Who Were Those Guys?

Far be it for me to complain about a win. I hope those guys show up for the rest of the games this season. We played something that resembled defense and basically executed what my plan to beat OU was. Fast start? Check. Other team in foul trouble? Check. Production from an unusual source? Anthony Jones Check.

Now we get a week off to get ready for OSU in Stillwater. That game and Texas are the two toughest games left on the schedule. Hypotheticaly, if we find a way to win out, things could get real interesting. I think as of now, we are still on the outside looking in for the big dance. Finish the conference at 8-8 and then win a couple in the tournament and we at least give ourselves a shot.

If the season ended today we would be the 8th seed playing A&M again in the first round. A win there and we have a date with OU in Oklahoma City. That is obviously not what we want. Despite what happened Saturday, the aggies are still a match up problem for us. The good news is that with the schedule, we have a real shot at the 5th seed. That gets us a rematch with Colorado in all likelihood. A win there and we play someone like Texas or K-State who we match up better with. I think we are capable of winning out and go 9-7 but it much more probable we end at 8-8. I just don't trust this team yet.

All of these match ups in the conference tournament are purely speculative at this point. There are 5 games to play and there are 8 teams within 4 games of each other. We'll obviously know more at the end of this week about who might get slotted where and what match ups are likely.

Other than that, it is a slow week in Baylor sportsdom. I'll be back in Waco this weekend for a wedding and catching a baseball game. Reports will come after the weekend. I may even throw in some random stuff this week as well.

Later kids,
