Nice halftime adjustment by Scott Drew. Probably told his guards to drive it and quit shooting so many contested threes. Also turned up the already good defense a notch or two. Can Arkansas stay in the game against Baylor if they can get past ORU?

Baylor commits four times as many fouls as Nova, yet Nova is criminally whistled for twice as many fouls as Baylor. Such BS.

No pumping. Jay Wright won in a short span when everyone was losing young players to early entry & he was keeping 4 year guys. He is not keeping them now. Before that & after that Jay has always had good regular seasons & early tourney exits.
He lost three starters. If we lost someone like Colin Gillespie late in the year we would not have a backup. Cal does not believe in backup point guards.

NCAA nailing these tip times today. CBS game/coverage ends minutes before we switch to TBS.

Jay Wright has always had good teams but terrible tournament success. The 2 years he won was due to everyone losing talent to early entries while Jay was having 4 year guys. Since he has started losing guys early he has reverted to what he has always been.

I think I’ll pop in my Blu Ray disc copy of Baylor’s last Elite Eight game - maybe MKG’s signature game.

Bruh I just want teams like Jay Wright has IDC if he's our new coach. That is the direction I wish UK basketball was heading in. Not this stupid 1 n done bs where you can't even get the top 5 players

Arkansas should be too quick for ORU.

edit: They are too quick for themselves right now.

So, after two games today it is yet again painfully obvious that defense wins after the first weekend, and all the talk all year of how perimeter offense is taking over the sport is just that - cheap talk.

Of course, that’s always been Cal’s philosophy. You don’t win 31 tournament games since 2010 - by far the most of anyone - any other way.

In the end, it's not really just offense or just defense. The teams that win in March have a combination of both.
