Is this a serious post?
I'll bite. Why wouldn't it be?

So I gotta ask. How much $$$ is involved with Baylor hoops right now? I have hard time believing Drew could make Baylor this good without it.

Well you can talk about him all you want, but would love to have him at OU
I don't know why campbest was asking, but I have to say what ksSooner described Acy as doing doesn't deserve the entire team to be called classless.
They may very well be classless, as I can't say because I've never observed them and am not questioning those who have.
I wonder if the feelings of some on here isn't more related to the what was the worst basketball program in the conference seemingly passing us by in program quality. Kruger will get the ship righted and when he does Baylor will be back where they belong which is in our rear-view mirror.
Please- this is a joke of a post. Were you at that game? He barely touched the ref. Did not grab him. He admitted he made a mistake. It is his second technical foul (the other one was in the NIT championship game for throwing his coat) in his career at Baylor. Your post is pathetic. Don't let the door hit your Tigers on the way out of the conference. I'm hoping for a 2nd half collapse from your team.
Hilarious.
Touching a ref, barely or otherwise, is childish, and it's par for the course for Drew. He's a constant whiner in the games I've seen, and I'd be embarrassed for a Mizzou coach to act like that on the sidelines.
I'm sure you're praying for a Mizzou collapse. It's the only way Baylor has a shot at a title after getting curb stomped in Lawrence and losing at home to Mizzou. Sad, considering how significant of a talent edge they have over every team in the conference.

Guard oriented teams peak early and then fall apart down the stretch.
If MU goes just 3-3 in that stretch, I'll leave this board for good.
Butler played for a title last year with a guard oriented team. They had two guys taller than 6-6 in their rotation. No different than Mizzou. I'm sure I could find dozens of other example of guard-oriented teams that didn't peak too early, but I figured I'd start at the top.
Illinois is another one. Their final four team with Deron Williams, Dee Brown and Luther Head leading the attack had one starter over 6-6 (they did have some size on their bench, but the regular rotation included only three true post players).
Drew's inability to capitalize on his talented guards doesn't mean it's difficult for all coaches...
I have the exact same question. How did they go from where they were when he was hired, which was zero non-conference games to this? He has to be buying players to get this good.
I understand he has been greatly benefitted by OU and OSU's demise over the past 3-5 years (as both were probably the 2nd and 3rd best basketball programs in the conference before Eddie and Kelvin moved on) but I still don't see how they improved this much.
It also helps when you have guards with size. Luther Head and Deron Williams were big, physical guards.
Drew's guard oriented team was built like Missouri's. Smallish guards. Baylor had nothing close to Ratliffe on those teams. If teams are able to get Ratliffe in foul trouble or if Ratliffe went down with an injury, Missouri is toast. You need to have balance to do well against good teams. It is like running/passing in football.
You saw what happened when Ratliffe got in foul trouble at KSU and only played 14 minutes. Missouri got rolled.
Regardless, they have a stretch of games here where I see a 3-3 split for the Tigers in the next 6. We will see how they do. No depth might cause issues as the grind kicks in down the back stretch. If they stay healthy, they might survive and finish top 3 in the conference. If they get a key injury or two, the wheels might come off quick.
