They deserved it. I don't like their coach based off the shady recruiting stories I've heard on 1 certain player but I'm happy for their school.

i would have been okay seeing them left out.

I think it would have been a real slap in the face of the conference if they hadn't, so I'm glad they did as well. I think they get schooled by Purdue though.

Turn in your ring. F Baylor.

bdp-
is that just a gut reaction or is there a reason you think we get beat?

bleed green,
why on earth are you on the a&m fan site right after your team made its 1st NCAA in years. go celebrate with your own kind.

Purdue will truck them

i second that txag,

F baylor should be a battle cry

SS- didn't mean to offend you. Sorry, you are so sensitive. I am actually surfing both sites as my computer can have multiple windows open at once.

I'm glad to see Baylor made it.

Im glad they got in and they deseved to. They had a winning record in a very tough conference.

does the conference make more money since they got in? If so, then I'm okay with it but would just as soon have seen someone else at the dance.
Will the Baylor fans be stripped searched for projectile trash when they entire the arena?

Gun safety is no accident.

bleed green,

not set in stone, just my opinion based on what I've seen of BU in person and the games I've seen Purdue play. You guys probably shoot the ball better, but Purdue will get after you on defense. I tend to put a premium on D at tourney time. I'd be very leary of picking a team making it's first appearance in the dance that relies on the 3 as much as BU does. Just think at some point nerve are going to play a part. Do I think Purdue is an absolute lock. o way. If BU can keep it an up tempo game Purdue could be in trouble.

Im really glad to see them in.

I tend to agree. D is big in the tournament and we are not that great at it.

My hope lies in the fact that 1)they are young, 2)guard play is important in the tourney and 3)our guards are experienced.

I'd say baylor is on the slide. how can you really build on that game against colorado? there was nothing to take away from that game that was positive.

Me too. A strong Big XII is good in basketball. We need to have a good showing so the Big XII won't get shafted in future selections. There is too much ACC/Big East/SEC love and their reputations from the past is helping them now. There is more parity in basketball than there is in football.

Im happy for bu and for the big xii.
purdue is hit and miss kinda like us at points so i think bu has a good chance. good luck to the big xii, EXCEPT tu

Good to see Baylor in the tournament. Helps the Big 12 to see them make a good run. Hope find team play that got them off to the quick start of the season. From where they had start 5 years ago they have come a long way. Good luck Bears.

I am pro baylor being in the tourney

The Big 12 deserved 6 teams in the tourney this year. I'm glad they all made it in.

I'm glad they got in too. I would have hated for any of my tax dollars to be spent cleaning up after the federal disaster declaration they would have made in Waco had they not gotten in.

I mean, with what they did in throwing trash all over their own arena after losing a game. I would hate to see what they would do to that place after getting left out of the tournament.

i would have been very happy to see baylor in the NIT. its not like getting them in the NCAA's suddenly makes the big xii look any better nationally.

Oh the irony...

I'm all for B12 teams making the tourny. Now with that being said, I'm hoping that Purdue makes sure the selection knows they made a HUGE mistake by letting baylor in...

Regardless of intra-conference rivalries/differences, I am always rooting for big 12 teams to get into the tournament. It's a testament to the entire conference when one of our teams makes it into the tournament and shows that any victory or loss we have in conference play is hard earned. 6 big 12 teams in the tournament is a huge statement for A&M and all other big 12 teams.

1 and done...

There are several posts about Baylor on this board today. That school isn't worth mentioning once.

you have to admit they deserved it, but an also well deserved one and done too

Scott Drew was interviewed by at least 2 of the major network affiliates in Dallas. Giving the camera the big chit eating grin and the awe shucks act.

For some reason the guy seems like a phoney. A real Eddie Haskell type.

This is only directed at some of you: thanks for reminding me why I stopped reading this board regularly.

I get that there are hard feelings or whatever between the Ags and Bears! But show some respect. They worked to get to the dance just like the Ags and deserve to be there just like us.

Okay I'm going to step off the soap box now.
