Baylor, Tue., Nov. 25, 4:30p, TruTV / 880 AM

The lesson learned is not to buy into the preseason hype about being a Final 4 team based on the portal “names” landed. Chemistry usually trumps player ratings. Rick has his work cut out for him, but he very well may get things on track heading into conference play.
 
Obviously any game against this caliber of opponent is very important but this one is especially important because if we lose it our Wednesday matchup is against a fellow 0-2 team which will probably be someone like Rutgers, Notre Dame, Syracuse, UNLV etc and that just won’t be a resume boosting win at all
 
One thing I like about this game is this isn’t a losers bracket situation so we aren’t playing a team who also lost today.

With that being said, I expect us to play like the more desperate team from the tap tomorrow and will be disappointed if that isn’t the case

I we have to wait until conference play to get this team on track, then we’ll be 1-5 against P5 schools and unless we go 18-2 in conference again we will have limited our ceiling with regard to seeding already at that point.
