

Wanting to make you work a little bit. In your opinion what teams would pose a better match-up at the 3 or 4 seed? Not challenging you just looking for your opinion. I think there are several other teams that would be more difficult for the Jacks to match-up with.

I think Michigan would have been an ideal match-up.

Re: Baylor

This. Everyone let your balls fall back down and cheer for SDSU. The team is going in expecting to win.

My guess at the likely outcome does not stop me from cheering for the Jacks in the least, and I'm guessing that others feel the same way.

Re: Baylor

It would surprise me if we win. I really hope I'm wrong, but this is a bad, bad match up. I think we lose by double digits.

Re: Baylor

Fu$k it....I expect to win this thing. On record. We cinderella this thing! Man up and be a Jacks fan or go be a 'yote and whine about sh$t.

Yes!! Finally. I have SDSU going to Sweet 16. Why? Because I think they can beat Baylor. I state before the selection show I was picking the Jacks no matter who it was. Mizzou, Baylor, Indiana doesn't matter. I would rather lose my bracket than pick against the Jacks in their first ever NCAA tourney. I do believe they will win and the players think the same way so we as fans should as well

Re: Baylor

Jacks can do this, there is no doubt about that. Pulling for the Buffs to upset UNLV in the other half of the bracket as well. Xavier over Duke and Jacks are looking at an Elite 8 spot. ORU stomped Xavier (I am aware of the suspensions).

Re: Baylor

Because Baylor has been, at times, spectacularly inconsistent. They're a young team, starting one senior and one freshman. If SDSU comes out and punches them square in the mouth, it could be a game.

Haha yes I realize that and have said that from the match-up was announced just wanted to ask RO why he thinks we would do worse than what "experts" are picking us to win. Haha and jack power I put quotation marks to emphasize the expert part.

Re: Baylor

It all depends on which PJIII shows up. Baylor has the length in the frontcourt but SDSU has the length in the backcourt. If you think we lose by double digits than why are "experts" picking SDSU as their "upset special"

By putting quotation marks around experts,i believe you answered your own question.

Re: Baylor

What gives me hope against Baylor is how Missouri beat them in the Big 12 Championship Game.

No, I'm not saying we are as good as Missouri, but we actually have more size than them and we play a similar, uptempo style. Obviously they are a quicker team, but our guards are longer and play more discipline defense than what what Missouri played in the championship game.

Here is the starting lineup comparison in terms of height:
Mizzou / SDSU
6'8" / 6'8"
6'6" / 6'7"
6'3" / 6'4"
6'2" / 6'4"
5'10" / 6'4"

This tells me that a guard oriented team that plays uptempo can knock of Baylor despite their size advantage. Not saying we will do it, but recent history says it can be done.

thats what i think ! get some rolls, a few calls go our way, baylor comes out even a tad sluggish, and we knock down big and of course difficult shots early then BAM ! your in a ball game

I think RO's point of view is fair, I believe all things considered we are probably a 10 point under dog. Still, I am hopeful expecting a good game. Who ever thought VCU or UNI would have made the runs they did.

I'd agree a double digit loss is the most probable result.

But then, as the saying goes, "that's why you play the game."
