Baylor

Didn't even make the NIT. Did they just not take an NIT bid?

No, there is a new NIT rule. Any team that loses to Oklahoma twice in one season can't make the NIT. #sarcasm

Fixed.

No, they just didn't make the cut. Someone on Baylorfans was saying the Baylor ticket office sent out emails to ticket holders about pre-ordering NIT tickets the other day and the school put in a request to host games so they fully expected to go. Hilarious.

wow

 

[NickZepp]

I guess they will take their act to the CBI.

Their season is over. Rumors are that they said they wouldn't accept any bids below the NIT.

Brilliant.

LOL they had like 19 or 20 wins didn't they? That's pretty funny. About a week and half ago they were probably considered in the NCAA Tournament.

They ended 18-13. (With an RPI of 94 and SOS of 48)

Yeah - I didn't ever understand why people were talking about Baylor as a bubble team, even a few weeks ago.

Their SOS and RPI were horrible. They probably would have had to win at least 11 Big 12 games to get in.

And yeah - their profile wasn't even strong enough to get an NIT bid.

:ez-roll: That is awesome.

Conspiracies abound with Baylor beat writer. I like how he totally ignores Baylor's terrible RPI and not so good SOS. Plus, yeah Baylor finished 1 game better in conference than OSU and Nebraska, but one game worse overall.

Scott Drew and the Baylor Bears not only were left out of the NCAA tournament Sunday night, but also failed to be included in the NIT field of 32 teams. Despite finishing in front of Oklahoma State in the regular season, and finishing tied with Nebraska with the advantage of the head to head win over the Cornhuskers, the NIT (which is owned and controlled by the NCAA), left Baylor out of the field in favor of those two teams. Now Baylor fans and administrators are left with nothing but questions about what happened with star player Perry Jones and can only wonder what impact his absence had on the Bears postseason hopes.

could it be a self imposed penalty?

LOL... I know.

He might actually have a (small) point with Nebraska... their RPI wasn't much better than Baylor (89 vs. 94), but OSU was significantly better (#61).

But yeah - Baylor screwed themselves by getting worked by OU in the Big 12 tournament.

And Drew is a scumbag. So LOL at Baylor for not making the NIT.
