1st. Game: ASU or Baylor?

[Erik4Cy]

How many games the past 6 weeks have we played up to 90% of our potential?

Off the top of my head, probably like half?

After looking:

Destroyed CU by 30
Destroyed KSU by 34
Beat KU by 18
Beat HOU by 3
24-0 run to beat ASU by 21.

Which team do you want to play as our first game in KC? I think we match up better vs. ASU, Baylor's athleticism scares me.

Conf. Tourney. Matchups:

I'm going to say we'd excel playing ASU in KC!!

Definitely ASU

I don't know guys, we might have beat Baylor by 60.

How was Baylor not better this year? They have two first-round NBA picks and a good coach in Drew.

I agree Drew is a good coach - but since McCasland left BU, they haven't been the same. At first, I thought the loss of Tang was the reason for some of their recent struggles. That probably hurt them a little bit in recruiting, but the coaching level definitely dropped once McCasland left.

I think they've essentially turned over their roster two years in a row. I believe their starting 5 were all transfers/newcomers this year. No continuity.

McCasland left prior to their natty run though.....so who knows?

They've been really good since McCasland left after the '15-'16 season, including the '21 National Championship. They only had one really good season while McCasland was there, the '11-'12 Elite 8 team. The other years were a team that missed the tournament, a team that went .500 in conference and made a run to the Sweet 16, and two good but not great teams that lost in the first round of the NCAAs.

This. It's a program of mercenaries, even their own student body and fans have no attachment to those guys. Soulless is the word that comes to mind. It's an empty program, and frankly, Drew should probably move on at this point. Though I'm more than happy to see BU continue to struggle, I'm good with that.

I vote ASU

Thanks for the correction. I had my facts mixed up - thought he was there for their 'Ship.

Appreciate the correction to my info - I gotta do better at checking sources before posting!
