Immediate Takeaways From Baylor's Win Over ACU: Omier's Eye, Wright Runs the Show and More

Dec 8, 2024 | sicem365.com | Kendall Kaut

Baylor cruised to an 88-57 victory tonight over Abilene Christian. After building up an early lead, the game was never in doubt. Here are my main takeaways. *Good to see Norchad Omier play well after the eye injury: Norchad Omier (5Sr.) got scratched in the eye early in the game. CBS Sports Network felt the need to show us his lower eye while he was examined on the bench. Omier returned to lead the Bears in scoring.
Injuries, Poor Play, Rob Wright Stars, Hope of Love: Immediate Takeaways from UCONN

Dec 4, 2024 | sicem365.com | Kendall Kaut

With VJ Edgecombe (Fr.) sidelined with a hamstring injury, Baylor played with just a seven-man rotation tonight. Then, in the second half, Jeremy Roach (5Sr.) went out with a concussion. That’s good news in the sense that he’s not Tua, so he’s not facing a debilitating injury. Let’s bullet: *Have to get more from Jalen CelestineHe had five fouls and no points. He was not active on the glass either. Jalen Celestine (Sr.

With VJ Edgecombe sidelined with a hamstring injury, Baylor has just a seven man rotation it played tonight. Then in the second half, Jeremy Roach went out with a concussion. That’s good news in the sense that he’s not Tua, so he’s not facing a debilitating injury. Let’s bullet: *Have to get more from Jalen CelestineHe had five fouls and no points. He was not active on the glass either. Celestine is a wonderful catch-and-shoot sniper.
Baylor Basketball Should Embrace Longtermism this Season

Nov 24, 2024 | sicem365.com | Kendall Kaut

Although I touched on some of these themes in my immediate column after the debacle against No. 11 Tennessee, I want to spell out my thesis fully for how I view this season of Baylor basketball. And for me, this team should be building exclusively to try and peak in February. Long-termism is a theory developed by effective altruists that says we should pay particular attention to protecting the long future. The ideology doesn’t proscribe liberal or conservative solutions.
After Loss Tennessee Loss, Baylor Basketball Should Consider Major Moves

Nov 21, 2024 | sicem365.com | Kendall Kaut

For the second time over a full game this season and the third half of this tournament, Baylor looked awful. The Bears lost the first half by 27 points. Although Baylor scored more points than the Volunteers in the second half, it’s hard for me to say “won” when a team lost the first half by so much that the second proved irrelevant; the Bears only made a bit of a run with the outcome assured. Baylor does have some talented pieces still.
What a Victory: First Thoughts From Baylor's Incredible Win Over St. John's

Nov 20, 2024 | sicem365.com | Kendall Kaut

I had a whole list of bullet points typed up. That was one of the craziest games Baylor’s played ever, with maybe the wildest ending I can ever remember to a Baylor game. *Jeremy Roach, what a shot: Zuby Ejiofor (Jr.), a former Kansas Jayhawk, found out that he could leave Lawrence, but he couldn’t leave losing to Baylor. He went to the line with five seconds left and a chance to ice the game with the Johnnies up two. He missed both shots, and Jeremy Roach (5Sr.
A Complete Win: Immediate Takeaways from Baylor's Victory Over Tarleton

Nov 17, 2024 | sicem365.com | Kendall Kaut

Tarleton, at least the version with a handful of scholarship players, is really bad. I’ve watched a lot of awful teams walk into the Ferrell Center. In one funny case, the Prairie View A&M coach said after the game that he was excited for a game against a worse team. But Tarleton might have been worse than any of them. Still, good teams should pound awful teams. Baylor did that tonight.

What An Angle: On Baylor's Dominant Win Over Sam Houston

Nov 12, 2024 | sicem365.com | Kendall Kaut

Baylor Basketball 1,130 Good teams respond to adversity, and Baylor responded well after the Gonzaga game. There was a ton of positive energy tonight, so let’s go for it. Camera Angle: As awful as last year’s was, this is one of the best college basketball cameras out there. You can still get a wide view of the half-court and track driving lanes well. Jayden Nunn is Raining Threes: Guard Jayden Nunn (Sr.) started 5-of-6 from deep.

Ridiculous this isn’t allowed today. Bears have a right to drink Dr. Pepper and watch football. Why go through all that training to be denied two of their favorite things?

A while ago TikTok hooked me on these guys playing best ball mini golf every day trying to break 30. This is Day 52. Most promising front 9 yet. Back 9 isn’t posted yet. Most important sporting event of the day imo https://t.co/wEE6HLeEe6

Yep! Much better to see and hear this than folks pretending they're attending a school because they prepare someone better for the NBA!

Love that Texas Tech pitcher NiJaree Canady just straight up admits to ESPN that she was paid $1,050,024 in NIL money. Good for her, good for women's sports.
