We'd never lose if we played like we did in the 1st half in every game. I've never seen a Baylor basketball team just come out on fire like that and simultaneously shut another team down. Some of that was VT not hitting shots. They had some open ones but for the most part we were playing with a ton of energy on defense.
Like many of you, I got a little nervous in the 2nd half. It would just seem so "Baylor" for us to find a way to choke that game away. Fortunately, we held on. In truth, I'm not that worried about the run the Hokies went on. We were up by 28 and you could tell the guys mentally let up. They just weren't the same after that.
Like Virginia Tech, I haven't the slightest idea what Auburn's team is like. I know that if we keep playing like we're capable, it's Hello NY.
Girls Beat UTSA in OT
Now that made me nervous. I don't even want to know what it did to Coach Mulkey. I pictured her in her hospital bed with a radio and going nuts jumping on the bed like Shooter from Hoosiers. Let's hope she's back on the sidelines for Tuesday.
Baseball Sweeps Tech
Elite teams sweep non-elite conference opponents. Good to see that we did that over the weekend. We now find ourselves in a 5 team logjam in 3rd place. The 1st and 2nd place teams (KU and OU) have only played one series. I like where we're at now considering we started conference on the bad end of a split with the aggies. We'll start covering baseball a little more when basketball winds down.
Edit: Baseball lost on Sunday so they didn't sweep afterall and now have an overall conference record of 3-3
