Fighting Ricky Ps vs Baylor Thread

[EliteBlue]

St. John’s dominating the first half.

Up 15.

If this holds and continues I think it has to devalue that Gonzaga blowout a little. If Baylor get stomped twice in their first 5 games then they are clearly flawed.

Let’s see if St.Johns can keep this pace for another 28 min

Travis Ford is a better commentator than Kyle Macy.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

But Arkansas couldn't beat Baylor lol at Cal.

Agree.

This game is def bringing that Gonzaga game Into perspective though. Anyone who felt like we were likely to lose that game on the road has to feel a little better seeing that it was just as much about Baylor being mediocre than it was Gonzaga being dominant

It also makes Arkansas even worse than they appear.

Still early in the year so who knows, but this is a crappy look for Baylor. And for Arky.

 

[bluefaithful]

Indiana only up 5 against UNC Greensboro 2nd half

 

[EliteBlue]

Baylor making a little push here in the opening 5 min.

Can they maintain the momentum? Or does SJ take the lunch and counter strike

I’m glad the Baylor and Arky coaches are where they are

I appreciate Drew thinking about coming here. He's not a bad coach. He's just not a good culture fit.
Cal was a good culture fit and then became a crappy coach.

I'm glad Cal is down in Fayetteville. He can weep gently into all that Walmart money.

 

[ukjenning44]

Getting interesting

 

[EliteBlue]

Scott drew with some solid halftime adjustments and the bears are back in it.

St. John’s not looking as crisp or quick. Playing like they took NyQuil at halftime up 15.

 

[yoshukai]

I’ve already been “Poped” . When I watch other games I’m always saying “why didn’t he shoot that! “ lol

 

[bluefaithful]

Gonzaga is good

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

The johnnies hanging tough

 

[yoshukai]

St John’s would be up 15 if they would just secure the rebound!

 

[Bluesnky]

On paper, coming into this year were there any transfer portal winners above these two teams? Roach-Omier and Richmond-Smith.

 

[crawfords corner]

*lol. nm. its football.

VJ Edgecombe is going to be a really nice player.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

It's nice to see a game between good teams and think we could beat both these guys.

I haven't had that feeling in a while.

 

[blubo]

baylor getting away with a lot of rough play

 

[Bluesnky]

Is Wilcher for St. John’s any kin to Kyle Wilcher?

 

[Lempface]

Saw this coming a mile away

 

[Lempface]

Is Wilcher for St. John’s any kin to Kyle Wilcher?

You mean is Wilcher kin to Wiltjer?

One has partial dutch ancestry...

They're cousins.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Headed to OT

 

[Bluesnky]

They're cousins.

I knew it.

 

[bbncal02]

Headed to OT

Not sure who needs this win more, Drew or Rick.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

All the contact in this game and they call that a foul?

 

[Kyhoward]

I’m glad the Baylor and Arky coaches are where they are

Amen! Of course, we all know CCC cannot coach.
Baylor looks like a carbon copy of COW’s last 5 UK teams. Loaded with talent but no offense. All one-on-one, no cutting, setting picks or any semblance of team play. Very, very happy with “our” coach.

aylor looks like a carbon copy of COW’s last 5 UK teams. Loaded with talent but no offense.

Baylor fans have been complaining about how he doesn't have an offense for a while now. I never wanted him here and I'm really glad either him or his family decided they didn't want to come to Lexington.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Double OT

 

[ukjenning44]

I love college bb

9 missed FTs by the Johnny's

 

[kyboy1998]

I’ve always been a St Johns fan. Secondary to the cats obviously.

I keep up with them and now that our former coach is there I just want them to win.

Catholic reasons and catholic that isn’t Notre Dame and basketball from the 80s.

 

[bbncal02]

Say what you will, but Baylor has fought and clawed, got respect that.

I'm rooting for Rick.. even before he made his pseudo return to the BBN the last few months. I think he might be the best college coach we've seen in modern day basketball, and pretty much everywhere he went, whether it was UK, UofL, Greece, Iona.. he did well. And I'd say the trend continues at SJU. If not the best Xs and Os coach, one of for sure. He's the epitome of "doing more with less".

Did he leave UK the right way? No, he didnt. Is he a model citizen? Probably not. But in no way do I believe guys like Coach K or Bill Self are any better of people.. they're just better at not getting caught.

Idk, I'm a fan.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Hey kid, the clock is more important than scoring right there.

 

[kyboy1998]

I know it sounds stupid but I have always followed them. I even still hate that they poked Kenny Walkers eyes.

I have followed them forever and the Lou Gif is great.
