Baylor is going to run Xavier off the court

smarotta09 · 03-23-12, 01:15 AM

i hope so, thinking about going big on them

Doubt. Low IQ team, and especially their coach. Baylor is prime fade material.

Xavier may have the best back court left in the tourney, Heslip will never hit 9 three's again in his life

LOL... Xavier will win or lose by 2.

Way too big and athletic, all Xavier has is small guards that can play.

Baylor by 20 easy.

See Baylor/Mizzou x3

Xavier is lucky to be this far. They got an easy third round match-up and let them stay in the game throughout. They should have trounced Lehigh. It was painful seeing how bad Lehigh was playing and equally painful to see Xavier not take advantage of that.

I think folks are underestimating Xavier. There are no easy games any more in the tournament. This Xavier team is excellent defensively. IMO, this is a game where if Perry Jones continues to play Ghost, Baylor loses outright. This is a match-up where he should easily get a double-double, but the way he's playing so far - I'd bet against that. Baylor's guards are going to be challenged in this one and won't found nearly as much room to operate as they've seen in the 1st two rounds. I think the key for Xavier is getting a solid game from Frease. They need his rebounding and if he scores 10 pts. or so, that's a bonus against Baylor's bigs.

The last game [Lehigh] was the last game. They won, that's all that matters in the end.

Syracuse was lucky to make it out of the first round, what is your point?

They probably shouldn't be a 6pt dog to Baylor. Thought that was pretty clear. JMO though.

We'll see. Sometimes, when these stupid teams get up big, it's the best thing that could happen to the underdog.

ebbearsfb1 · 03-23-12, 06:50 PM

Already threw out my plus 6 ticket.. these knee grow are garbage

BernardMadoff · 03-23-12, 07:04 PM

Baylor plays stupid, yea you would think it would be easy with the athletes they have, the length and it probably should, but its chess not checkers and when you have Baylor's coach its seems to never be a sure thing.

krk1030 · 03-23-12, 07:28 PM

Baylor is not lehigh or ND, xavier made a run, but there not coming all the way back.

They could, they just gotta make shots, Baylor mostly plays on athleticism, should be mixing it up more, high lows, screen and rolls, dribble penetration, Xavier plays much smarter, they just dont have the athletes.

BernardMadoff · 03-23-12, 07:50 PM

What a dumb team.

BernardMadoff · 03-23-12, 08:00 PM

All those bigs, Baylor should have about 15 dunks at this point, their not trying to get easy baskets, very limited bball IQ, coach's fault. Jackson doesnt penetrate to set up the bigs, he just wants to shoot 3's, most of the bigs just want to shoot jumpers, this bunch doesnt deserve a guy like Acy. If they ran high lows, Xavier wouldnt be able to stop it, they havent set a screen in umpteen possessions and tried to get an easy bucket.

the_orangekat · 03-23-12, 08:04 PM

If X makes 1/3rd of those 3's, this is a different game. Bad call saying they would run them off the court.

krk1030 · 03-23-12, 08:05 PM

With this pace, this game is over.

Spread, still much in question, but xavier aint winning.

krk1030 · 03-23-12, 08:06 PM

It's not like they are missing wide open 3's, there only good looks have been inside.

krk1030 · 03-23-12, 08:07 PM

lol horrible play by lyons.

He had a clear path from 5 feet behind the 3 pt line, did he really think the defense would not rotate over?

ebbearsfb1 · 03-23-12, 08:08 PM

Xavier panicked down the street

ebbearsfb1 · 03-23-12, 08:08 PM

Xavier panicked down the stretch

BernardMadoff · 03-23-12, 08:14 PM

Game shouldnt be this close or in question, coaching makes a huge difference. No reason Baylor shouldnt have 4 fouls on or have fouled out at least one of Xavier's bigs by now.

ebbearsfb1 · 03-23-12, 08:17 PM

Xavier can't shot a 3 to save their lives... and d falls apart

BernardMadoff · 03-23-12, 08:32 PM

Lol its now a 5 point game, makes no sense, which is why I parlayed the moneyline, cant play spreads with poorly coached teams.

BigDofBA · 03-23-12, 08:38 PM

Another stellar SBR thread. LOLOLOL. I love these.

Cash Xavier +6.5!
