World, I'd like to introduce you to Baylor?     Do You remember last year's Texas against Oklahoma State game in Stillwater, Okla.? You remember the Kevin Durant-Mario Boggan talk that led up to the game? You remember both living up to the hype with 37-point nights for both (Boggan had 20 boards to Durant's 12)? You remember Byron Eaton's ridiculous half court heave for ...

Baylor guard Curtis Jerrells had this to say after the five overtime, three and half hour, 116-110 marathon win against Texas A&M last night: “I’m tired.” After playing essentially three halves of basketball—and an overtime for good measure—I’d say everybody, including the trainers were tired. So what does 65 minutes of basketball get you besides dog-tired ...

Last night, did you wish you were getting the 5 OT thriller at College Station between Baylor and Texas A&M, both of whom were ranked? Were you thinking about the implications the game could have on the NCAA tournament? Did ESPN's Gamecast not update fast enough? If you thought, like I did, that we didn't get the game because it was in a different region, Andy Katz notes that you're wrong ...

by T , The Angry T Hopefully this shocks you as much as it shocked me, Baylor is the #25 team in college basketball. That rank will only improve after a five OT victory against #18 Texas A & M last night. This is the same team that was barred from playing any non-conference games in 2005-2006 in the wake of the Patrick Dennehy murder scandal and recruiting violations. The school was ...

That's "4-0 Baylor" to you, sir. Last year's triple overtime thriller between Texas and Oklahoma State has a partner in the instant classic vault, joined now by last night's Baylor victory over A&M in five overtimes . There are two stories here: first, of course, is Baylor's arrival. Though neither Andrew nor I is overly surprised Baylor's playing great basketball - we both loved the ...

No. 25 Baylor beat No. 18 Texas A&M in a five-overtime game with a score of 116-110. This win broke Texas A&M’s 15-game home winning streak. Baylor has won its fifth in a row and the man of the night was Baylor’s own Curtis Jerrells. Jerrells had 36 points in 53 minutes and he scored [...]

The Baylor Bears have come a long way since the disgraceful days of Dave Bliss and the pitiful practice of players murdering their own teammates . So what’s another five overtimes ? Baylor outlasted Texas A&M, 116-110, in a 3 1/2 hour marathon that was the longest game in Big 12 history. The win brings the #25 Bears to 16-2 on the season - and assures that the team wants to ...

OK, Baylor is probably going to get a lot more publicity now after their epic game against Texas A&M;, but in truth, they probably should have been talked about a lot more even before this game. Because going into College Station and beating the Aggies is not a fluke. They've been building towards this season ever since Scott Drew was signed, and now they have a team that is obviously capable ...

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 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 ...

Got an hour or so before Lights, so let's see what I can get through. If you're not watching the show you're missing the best hour on TV. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I feel for you. Remember you can send your questions to thefanblog@gmail.com . I'll try to answer them all. Has Baylor done enough already to get in the Big Dance? The answer is probably. The Bears got the great ...

Since national television couldn’t showcase the moxie of upstart hoops teams Baylor and Drake, the guys went for big OT wins on the road. Tuesday was the coming out party for the Drake Bulldogs. Long a mediocre team in the Missouri Valley Conference, the Bulldogs had jumped out to a 16-1 start heading to Omaha for a throwdown with MVC big shot Creighton. At the end of the day, ...

T.J. Simers scores the rarest of exclusives, a wide-ranging interview with L.A.’s most lovable slumlord and purveyor of prostitution , L.A. Clippers Owner Donald T. Sterling . Yippee! Sterling immediately drops an H-bomb on Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy and fake GM Elgin Baylor , saying “ I want to make L.A. fans proud of this team, but if [Baylor and Dunleavy] can’t ...

College basketball is now officially awesome. Cruising the AP top 25 and I scroll to the bottom and, lo and behold, those lovable losin' Baylor Bears. For the first time in a trillion years, the men's basketball team ekes into the top 25 with a 15-2 record and starting 3-0 in conference. Who in the state is not rooting for this team? No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks (18-0, 3-0) On a weekend when ...

It has long been known at Baylor and around much of the Big 12 that Baylor women’s basketball was a force to be reckoned with, but as Dick Vitale might phrase it, "There’s a new big man on campus, baby!" That new force is Baylor men's basketball. The Bears (14-2) (2-0) are off to their first 2-0 start in Big 12 play since 1998 and off to its best start in 62 years. ...
