Free throws and defense continue to be issues. Thanks to our performance at the foul line, Baylor had a chance to win it and couldn't get it done. We may not have been so lucky had that been against Nova.

If we can figure it out from the foul line... Look out.

Prison Bitch · 02-01-2017, 10:45 PM

First time a school has 9 straight home wins vs top 5

Depends whether they improve their defense (watch the last possession and you know they could be doing far better than they have if they expended the effort). That and luck considering it's a 68 team single elimination tournament.

To be fair, Drew didn't call that terrible of a game, and you would think the ****ING POINT GUARD could catch a simple pass.

But yeah, normally I agree. Drew recruits these all world mother****ers and then play 7th grade ball.

Granted I've never been in AFH for the Border War days, but tonight was the loudest arena I have ever been in. My ears are ringing hardcore right now. What a game.

Few games have reached the level that the Border War did in 2012.

Today and last year's epic showdown against Oklahoma were definitely there.

I don't think the border war games were loud in AFH save for the last couple years, when MU fielded a team.

The high profile games, like this one, UT in the Durant year, etc. That's when AFH goes crazy.

I didn't start watching KU sports until 2012-2013, so thanks for that info. Whenever I think of KU-MU games, I think of the one that I have actually watched and that was the last Border War game of course.

There has been so much talk on social media and around Lawrence about how the student section and AFH in general had seemed off and dulled down this year. Maybe it was prior to tonight, but I seriously think that the reason for any of that is because of the completely weak home slate KU has had this year. I mean, there's only so much you can do to pump the crowd up for marquee non-con games against Stanford and Nebraska. Even if it is Allen Fieldhouse.. people can't pretend to be excited about playing the UNC-Asheville's of the country.

Tonight was unreal, and I doubt we see anymore student news articles putting the students on blast for the rest of this year. It feels good to be able to be proud of the school that you go to or went to. It's something that I will most-definitely always appreciate until the day that I die. I have been on the other side of things, at a school where no one gives a shit about the school or have any pride in it.. and it just sucked. This place is ****ing awesome.

Rock Chalk.

Sure there are other leagues, like going to Europe, but I still don't think it is right.

And I'm a little surprised that the courts go along with a rule that says even though you are 18 and legally an adult, we are going to make you go play college, without any pay beyond room and board, for a year before you can be drafted. I don't see what the compelling interest is that allows for such a straight up age discrimination.

It's a union, and like any union they can set any restrictions for becoming a member as long as it isn't based on race, religion, etc. And there have been players to go overseas since the 1 year rule was implemented. The NFL rule is you have to be 2 years removed from your high school graduating class.

All you guys bagging on Drew.... I used to as well... But he's figured out how to coach defense and its made all of the difference in the world. Guy has definitely learned on the job . Hes up for a huge raise and or a bigger job soon

I disagree. It's the exact same defense he has been coaching since he got to Baylor. He has had teams in the past that were effective in the zone, but if teams hit their perimeter shots, Drew doesn't have a backup plan. He doesn't/cannot/did not make adjustments, no matter how many times Duke Vitale says otherwise. He did take over a dead in the water shitshow and made it a mid-high program, but with the talent he has recruited over the years, his coaching ability is what has kept Baylor from being as good as they should be.

When Roy Williams took over at KU, he took kids that were mid-major talen wise, and turned them into Final Four teams. Bill Self has won whatever conference he coached in something like 17 out of 24 years as a head coach. Other than recruiting, what has Scott Drew done? Not much.
