Imagine waltzing to a national title by dominating every single team in your path. Their smallest margin of victory was 9 pts vs Arkansas. They won by an avg margin of 15.3 pts. And they did it without getting lucky and facing a double digit seed later in the tourney. They beat a 16, 9, 5, 3, 2, and then the overall 1 seed. Props to Baylor.
What was amazing is that 2016 was the year that Villanova won the championship game on a last second shot.
It would have been much worse than Oregon. Like if Oregon had giant rebounding machines on the inside in addition to the wings and guards.
Man Baylor just smoked them. Never in doubt. Congrats to Baylor, impressive tournament run.
Okay sure thing my guy. I have an opinion that people take things too far when that is all they post about in here and bringing no other conversation. Isn’t that a difference of opinion like you say? Or nah?
I’m relaxed as all get out. Maybe you don’t need to attack my posts when you weren’t even brought up and take them so seriously? Just a thought though.
Have a good night.

The old days of knocking Baylor's Elite Eight runs because of who they beat were sad, but they're definitely over.
If he hasnt left yet, he probably never will.
Its just incredible what he's accomplished there. Taking over a program where one player literally murdered another, that had had one ncaa appearance (a first round loss) in the prior 50 years and taking them to multiple sweet 16s, 3 elite 8s, and a championship. Like I think most people realize its a great build he's done there, but even then its still understated.
He is a helluva coach. It does seem to be understated what kind of job he has done in Waco. He will stay at Baylor but he should be the first call of any top notch program with an opening going forward.

Trying to be fair to Iowa fans, this must be how they feel when ISU fans bring up Troy Davis and Seneca Wallace. Great players but what did they win?
With Seneca you can point to a very long and prosperous pro career. The Troy Davis comp is probably on the money if we're all honest in terms of just gaudy stats on teams that didn't really win anything.
My guess is Chip and Joanna Gaines will be having another kid in 9 months, barf
With four extra teams to draw from and ridiculously high seeds that make it seem almost rigged.
12-8 Ohio State sure proved the Big Ten needed that 4th top 8 seed. 50% of the top 8 seeds. What a joke.
The games are physical in conference and the tournament. This was no exception. But the way Baylor played defense was artistic and nothing like Huggie ball a couple years ago. Watching them against Houston I just kept thinking, hands and feet. They are so good with both.
Maybe Drew will go to the NBA. Otherwise, Baylor might be hard to beat for a long time.
