Baylor fans who have been around a while have a creeping sense of dread in the big moments. At least, this fan does.
A 1v16 game with a short rotation, coming off a loss to Oklahoma in the first round of the Big XII Tournament, injuries and nagging aches, potential for an off-shooting game against a defensive minded team that doesn’t mind being physical. My warped mind can always find the way to lose.
Clearly, these Baylor Bears don’t have that.
James Akinjo recorded the fourth points-assists double-double game by a Bear in the NCAA Tournament, joining Davion Mitchell and Pierre Jackson, scoring 10 points and 10 assists in the 85-49 victory over the Norfolk State Spartans.
