During a discussion of traditional basketball position roles, Rose prompted Bayless to confirm that yes, he averaged less than two points a game as a senior and indeed he did play on the J.V. team as a junior. While Bayless insisted he'd address the topic in full later in the broadcast, he didn't. Still, it's fun to watch Bayless's ashen-faced admission. [ESPN2]
