J.P. and Josh gather to break down the significance of Baylor's 86-70 win over Gonzaga for the school's third basketball title, its first on the men's side.
After a congrats to one of the good guys out there (3:30), Voice of the Bears John Morris, J.P. goes into what this win means for basketball in the state of Texas (4:47). Then he butchers a trivia question that Josh gets right, but then gets wrong (9:30).
(12:20) And then to the game itself, Baylor jumped on Gonzaga from the get-go and it was not a game despite what sports Twitter and CBS was trying to tell everyone.
They take a glance at the stat board (14:50) and wow oh wow were there some stats that jumped out. They dominated on the boards, the offensive boards, and from three. Baylor peaked at the exact right time (21:10) and left no doubt who the best team is, and then Josh, a typical Longhorn fan, somehow twists it back to UT. But wow does Baylor have something to hold over those 'horns now (23:45).
Josh points out exactly how far Baylor has come (25:10) in the last 18 years. It's just an unbelievable transformation after the sanctions they served. It may not be the most remarkable rebuild ever like Jim Nantz claimed (28:20) on the broadcast, but then J.P. convinces himself that well it may be the most remarkable rebuild.
Is Baylor a basketball school now?!? (31:30) They discuss their thoughts on both sides of it, but admit football will always be king in Texas of course. Surely Scott Drew isn't leaving anytime soon (35:00) so Bears fans can get used to this high level of play.
To round it out the guys throw the third-rate taco joint under the bus again with a funny story (39:00). And JOSH takes one last jab at Baylor's chances of having a movie made about them (41:50).
