Message: [QUOTE="SimpleDawg, post: 3037486, member: 9267"] Well..... Baylor allowed 30 three-point shots against Stanford, and Stanford made 13 of them. They allowed 32 three-point shots against UConn, and UConn made 11 of them. UConn got only 18 points off of 2s, and Stanford only got 20 points off of 2s. The way Baylor defends inside and in the paint is clearly a strength of theirs. So I guess based on that..... I don't want Baylor at all. They're not Tennessee or Marquette, they're tough in the paint. They'll have a better answer for Danberry and Howard. We can't win shooting 3s. I don't think Vic would allow 30+ three point shots though, so if Stanford has to win by 2s, I don't think they can come close to matching our ability in the paint or elbow or midrange. We allowed 21 three-point shots against Marquette and 25 against South Carolina (though 5 of them were SC jacking up bricks on the last possession) . But 20 or 21 shots is pretty much our ceiling; and that's overall a little bit better. But they made a lot of 2s too. Overall, they were just both shooting very well. We overcame Marquette and South Carolina because our offense is very strong and consistently unstoppable this year. But of course against Baylor it'll be another story. I just want to be able to count on our offense to completely carry us through this year. And that's good thinking on my part. But first we have to avoid Baylor and hope the Pac-12 ousts them like they usually do. Baylor is not very lucky against the Pac-12, being kicked out by Oregon State so often, only loss this year to the Pac-12, and only 2 losses last year to the Pac-12. I think Louisville and Notre Dame will also be a bit tougher defensively against us, but if there's one team I'd want to avoid like the plague... it's definitely Baylor.. ... [/QUOTE]
