Four of the seven players in Baylor’s rotation werent on the team last year … they’ve lost their top rebounder (JTT) and their leading scorer (Cryer) has been out for a month … yet the Bears are 24-5 & in line for a No. 1 seed … And no one is mentioning Scott Drew for COY? Wow

With four, 1st-year-at-Baylor players in his seven-man rotation, Scott Drew has *won a second straight Big 12 title *(most likely) secured a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Again. *notched more Quadrant 1 wins than any school in the country No other choice for Big 12 COY

I knew this Kansas team was challenged in terms of personnel, so I’m not shocked KU is having a lackluster season. What does surprise me, though, is that the Jayhawks aren’t improving. They’re getting worse. You never see that under Bill Self. His teams always get better.

Best play of that title game: Vital blocks Kispert, Butler comes up w/ the ball, races down the court for a fast-break layup, path gets block so he's SELFLESS enough to pull back & a cross-court pass to Flagler for a dagger 3 to make it 67-51 with 12:32 left. That was it.
