#6 Baylor on the clock

It's early, however...

Last year, we were #3 in the country in 3 point shooting (39.3%).

This year, we are #308 (29.5%).

Baylor is currently #2 (43.2%).

Baylor also has a FR 6'5" SG who might go Top 10 in the draft, and a 7' FR who might sneak into the 1st Round.

Seems like Mady or Coop will have to defend against their big. Can't expect Hall to step up, as they have a decent 6'9" guy he'll have to guard.

Negative nancy...

Akins got em.

We will shock the WORLD!!!

Skullfuck time!!!

Big deal. What’s the the benefit of having a 5 who is a first round pick?

Just throwing out some stats. They haven't played a super tough schedule. We traditionally defend the 3 pretty well. I'd guess we'll need to shoot 35%+ and hold them to less than that to make it a game.

Sissoko (God Love him) just cant do what is needed. I would venture to guess he would throw himself off Beaumont if Izzo told him to, but secure a board and putback dunk are just learned behaviors he don't got yet... Now Cooper, he should/does have some of those chops. No reason he's not getting 10 on rolling to the hoop and putbacks. And Booker... Izzo will just have to throw him to the wolves. Be "the man"... not a stick figure hiding out in the corner hoping for an open 3 look.

All other things being equal, if those 3 can scrape 15 pts and 12 boards on being ACTIVE. I like our chances.

If we get 15 and 12 out of the 5 (and our 3 point shooting improves)....

LET'S GO!!!
