Baylor Game Thread

I’m a little lost…did you mean in real life? If so, unfortunately Tony has changed his home, office and cell numbers and I’m no longer allowed within 5 miles of JPJ. He’s such a kidder.

I really wanted the end of this sentence to be “clapping his hands.”

He needs to put together a montage of him doing all his everyday activities – brushing his teeth, eating breakfast, driving to work – all while clapping his hands.

Love our guys but -5 is very generous of Vegas.

I personally agree, but tend to find Vegas knows better than most. I really am hoping for a well played, tightly contested game from the Hoos. Win or loss that would be nice

KenPom thinks Baylor wins by 1, which feels ludicrous.

Yeah, it’s obvious we are going to win by 4

Think this is a really rough early season matchup for us, their super athletic guards shoot lights out from 3 and their no-middle pressure defense is consistently one of the most disruptive in the country.

Hoos by 30.

What is no middle pressure defense? Just fan out to the 3 and give you the middle?

Pretty much. They’re gonna ice ball screens past the perimeter and force you baseline, then trap you in that corner and zone up to try and force a turnover. Same defensive philosophies as Chris Beard and Mark Adams but with a few tweaks.

This hoopvision68 video explains it with more detail than I ever could. Baylor no-middle

Got it. I remember someone saying was like the TTU D we played against in Minny. Sounds a lot like what Dean Smith ran lotta years ago… they always made the corner so enticing and then locked everything down

Probably has some things borrowed from Smith. To be fair though I’m pretty sure El Deanno invented like 75% of the defenses that are commonly ran today lol.
