1. I know I’m probably not the first one to ask, but why does AJ Walton start for Baylor if Pierre Jackson plays 27 minutes a game? Like, what’s the point? Any Baylor fans reading this, help me out.
2. Earlier this week, after the Kansas State game, one of my friends texted me “Quincy Acy is a man!” and he is indeed, but if there’s one guy in the Big 12 that can put a body on him and make him change his game, it’s Jurick.
3. Listen, I know everybody pays players (yes, OSU included), but it’s very hard for me to believe this collection of athletes Baylor put together was done so under circumstances that wouldn’t be frowned upon by people who work for and with Mark Emmert. I mean if you gave these guys a bunch of white shirts and told them to go play a pick up game agains five random guys and said “what college is this?” The answer would be UConn, Kentucky, or Carolina. That’s it.
4. Strong first half from Markel which makes me think he was really hurting the last few weeks. Obviously he doesn’t usually hit threes (which he is) but he’s also been driving hard to the bucket which is absolutely what he should be doing. Also, he has 14 and the rest of the team has 17.
5. I don’t want to watch the second half. I can’t stomach this.
Answer to #1: No idea. Maybe bc we are undefeated with him as a starter and Drew is superstitious? The loudest ovation the BU crowd gives is when Pierre enters the game at the 17:30 mark.
Haha, that’s a pretty good reason I guess. Why change it?
I don’t know the answer to #1 but my first thought is that it could be similar to the Thunder’s situation with Harden-Sefolosha.
You already know this but I cosign #3
Me and my friends were talking about #3 the other day, wouldn’t be surprised if they get hit with sanctions in a few years
OSU or Baylor?
We haven’t been getting a very good return on our investment in #3 the last few years…
#1 has to be similar to James Harden. Harden plays the 3rd most minutes for the Thunder. plays better coming off the bench.
#1 I think Drew just likes what he brings off the bench, we’ve had a tendency to start off slow, and he brings a nice pick me up a few minutes in
