Fox Sports Radio Basketball Analyst Doug Gottlieb discusses Baylor reinventing themselves following the EJ injury and other college basketball storylines.
I'm not a Doug Gottlieb fan, but he didn't say anything objectionable in this interview. This headline really paints a poor picture of the tone and content of the interview.Method Man said:
F Doug Gotleib.
That dude sucks.

This is a pretty sensational, click-baitey headline for what is actually said here.
He was overall very complimentary of our team and program. This makes it sound like he was taking a dig at us.
Doesn't change my opinion of Gotleib at all. That dude is garbage.bear2be2 said:I'm not a Doug Gotleib fan, but he didn't say anything objectionable in this interview. This headline really paints a poor picture of the tone and content of the interview.Method Man said:

Plenty of national champions didn't win their conference.BUmoneymaker said:
National championship!? Lol!!! Baylor isnt even the 2nd best team in the b12.
Great group. Young and their weakness shows against hungry teams.

I think tonight's win showed we're still capable of winning at that level. I still wouldn't say it's particularly likely.ScottS said:

Agreed. I've been saying all year there are no elite teams this year. There are a lot of really good ones, but none that stand above the rest like there were last year with Baylor and Gonzaga.DanaDane said:
This is the most wide open the path to the Natty has been in several years. Media keeps saying 8-10 teams but I truly think there are legit 12-15 teams that could get hot and win it all with the right matchups along the way. There simply isn't a team without a weakness or two.
Seems like you're asking is Bonner part of the rotation. If that's the question, then I'd say Yes. I doubt that the coaches plan to play him anywhere near the minutes Sochan, the 6th man, gets because Sochan is basically covering for his normal minutes along with a good portion of JTT's former minutes. I think Bonner's role is to come in for Akinjo or Flag need a short break, to avoid foul trouble for either, or sometimes when Akinjo goes a little askew from what the coaching staff asked him to do. But even if Cryer comes back (which I still don't think we'll see him for any meaningful length of time, even if he does), I still think you'll see Bonner get some minutes.Timbear said:
Does Baylor have a 6 man rotation now due to injuries, or a 7 man rotation. Thank you. I'll hang up and listen.
Bonner's development has been a godsend. Without his ability to provide some competent minutes at the two guard spots, we'd really be up a creek with all the injuries we've had.DanaDane said:Seems like you're asking is Bonner part of the rotation.

So, we have a 7 man rotation counting Bonner and Sochan, and then 8 if Cryer is ever able to play again. As VB said, I think we could see either Turner or Loveday for a couple of minutes in a game where we get into foul trouble. But I don't see them being part of an actual rotation, like Drew has typically done in the 5-7 minute windows the past few years.
