It’s a good thing Baylor went with the camouflage shorts today, because after the 42-22 first half, the whole team is looking for somewhere to hide.

Perry Jones III is thrilled to have helped Baylor return to the Elite Eight, but he might be more thrilled to have slowed his slide down the draft board. Baylor awaits the winner of Kentucky-Indiana, a matchup in which all right-thinking people should support the Wildcats, simply because it means Baylor might have to switch to a uniform that doesn’t make a viewer’s eyeballs hemorrhage.

Brady Heslip shot Baylor into the Sweet Sixteen, drilling nine shots from downtown to take down Colorado. All he does is make three-pointers! Really, that is pretty much all he does.
Heslip played 39 of the game’s 40 minutes, and went 9-for-12 from three. He took (and missed) one two-pointer, stole the ball once, turned it over once, and picked up one single rebound. And that is it for his box score contributions. Playing the entire game, you’d think he’d have picked up an assist by accident, or even a foul. But no - if Brady Heslip isn’t going to immediately launch a three-point shot, then he’d rather not touch the ball at all.

Baylor narrowly escaped an upset against the 14th-seeded South Dakota Jackrabbits, which means they’ll be the higher-seeded team in Saturday’s game as well, and they’ll still be wearing their radioactive-Mountain-Dew-colored jerseys. Chad Ford just moved Perry Jones III five slots down in his mock draft, partly because he only scored two points, but mainly because of how much the jerseys hurt his eyes.

Robert Griffin III won the Heisman today, thanks to his nearly 4000 passing yards, 36 TD passes, and badass Superman socks, complete with cape. It was a close race, but ultimately Griffin’s superhuman heroics proved to be Doomsday for Anrew Luck.
Raise your hand if you let America down today.

Ladies and gentleman, you are looking at the top NBA prospect playing in this year’s Final Four. Unless Ekpe Udoh and Baylor can get past Duke tomorrow, Gordon Hayward - the evolutionary Keith Van Horn - will be the most compelling figure for fans of The Association.

LaceDarius, Ekpe, A.J., Quincy, and Tweety vs. Mickey, Matthew, Clint, Ben, and Omar - in hindsight, the outcome seems obvious.
