Re: Baylor

Is there really though? Physical play is physical play. I understand the athletic ability of those teams, including Baylor, dwarfs ours at many positions, but I think Tony Fiegen is a pretty strong kid. He'll force those guys to muscle him around, he won't back down. Neither will Griff. That's the type of play to which I refer. I'm not asking them to be Thomas Robinson or Ricardo Ratliffe. Just to box out hard, hold their ground, and force Baylor to go through them to get baskets.

We need to manhandle Baylor like we did to Buffalo in the bracketbuster game. All week long we heard about how they were one of the best rebounding teams in the country and had a couple good power forwards and we took it to them from the start. Sometimes you punch a bully in the mouth and they stop being a bully pretty quickly.

Re: Baylor

There is a difference between SDSU playing physical and a team like Mizzou, Kansas, or K-State playing physical. The Jacks just need to go out, play their game, and let the chips fall where they may. Baylor isn't going to be intimidated by anything we do just like the Jacks won't be intimidated by anything Baylor does.

Re: Baylor

I agree with this. Indiana is average away from Assembly Hall. Baylor is an incredibly tough matchup. I'd rather play any of the other 3 seeds.

As one might imagine, I watch a ton of Big 12 basketball. We have to play physical from the get-go. Baylor has the tendency to shy away from physical play. If we play physical and can hit some shots to start the game, our chances improve dramatically.

I would think they play man from the start as well. They'd be out of their minds to play their soft zone against us.

Re: Baylor

even though I think calling Scott Drew dirty is the single DUMBEST thing that I've ever heard on the internets, and that is saying something!!!!!!!!

You have obviously have not seen some of the posts of a certain bison poster. Truly outrageous.

Re: Baylor

I would much rather play #4 Indiana,especially after their point guard blew his knee out over the week-end.

Re: Baylor

Guys, we have a "smack" section. I strongly suggest the allegations about a crooked program are out of bounds in the Jackrabbit Men's Basketball section. No one has ever come up with any shred of evidence of problems in the program since Coach Drew took over. As a result, we have one of those "did too," "did not" "did too" "did not" things going on.

Back to decaf for some of you.

see how calm I'm being and how I'm staying out of it...

Honestly I would rather go up against PJIII than Cody Zeller because PJIII is hit or miss. I hope I don't end up eating my words though.

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.

Re: Baylor

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

It's an internet fan forum site. Stupidity is rampant. We all say stupid crap one time or another on here. We all get in stupid fights at one time or another around here. I see the same things on your board as well. of course you are going to rise up if someone says your program is dirty. It's an ongoing national debate: Are there any programs that can truly follow every stupid little rule the NCAA puts out there? No. I'm sure SDSU has broken a rule or two in its day.
I think it just shows passion of the fanbases. When you get really passionate sometimes logic goes out the window, then the stupidity flows like.......

Re: Baylor

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.

Right or wrong, the perception across most of America is that big time college athletics are dirty (whatevery that means). If you don't believe that, you have been spending too much time in the BaylorFans echo chamber. I wouldn't bet on any top 25 team's "cleanliness" in football or basketball. SEC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12, Big East, all of the major conferences have had teams with pretty major violations.

Baylor is part of big time college athletics, so in some people's mind its guilt by association. Throw in some pretty interesting happenings in the last decade at YOUR school, and it isn't that far of a stretch for people to make off hand comments.
