Nice choke job Baylor

[seniorsooner]

DFW I will agree that charge call was absolutely HORRIBLE. I knew that Baylor would get little if any calls down the stretch today. You are right that Drew cannot rebound for his players, but what I could not understand (as I alluded to above) is why Baylor kept attempting 2 pt field goals rather than 3 pointers when they were down 10 points with under a minute to go. Granted it's a long shot at that point but if you shoot 2 pointers you give yourself absolutely no chance of pulling off a miracle. To me that comes back to coaching.

Coach K had the 3 point line completely blanketed. Baylor had to score quick and the 2's were what was available. When you get behind 7 with less than 2 left, you are usually toast no matter what you do.

I was there and it looked like with about 5 min left Baylor had the O crap, they're Duke, we're Baylor, and they made bad decisions on the offensive end. They played hard, just didn't have the mental make up yet to pull it off. My hat is off to them though, they had a great year and a close loss in the elite 8 is nothing to be ashamed of.

Congrats Baylor

Scottie looked like a deer in headlights over on the sideline.

You should be used to that because that is how Capel looked all year.

Hahahahaha!!!!! i think you confuse deer in headlights look with that of frustration. Capel didn't forget how to coach in 1 year. He had a young team that didn't play together or give good effort. You posters were the same ones that were critical of both Scottie Drew and Frank Martin when they had young but talented teams that underachieved. y'all said the same things as you're saying about Capel, they can recruit but they are idiots as coaches. Now that both of those coaches have a nucleus of players that played together for about 3 years, their teams have done very well and these coaches are now geniuses and are better coaches than Capel. Wake up folks, when Capel basically had the same team for two and three years, they did very well. Neither of those coaches that you guys have been praising has gone any further then Capel.

especially when the opponent shoots FTs as well as Duke does.

are you REALLY still talking about that game? People have been born and died since that game has been over.
