Baylor is an extremely athletic team so SU would not have any advantage in an up and down game. Their half court sets are similar to ours, meaning they struggle considerably during stretches. Watched them beat WVA during some Thanksgiving holiday tournament, WVA played them tough and could've just as easily pulled out the victory with a few breaks down the stretch.
 
Keeping things real, SU needs improvement on their offensive sets to truly be dominate. They certainly can be beat by Baylor, UK, OSU or a solid team that protects the ball and doesn't turn it over in droves, to really think otherwise is overly subjective. This weekend's Providence game was close (and our offense stagnant) until we put on the press and got all them turnovers...assisted tremendoulsy by Counsil being out. I think that the amount of turnovers we have been getting and points off same, somewhat masks this deficiency. It will be interesting to see the efficiency of our offensive sets as the BE schedule gets more challenging and we don't go on such quite big runs fueled by all them turnovers.
 
In my opinion, this will ultimately determine how successful we are come March...as the tourney is typically a half court affair.
