So we're playing Baylor...

[Cusefan0307]

If we played like we did in Charlotte we will win. I hope JB is willing to go small if Oshae doesn’t have it.

I rather play a zone then a pressure d team. Oshae has been a lot better and will be a key.

I feel pretty good about this matchup.

Baylor Bears College Basketball - Baylor News, Scores, Stats, Rumors & More - ESPN

They lost their last 4 and 10-8 in Big 12

Pretty small lineup.

34% from 3-point land

Baylor is a small team

2018-19 Men's Basketball Roster - Baylor University Athletics

Only have 3 forwards on roster, no center
Tallest guy who plays significant minutes is 6-9
Must play four guard lineups

what's the status of that mikai mason dude?

He played the last three games with a bruised toe and was somewhat ineffective. When healthy he's a solid player with a bball IQ that's off the charts.

bad omen. we lost to butler in salt lake

Oh ffs.

Good things about playing Baylor:

- They play a zone as well so they won’t lut much ball pressure on us
- They don’t score very well in the paint
- They turn it over a decent amount and don’t force turnovers
- They foul a lot
- They aren’t that good from the line
- Despite being a good 3pt shooting team all year, they were ice cold the last month
- They aren’t big; their most used lineup is 6’a, 6’3, 6’3, 6’7, 6’8

Bad things about playing Baylor
- They’re beasts on the offensive glass and don’t allow a lot of offensive boards on defense
- they get to the line a decent amount

We shoot better from the FT line than they do

We can beat Baylor and Zags if we play our best. Zags are frequently overrated and not overly physical. Much better match up for us than like a Tennessee or Michigan State and any of the ACC teams. Too bad FSU is in our bracket in event we get out of first weekend. They are a terrible match up for us. But id we make Sweet 16 I'd be VERY happy.

gimme the better offensive team and bad defensive team than vice versa. we're gonna lose in the tourny cuz of our offensive struggles, if we score in the 70s we/80s we're gonna win.

We just need to out rebound them

Utah Jazz GM's son plays for Baylor (although now suffered a career injury) so Baylor will get 1st rate treatment in SLC.

Is the game on the Utah campus or at the jazz building?

 

[hoopsupstate]

Baylor is athletic and can’t shoot 3’s

Wrong. They shoot the three well.

And Marek. His game is so much better vs a zone. He will slashing and dashing and weaving and achieving.

FSU is by far the best 4 seed, imo. they are the best team in the west region, imo...was hoping they would not be in SU's bracket but I guess it makes sense that they shouldn't have to face UNC, Duke or UVA before final four either...

Don't count the chickens before they hatch.

How did St. John's get in? Net ranking 73 is 10 spots lower than next lowest team. Some in 50's left out.

My own theory is that - at times, for certain coaches - the selection committee includes marginal teams if it helps out that coach. My guess is they see Mullin as a big enough name they wanted to protect; rumor was he was going to get retired if they didn’t make the NCAAs this year.

It’s at Vivant Home Arena, where the Jazz play...It’s a way nice place in downtown SLC.

Usually I would be in on this challenge but I’ve got to be up before 6 Friday morning, Anish.
