Re: Baylor

Granted they should be confident, they are the 3 seed, but putting yourselves srtaight into the elite 8? wow.

Definitely ridiculous. Our fans are ready at the idea to play Duke in the Sweet 16. We lost to them in the Elite 8 two years ago on a phantom chargecall and we are all bitter about it. SDSU didn't get to 27-7 by being a bad team. I hope we are ready to play.

Re: Baylor

Baylor opens as a 7.5 point favorite over the Jacks. I'll give you guys a question...

IF ... IF ... we shoot just as well against Baylor like we did against Washington ... do we win this game?

Nope....if we play defense and handle the ball, like we did against Washington.....then we win! I agree with their forum though....Seth Davis is a Dbag!

Re: Baylor

Hey guys, Our fans do seem to be looking past you but luckily they don't play. We are going to have to come and play a tough game to win. I'm hoping that since 4 of our 5 starters haven't played in the tourney before that they will come ready to play but you never know. If you have any questions about us let me know and I'll do our best.

Re: Baylor

Oops! the've already moved into the elite 8! I tell ya', once March Madness starts....its a barn burner!

Re: Baylor

I wouldn't worry too much about them overlooking us, the fans have already got the thread started about UNLV and the 2nd round. The good news is they are kind of Bizzzzzon colors.....so we can channel some energy. Confidence is good!

Re: Baylor

Alright boys looking forward to a great game. Heard a ton about some white kid ya'll have that can straight up ball. Should be a fun little game. Here are some of my initial worries basically knowing nothing about your team.

How Jackrabbits win:
1. Baylor has been horrible against the 3 ball when playing the Zone. If Drew (our coach) comes out in the zone, I might just crap myself. If you guys come in and can hit 3's..you have a great shot.

2. Downlow- Baylor has been wretched against powerful big men. I have no idea what your front line looks like but that is a major weakness.

3. Brady Heslip is a defensive liability

3. PJAX our point guard gets in foul trouble..we cannot really operate without him on court. Although Walton has been on fire of late.

How Baylor wins:

1. Baylor has lock down and I mean lock down defenders in AJ Walton and Deuce Bello. That does not bode well for your superstar if this trend continues.

2. We show up with intensity and passion. We lose games because we seem absent, and showing up is a huge part of our success.

Our Starters-

P. Jackson- super quick, lethal and jump starts our offense. Has missed short shots and layups as of late.

Heslip- knock down 3 point shooter and has a dirty teardrop. Defense ehhh not so much.

Quincy Miller- Top 10 recruit out of Chicago. Super good in the paint. Can turn the ball over but can hit the 3

Quincy Acy- Turnover prone but the absolute heart of this team. Will crash boards and bring intensity. DUNK MONSTER

PJ3- When he does show up..watch out. Athletic freak, can hit every shot. My only concern is him not taking it to the basket and settling for fadeaways. If this happens yall once again have a shot.


Hope to hear more about the jackrabbits!!

Re: Baylor

Will a much larger BU team be kept off the boards?

The funny thing is, the games I thought we were the most over-matched on the front line were the games we rebounded surprising well as a team.

The Jackrabbits out-rebounded the Gophers when they still had Mbawke and Buffalo, who's one of the top rebounding teams in the country, when we faced off against them.

This might be because in the game prep we knew we were going in undersized and put an emphasis on team rebounding going into those games. I'd assume this will be the same point of emphasis against Baylor, and though we probably won't out-rebound the Bears, we need to keep the margin close to have a chance to win.

Looks like a typical 3 vs 14 match-up. Jacks are going to have to play absolutely perfect while Baylor will need to darn near fall flat on their faces.

We get it. You have the better team on paper.

However, last time I checked, we won't play the game on paper.

Re: Baylor

No way the Jackrabbits can compete with a team made up of such superior athletes, can't happen. It was a good year but Jacks are just overmatched here. Any Baylor fans can just assume a victory similar to the women's game 3 years ago. Jackrabbits had no chance then either.

Re: Baylor

You'll see BU do incredible things on the court, then Wtf things as well. If BU comes out locked in like they did vs KU it could be a long day. I expect Coach Drew to run Bello, Walton, and Jackson at Wolters. Can he guard those three or Heslip? Will a much larger BU team be kept off the boards?
