@UNC_Samurai: Ann Richards was governor of Texas when the Big XII was formed, and a Baylor alumna. There you go.

@Storming the Floor: (checks list) Right you are! But still, I was just hoping for a mention for my beloved Badgers. I bleed red , you know...

What's that? Everyone does? Oh. Well then, nevermind.

Dear Nick Calathes and Chandler Parsons,

Just for future reference, those Vanilla Ice haircuts? Not such a good idea.

@UNC_Samurai: Yeah, I'm not sure what went into that decision. Basketball-wise, it would have been a wash (at the time), but football-wise, a huge improvement.

I still see no reason whatsoever why Baylor should be in the Big 12 over TCU.

@UeckersEats: You're not selling me with that. We wrote a whole list of floor storming rules over at the site, and "really good team wins regular-season title" wasn't on the list.

@Dead Wrestlers Society: I think Miami's probably in. But I leave the guessing to Lunardi.

@jmjonesjr: He was 9 for 9 in the second half and overtime. Most of them came with him being guarded, and a few were from 30 ft. Unreal.

Foster went 9-15 from behind the arc the hard way. He missed his first 6.

Enjoy it while it lasts, Baylor fans, before the NCAA starts sniffing around Coach Drew.

A sullen Eric Murphy (far right) wonders why he was never allowed to join this entourage.

That post probably set a record for most words ever written about Baylor basketball for a publication not located in Waco. If it didn't set the record, then it's definitely top 10.

Baylor will probably make it...win at Texas Tech and win at least one game in the big 12 tourney and it's all but guarenteed.

Miami (FL) needs to be in your lock column. RPI in the low 20s, they're in.

Florida must have taken the gaspipe last night, they were up big in the first half.

I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Deadspin tournament capsules so that I can get a fresh perspective on Baylor from a true die-hard fan of the team. Thankfully, it's being written by...Will Leitch...wait, what?

@chilltown: I think they're in too. I had forgotten about the TT/Indy matchup not happening. Of course, that may have something to do with Miles Richards, too. I'm betting that the NCAA has more pull than CBS.

@ghostsoftheSCupcountry: If CBS couldn't get an Indiana-Texas Tech matchup last year when Indiana was a 7 seed and TTech was a 10, I'm pretty sure they can't get Baylor in (if they were out, which I don't think they are).

Baylor's past should be weighed in their favor if they are on the bubble. Coming back from the whole mess under the previous coaching staff to respectability. It would a great story and I'm betting that CBS will be in the Selection Committee's ear.

Crazy happenings in the Patriot League tourney. 2 seed Navy lost in 3OT, and 1 seed American escaped by 2 points in the first round. That league has play-in game written all over it.
