#4 Baylor vs. #250 OU... pound for pound

[thebigabd]

Baylor is good, period... Very good. They can shoot, they are athletic, they have size, and they are 12-0. They also start 4 juniors and a senior. Old team. This 7 footer they brought in from juco is averaging 11, 7.5, and 4 blocks per game right out of the gate...

Not sure how OU keeps it within 10 with these guys.

Long as Scott Drew is still the coach, we have a chance...

I hear that a lot.... he has averaged 25 wins a season over the past 5 years. Average record in that time span is 25-11.

That doesn't alter the fact that his teams usually underachieve.

That's also not true. The Scott Drew can't coach narrative is one of the strangest, most ill-informed things floating around.

What is it based on again? It's obviously not based on wins, NCAA Tournament appearances, etc...

Horrendous in-game coaching.
Dude cheats to get good players, wins a lot of games, but gets out coached frequently.
