I will breakout the burnt orange tonight. Go Cows!
If you believe in miracles and renewing Liberace’s contract … then Go Kitties!
While not required, a little assistance would be welcomed.

I hold out little hope for the kitties being able to win in Lubbock. Sixteen teams tried there and sixteen teams died there, and I don’t expect the kitties to end that spree this season.
I would not at all mind being wrong this time.
You will never grasp how much it pains me as a Texas A&M Aggie as well as KANSAS Jayhawk (first and foremost and forever) to say this - I really want tu to win tonight.
Sure, KU wins 3 straight and it makes no difference.
But I’m never one to turn down some insurance just in case.

No help tonight! Well KU will just have to win out. Now someone please explain how Baylor has become so good these last several years. Seriously, it is mind boggling that Drew is getting the players of this caliber to freaking Waco, Tx…Despise him and Bu fans..the criminal history of thr Bu sports program with Briles and Bliss, they should not be allowed to field teams…

A big part of it is Drew growing as a coach.
Always used to play almost exclusively zone D.
Didn't become a truly tough nut to crack until he realized that wasn't going to get it done if he wanted to be on top and started coaching man-to-man.
As to the level of talent -- there have only been a few guys he's brought in that were Top 25ers, and a lot of his finds have been trasnfers. Credit to his staff, they are getting it done on the trail. (As to how? ???)

HE, Drew and his staff deserve a ton of credit, and I should have stated as much, I was frustrated that they pulled it out last night.
As for the how, my concern is Baylor somehow is still fielding teams in FB and MBB after the “criminal” activities in the past. Teams, SMU, were given the “death” penalty by the NCAA for a lot less. I am not saying Drew or the current players are responsible or deserved to pay for sins of the past, but if KU gets hammered by the IARP yet Baylor continues to operate an athletics then there is a lot wrong with NCAA.
