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.

Baylor 1/13 8:00 ESPN
Baylor has opened a new 7000 seat arena recently and I will warn you that the place is very steep on the sides and the camera angle is almost Temple terrible but at least it's at the halfcourt line.
Baylor comes in at 13-2 and ranked #14. We have one common opponent in BYU which Baylor defeated 81-72 on this past Tuesday in Waco. The guy to look out for is all- world freshman Ja-Kobe Walter who averages 15 and 4. He's a volume shooter and his backcourt mate RayJ Dennis is probably the more efficient scorer. You can't put Walter on the line where he shoots 85%. Da Bears have beaten Seton Hall, Florida and Auburn. They have losses to Duke at MSG and Michigan State on a "neutral" court in Detroit. The one true road game they played against OK St. was a win for Baylor in OT. Baylor is very athletic and everyone can shoot. They're more efficiant from the floor than UC but we should be able to out rebound the Bears despite C Yves Missi at 7'0..
This will be tough one. We're going to have to play solid defense on the road to have a shot.
