Baylor has enough talent and shooting to stick around, but they’re not good enough defensively or on the boards. Wouldn’t be surprised if they keep it close but can’t get over the hump, or lose by 15+

Bold pick! I also think they’ll lose between 1-30 points.

Only surprising one on there is the UC Davis coach, but only cuz I've never heard of him.

Jim Les, wasn't he a guard at Bradley?

Baylor is beyond terrible at doing the little things

 

[NENick]

Baylor could've cut it to 7. Back to 15.

They switched my ESPN to an NBA game?

 

[NENick]

First time I've seen an ongoing game on ESPN get moved (to espnu in this case). Doncic Laker debut takes precedent.

Exactly why I wouldn’t be surprised if Baylor loses close or gets blown out haha

Turnovers the story, Baylor 60% from 3

Great pull my man

 

[cycloneman003]

He's one of the worst.

Bingo. For some reason he get's the great guy shine, but he's right up there with the scummiest of them all.

 

[cyclones500]

coached there too

Wasn't Les mentioned on lists of "maybe" successor to McDermott?

Maybe it was single random speculative article, or mentioned on CF, or perhaps I'm imagining it entirely.

Bradley had a few decent seasons around that time. JP probably wasn't going to the MVC well right away, so it'd be moot.

He's played the 'my wife had cancer' card a lot. He's not a good dude and is going to be the perfect successor to Izzo.

So what qualifies a coach as “scummy”
