I am a Zag fan, but feel strongly that Baylor the university, Coach Drew, the team and its fans are all class acts. Things are going to get much better for you and I applaud the courage of both schools to not schedule a cupcake game. It’s a long season. Go Bears.😊
That's a great question!!! It's because a lot of b12 fans and A.D from major B12 universities schools didn't want Gonzaga!!! Just like U of CONNECTICUT also! Very bias! Gonzaga is a major blueblood basketball school. Gonzaga now going to Pac12!!!
Sure Baylor got blown out. It happens, it's basketball. It's early in the season. Baylor is super athletic and just needs time to gel. They'll be more dangerous come tourney time and probably top 5 next year. Zags still had all their pieces from last year, last year's new guys have more experience, and the new additions are ballers. Love watching Baylor as a basketball fan, they always have tough squads. Hoping they have a great season. Go Zags!!! Down with Uconn
@@Randy-j8q Relax, I was joking. Drew's a great coach and he'll figure it out! But, maybe when UK poached his top assistant after losing already losing Tang & Jakus in previous seasons has hurt their offseason development or something?
@@LockedOnBaylor I'll give you Gonzaga and UConn but Arkansas is going to be average at best this year. But I hope Baylor has a good year just not better then DUKE.
It's the 1at game of a long season. Steam today is not the same in March. Gonzaga is a perfect example of that. But every year they schedule and play top 10 teams a ton early. Last year they lost a few and everyone wrote them off, yet march came along and the Zags were back in the sweet 16. As to where the Zags played? They played at Spokane Arena. Not at Gonzaga. Which is annoying. But again. 1st game is nothing. Upward and onward
Remember Gonzaga is hyper efficient on offense and this season they are deep enough to keep the throttle pinned down for a full 40min... combine that with 6 of the 8 rotation guys returning from a sweet 16 team, gonzaga playing a psudo home game, they prob beat anyone last night in that spot. The bears will be ok
😊 Yes, Scott Did The Right Thing By Schedualing This Game! 🕵♂️ Better To Lose Earily in The Season and Get Your Players Attention on What They Need To Improve Upon Before Conference Play! 🤔 This is WHY Atheletes Come To Baylor - To Be The Best, You Have To Play and Beat The Best! 🏆
🏀 PLAYING THE LIKES BASKETBALL LEGENDS OF FEW, HURLEY, AND CALIPARI IN THE SAME SEASON IS BOTH A PRIVILEGE AND A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY! 💰 THIS SCHEDUAL IS GREAT EXPOSURE FOR BAYLOR BASKETBALL! 📺 DON'T BE SAD, BECAUSE THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN PLAYING "THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR"! 🤪
That was a hard game to watch. I came away with 3 thoughts, but honestly, this team is really flawed and I don't think they are correctable given the roster. 1) One thing we had in 2021 (and I would say in 2022 and a little bit in 2023) was defensive toughness/awareness. I don't know what's happened with that (or which coach was instrumental in installing that), but (after a few seasons now) we've completely lost any of the defensive identity that made this program become a national championship contender. 2) We are going to struggle BIG time with teams with size. Unless Josh O. takes a Freddie Gillespie type of leap during the year, we are going to struggle rebounding the ball and keeping teams from bullying us inside. I was hoping Josh O. would have taken a "leap" going into this season but he looked completely lost and unaggressive on both ends of the court and, unless this game is an aberration, Omier is going to be the only big we're going to be able to play big minutes. We already lacked size to begin with, but man, we become REALLY small at that point. 3) I don't get why we keep liking to play combo guards as point guards but it's just not enough imo. We're going to struggle to consistently generate "easy" shots as a whole imo because we don't have guys that can a) create their own shot consistently and b) are looking to create for others like a true PG would. I feel like this has been a theme now for several seasons since that 2021 team and I just don't like it, lol.
You opened the season against a well oiled machine of a program with NBA talent, a few timezones away, and a young/new group of players…they’ll be a different team by March and probably look like the team people thought they would be pre-season. Though the Big 12 is an absolute buzz saw, need to get right by the time conference games start.
I stayed up and watched it all. Edgecomb dunking over Fews kid was worth the pain….not really. There is some crazy talent and they are obviously going to take some lumps. I do think when they get it together they will compete for the big 12 title. Looked to me like Wright is your rayjay replacement.
Coach Drew had all off-szn to address the o-line and brought in a bunch of .... hang on. I got my notes confused ... Drew had all off-szn to address the... JK guys! Football has won 3 straight P4 gms and my hope-o-meter is higher than it's been since prior to the 2022 BYU loss. I'm not allowing an early szn hoops loss to kill my buzz.
😂 IT HAS ALWAYS WORKED OUT UNDER SCOTT DREW TO PREPARE HIS TEAM FOR MARCH! 🏀 IF LOSING IN NOVEMBER MEANS WINNING IN MARCH, I'LL TAKE IT EVERY TIME! 👨🎓 SCOTT HAS SHOWN THAT HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING! 🤫 HE IS A GREAT COACH!!! 🥇
😳 YOU SAID IT YOURSELF - NOT A GOOD PLAYER EFFORT TONIGHT! 😮 I'M SORRY, BUT THAT EFFORT ISN'T GOING TO BEAT A TOP 5 TEAM, LIKE GONZAGA! 🙄 NOW, SCOTT HAS THIER ATTENTION AND CAN GET THEM TO LISTEN UP! 👂THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED TO PREPARE FOR BIG-12 CONFERENCE PLAY! 🫣 KANSAS, FOR EXAMPLE, HAS PLAYED GONZAGA MULTIPLE TIME IN THE PRESEASON AND GOTTEN BEAT - BEFORE WINNING A NATIONAL TITLE! 🤔 IT'S GOING TO BE OK, SO LET'S NOT HIT THE PANIC BUTTON JUST YET! 😂

Congrats on 3K
🤯 HOW IS GONZAGA NOT IN THE BIG-12? "BIG MISTAKE" BY THE CONFERENCE!!! 😠
That's a great question!!! It's because a lot of b12 fans and A.D from major B12 universities schools didn't want Gonzaga!!! Just like U of CONNECTICUT also! Very bias! Gonzaga is a major blueblood basketball school. Gonzaga now going to Pac12!!!
@adamcompean9385 The Conference Commissioner is Smarter Than The School President's!
Simple. Big 12 wants football teams not basketball only.
@willthorson4543 BOISE STATE!
No football program
I'm speechless, all we can do is trust the process. Scott Drew is a brilliant coach and he knows what he's doing. We will be okay.
Sure Baylor got blown out. It happens, it's basketball. It's early in the season. Baylor is super athletic and just needs time to gel.

On behalf of the Big Blue Nation, I'd like to thank Scott Drew's wife for not letting him take the Kentucky job!
@@mgers75 yeah make jokes. But everyone knows Baylor is gonna be better than KY this year. I mean y'all played high school teams to start out! Lol

Baylor scheduled a juggernaut on the road. Everyone else was playing creampuffs. Let's not overreact people
They play 1 good team till conference play....keep it real, plus J. Roach isn't that good coming from Duke. There also smaller then most good schools.
@@elizabethcarrano6708out of Gonzaga, Arkansas, and UCONN, which one is the “1 good team”?
@@LockedOnBaylor I'll give you Gonzaga and UConn but Arkansas is going to be average at best this year. But I hope Baylor has a good year just not better then DUKE.
@ *than
(Plus Arkansas is top 20 and has a HOF coach, don’t know if you’ve seen that)

Brutal combination of a very late start and a lackluster effort....it WILL get better. CONGRATS on three thousand!!!!!!!!!!
