Baylor 1/13 8:00 ESPN

[Rufus]

I'm wondering if since the B12 has a half dozen teams in the top 25 if it was intentional to have our Bearcats play them all early in the schedule so as to indoctrinate the 'cats properly.

Baylor lost a kid to the transfer portal earlier this week - Dantwan Grimes, a teammate of Day Day Thomas' at Kilgore.

Grimes probably wasn't getting enough playing time in his mind (8.3 min/g). He showed that he really can shoot (18/30 FG, 8/12 3pt, 12/15 FT).

Chad Brendel described Ja-Kobe Walter as a probable Top 5 NBA pick. He's a 6'5" SG. I assume that John Newman will try to chase Walter all over the floor.

The Bears have six players averaging in double figures, led by Walter. They are the #1 3-point shooting team in the country at 43.3%. Per barttorvik.com, BU are the #4 offensive efficiency team, but only #92 at the defensive end. They are an average tempo team. Kenpom.com ranks the Bears #4 in offensive efficiency and #69 defensive. Barttorvik.com ranks them #18 overall, while kenpom.com has them #14. The Cats currently are #44 and #32, respectively.

Per Baylor ticketing, this is standing room only.
