[QUOTE="Rowdypkunk, post: 1251882, member: 619389"] I know you're not trying to pick a fight.... and sure Baylor could've played their worst game you will see all season... but we also clearly did not play our best for the full 40 minutes. Also, look at how they started against Louisville... they started off really bad.... and battled back to win that game & the title of the tourney. But lets take that Baylor team & that game against us.... they are clearly the best team we've faced this year so far, with you guys being a close 2nd (no disrespect intended). We played our best against Baylor for about 25-30 minutes of those 40... if we had played all 40 minutes at our best... we could've beaten them. Yesterday... we played our best against you guys for the first 8 to 10 minutes.... and then it was all you guys for most of the game after that... tho we had a few runs to get it close.... but then we unraveled again. We held you guys to 4 points the first 8 minutes of the game.... if we played that well all game... you would've had 20 pts the entire game.... you had 27 pts in the last 12 minutes of the first half we had 10. 2 totally different games by us.... one game VCU showed up for most of the game... but came up just short...... the other game we showed up for a few minutes & it wasn't even close at the end. Again, not taking anything away from you guys, cause y'all kicked our butts yesterday. But we also did not show up to play... you guys did. I still think, if we played up to our potential all 40 minutes against Baylor, we could've snuck out a win.... and if we had showed up to play against you guys, we could've won. But the fact of the matter is, we didn't do either.... and therefore we are 6-2 now instead of 7-1 or 8-0. [/QUOTE]
