We catch a break with the Baylor Bears...their 6'11" shot blocker, Mamadou Diene, the Big XII's Active leader in blocked shots, is out for up to six weeks with an ankle problem. But...this team is guard-heavy. Aaron Bruce led the nation in three point shots made for a long time in 2004...he is one of four guards back that averaged at least 25 minutes of playing time last season. They also added the nation's #24 recruit, guard LaceDarious Dunn, who scored 17 in the opener (a 100-76 win vs. Jackson State). Drew has done a nice job since inheriting this horrible situation in Waco (murder, lies, secretly videotaping shoot arounds, NCAA sanctions). They won 15 last year, including a Big XII Tournament win vs. Missouri, and conference victories over Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, and Colorado. Only three letterwinners left...I know this team lost to a Division II in exhibition play, but I think they will be a good opponent!
