Forget the Dave Bliss disaster, the kids have moved on.
Ranked for the first time in decades (#25 AP), the Baylor Bears went into College Station with one mission: To prove that they deserve it. After 5 OTs(!!!!), the Bears have shown their doubters that they are legit with a 116-110 victory.
What a gutsy performance! The #16 Aggies had lost two straight in a row, and needed the win to solidify their status as a top-tier team. The Aggies were undefeated at home as well. In spite of 5 players fouling out over the 65 minute game and shooting 7/34 for 3 pointers, the Bears are now 16-2 overall and 4-0 in conference. They are tied for first in the Big 12 with #2 Kansas.
Don't rest on your laurels, Baylor, because the next 4 games will really tell the tale (Oklahoma, at Texas, TT, at Kansas). If they split those four, Baylor deserves a 5 seed or better in March, and they'll probably get it.
