Is it me or is Baylor’s hand checking out of control?

 

[orangeinnyc]

Baylor’s guards are too good. Don’t see Gonzaga being able to stop them enough down the stretch

 

[JDubbin]

Baylor doesn't miss open 3's. Like, at all.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Woof

 

[Oakland]

That one hurt

 

[UpstateSM]

Is it me or is Baylor’s hand checking out of control?

It’s a solid strategy. Refs aren’t going to call it every time.

 

[OrangeDW]

That may be the knockout punch.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Baylor guards are elite. With perfect compliment of other pieces. Team is perfectly built. I envy them a lot.

 

[OrangeDW]

It’s a solid strategy. Refs aren’t going to call it every time.

They should. I amazed that this discussion has been going on for like 15 years.

 

[RF2044]

Kispert and Timme can get away putting the ball on the floor against most teams, but not against these kinds of athletes. That's the second [I can recall] major league swat Baylor has had off of a Kispert drive. And that drive where Timme got the ball knocked away / fell down -- too many swift hands.

 

[Melancer46]

Think that might be all she wrote. Extremely impressive performance by Baylor tonight.

 

[JDubbin]

Jared Butler out here looking like mini Dame Lillard

 

[Orangezoo]

It sucks Scott Drew is gonna get a title before Few.

 

[RF2044]

They should. I amazed that this discussion has been going on for like 15 years.

15 years?

I remember it being a staple of Georgetown's defensive play back in the early '80s.

They dared refs to call fouls, and they wouldn't every possession, so they got away with way more than they should most possessions. Enabled them to dictate how the game flowed.

 

[Jasoncuse]

This Baylor loaded backcourt is like some of Pitino’s Louisville teams on steroids. Speed, shooting, playmaking. It’s crazy. Gonzaga can’t win because Baylor refuses to let them cut the lead under 10 because their guards are too good.

 

[Cusefan0307]

It sucks Scott Drew is gonna get a title before Few.

Yah. Baylor is a scummy athletic program.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Kispert and Timme can get away putting the ball on the floor against most teams, but not against these kinds of athletes. That's the second [I can recall] major league swat Baylor has had off of a Kispert drive.

Kispert is pretty limited when not hitting threes. He missed a wide open Timme when he got his drive rejected.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Teague made ten threes in a game this season.


He is the fifth highest % shooter on the team.

 

[thebigeast44]

This game showing why it's so hard to go undefeated - Zags not playing up to their capability and you simply cannot do that against the other best team in the nation - Baylor getting the job done thus far...

 

[CU44SE]

Baylor deffinetly doing the approach of fouling 100 times but only getting called 22 times. But their offense is beautiful to watch.

 

[Oakland]

Baylor pushing off with his arm

Yeah. I feel like it became the default defense for most teams out there like 15 years ago. UConn, Pitt, Buzz Williams’ Marquette, Stevens’ Butler teams, etc.

I hate it.

I hate it.

But look how "tough" they look doing it!

 

[djcon57]

This is o-ver

 

[Orangezoo]

Baylor plays fast physical and can get you with the bounce but reality is if you can make a lot of 3s pretty much every night, defend pretty well and have some legit bigs, you can win a ton of games in today's version of hoops.
