Saw Baylor last year, very talented, played under their talent level. Very tall and long and athletic. They lost their best guard from last year, which may be a good thing for them, since he liked to jack up a lot of shots.

Plus we get to see the new PG today (if he plays).

Exciting game, shame we didn't win it.

I think the main thing we learned is that there is an excellent chance that Carlino is going to be very, very good. And a star at BYU. He impressed. For one, he looks to be further ahead of Jimmer when Jimmer was a frosh. Of course Carlino made some critical mistakes as well, but I'll give him a pass in his first game--which happened to be against a top 10 team with a lottery pick. Perry Jones impressed the hell out of me. He has improved a lot since last year.

Had Rogers been healthy, and Carlino been playing this whole season, I think BYU wins that game.

Imagine that we can schedule teams like that equally on a regular basis. We would have exciting upsets more frequently (like vs OK St). Maryland pounds Duke on an annual basis.
