Has he ever made three in a game before?


A very timely display with all those NBA people in the building. If you're an NBA GM and you don't have your entire scouting dept at that game, you're just not doing your job. Well, okay, maybe send somebody to UConn-Marquette. But, c'mon, you got everybody already in town.

Baylor S. is insane, in the best sense of the word.

Amazing win. Road wins are hard to come by in the Big East, let alone in the Hinkle House of Horrors. After a very mediocre 1st half, we absolutely turned it on in all phases of the game. What I loved the most was that we battled back out of the locker room, got a lead, and finally (in what seems like forever) stepped on their throat. We swatted away any attempt by Butler to get themselves back into the game. Baylor was a stud, Trey picked it up on both ends, and Kalkbrenner was very effective.

I loved the adjustment to get out of the drop and start hedging at the top of the key. Kudos to Mac and the staff. And some of the guys that killed us in Omaha - Telfort, Krapke, Floppy Jizzcock - were mostly ineffective.

Ellis obviously had no clue who BB was with that description, "runs like a deer."

Okay, back to this for a second, 'cause it's serious. Butler even had a bulldog driving a little car around the court (Don't know if he was working the pedals, but I'm pretty sure he was driving). UNO had Red Panda, for God's sake. That woman will appear in your driveway if you pay her. (She's the hardest-working woman in the whole unicycle-plate juggling business). Can't we get anybody? What about nebraska's famed troupe of granny dancers? They should be available (whether they're alive is another question). Hey, I'm not asking for the Flying Wallendas, But somebody. Ras wouldn't have let us down like this.
