Baylor Vs WSU

[Kung Wu]

I really hate seeing refs blowing whistles all game and trying to steal the show. It totally kills the flow of the game and can make games 2 1/2 hours long.

It seems like offenses are really getting the benefits in college basketball now. I dunno how many times you see wild, out-of-control players bang there way into a guy, holding straight-up, and just standing there, only to see a foul called and the out-of-control garbage gets rewarded at the foul line. That is annoying. And now you're going to have it to where every fingertip touch is going to be a foul call as well? It seems like defenses can't catch breaks and everything benefits the offensive player. Let's not make this thing the NBA.

"Stand on your feet, UConn fans, and give it up for the NEW prototype NCAA guard ... NUUUUMBER 15 .... Keeeembaaaa WAAAALKERRRRR!!!!"

The first time a UNI player flops to draw a hand check call I'm going to laugh my arse off! That's going to look hilarious.

Starting about 27 mins they talk to Scott Drew from Baylor. At about the 34 min mark they talk about the scrimmage.

For those w/o audio access at the moment what was said?

Basically said positions 1-4 are experienced and tough. 5 worries me.

He said CLE and Baker definitely stood out. Strong at 1-4. should have a definite advantage over teams early that are bringing in new players. Looked as good as last year's team. Nothing was said one way or the other about the 5 position.

Given Sullentrop's positive comments about the bigs, especially Lufile, it sounds to me like we are in good shape.

Speaking of Sullentrop and the new rules...

Paul Suellentrop @PaulS:uellentrop 18m
My first thought from WSU media day is the new officiating may help Nick Wiggins more than any other Shocker. If defenders aren't able to

push him around and bump him off cuts, it seems like he can be a lot more effective.

It is a good point and I think that the same logic applies to Cle as well.

Speaking of the 5, I didn't expect this:

Shane Ewing @ShaneEwing
Gregg Marshall says Chadrack Lufile has the advantage over Kadeem Coleby for 5 spot. Darius Carter will share minutes at the 5 as well"

[shockmonster]

Scott Drew knows who is coming back from last year and who has the experience. Our 5 whoever it is will be inexperienced and behind VanVleet, Baker, Cotton, and Early. He also said that he was impressed by the teams physicality and willingness to mix it up. Hopefully that includes Colby and Lufile.

[BostonWu]

Scott Drew also said his team's rebounding was exposed (implying his team got beat on the boards).

[WuDrWu]

Baylor is likely to be a top 25 team. Even without a couple of freshmen likely to contribute, performing well against the Bears speaks well for where the team is right now.

Baylor Fans Show Some Class

Word that we got from the scrimmage also made it to theur message board.

Baylor fans showed a lot of respect for the Shox and don't fault their team for a moment.

Based on the player interview's at the bottom of this article Kadeem has got the attention of his teammates. Darius and Rian mentioned a few time as well.
