Newy Scruggs, sports anchor at NBC5 in Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS-TV) and radio host weekly from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on NBC Sports Radio Sirius XM 213/202 and NBCSportsRadio.com, answered questions in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:
Question: After the loss of Rico Gathers and Taurean Prince, should Baylor fans brace for a down year?
Newy Scruggs: I keep thinking that every time Scott Drew loses a player it will be a down year but Baylor keeps on being competitive. They are picked to finish fifth but remember the Big 12 has been a darn good conference the last three seasons so a winning conference record is going to be good enough to make the NCAA Tourney.
