    Could the Baylor game be on this Thursday?

    GU has an off day as does Baylor...could it happen?

    I think it is up to “TV” scheduling to see if it is viable...

    Would we want to play them now?

    What would be the “+’s” and “-‘s” of playing this game now?

    Zags are in a WCC-induced trough right now. Could be a good wake up call. Certainly a nice cash injection for the coffers. No downside. Losing to the solid #2 is fine. Would be ratings bonanza, recruiting bonanza, student application and fund raising bonanza. Raising freshman, funds & friends, remember.

      Our Zags seem to have been a bit off the last couple of games from early in the season. The inside penetration is not at the level they were earlier on and the transition game has slowed. A #1 ranked team should be blowing out teams like SMC and Portland in a big way. Not sure right now is when we want to face Baylor, but that just me.

        Depends if Baylor wants to add a very tough game inbetween Kansas Monday and OK St. Saturday. I think it's more likely that we play a WCC team who has a cancellation Thursday.

          I would be all for it. With that said we would get blown off the floor if we bring the same effort and passion we have been accustomed to the last few games.

            Given the struggles over the past two games, I think Coach is looking forward to some extra practice time this week.

              Agreed. Few himself said Zags looked and played tired vs Gaels so I’d be real surprised if they add a Thursday game. The extra practice would give Gregg some time to catch up and perhaps start earning some of Watson’s minutes.

                Oklahoma State is apparently on pause due to Covid positive test. Assuming they don't lift their pause this week, that game with Baylor is off. Baylor has Kansas on Monday and that's it.
                I take nothing nor anyone on this forum seriously in any form or way. It is no more or less than a satirical board until legitimacy is restored.

                  Would love to see it. I don’t think we would beat them, especially playing like we are now. Could light a fire under our butts though

                    Hope the Baylor tilt happens sooner than later, this Thursday if details can be ironed out in time. I think a challenge like that is needed by the Zags, since it's not likely to happen over the balance of WCC play. Be the best, beat the best. The national viewing audience would be huge (assuming ESPN doesn't air it at 2:30 Thursday afternoon).

                        Baylor didn’t exactly light it up yesterday either.

                            Pass on this game. We need to get better. Few will find a game.
