This is going to get rough -- Baylor tomorrow, then Texas, then Colorado, then K-State.
After the Nebraska near-debacle, I'm beginning to wonder about this team's title potential.
Without Aldrich (or Withey) our big men are undersized. We got decisively out-rebounded vs. Nebraska, and have been outmuscled down low in several games. Nonetheless, the twins continue to find ways to grit it out and win games for us.
Being undersized we can overcome -- but not if our guards continue to play as poorly as they have recently. Selby and EJ were horrific vs. Nebraska, but Tyshawn, even though he made some big plays, is the bigger concern. After starting the season so well, he's inexplicably regressed to freshman form. Brady was good yesterday but has not had a good season overall. The only perimeter guy meeting expectations is Reed -- and even he isn't shooting as well as last season.
Looks like we may be waiting another week on Releford -- sorry, Chris. But if a few of our guards don't get their shit together, this season could get ugly and soon.
One thing I like looking at the stats is that Baylor is turnover prone. That really plays into our hands. On the other hand, they have a lot of length, which always gives us problems.
