What makes anyone think that Mirk is just going to step in and pick up where he left off last year?

This, unfortunately. Have a feeling it's going to be a long road for him to get back to where he was. We can't have nice things.

Who said he was going to step in and pick up where he left off last year?

Even if he has to readjust to the game I’d much rather have a guy that was picked preseason first-team All-American than not have him.

The L won't hurt us at all. They're legit. We were always overranked at 3. This is probably an even matchup on a neutral floor, particularly if Mirk were healthy.

Stunningly flat in the first half being a commonality of this game and Baylor is concerning. FTs and being hot/cold from 3 are not really new.

Getting more from the freshmen than I would have expected and less from Vaaks. Probably a function of how developed the AAU/HS game has gotten now while colleges gave up some of the advantages of having guys gel for 4 years on defense, but we've had very good luck with freshmen lately.

I think we were well-deserving of a number three ranking with healthy personnel, but clearly not without two starters and multiple freshmen playing big minutes.

TT didn't have 2 time All American JT Toppin. We didn't have Mirk or Jake Davis. Does Stilwell get a double double if Davis was playing ? None of that matters.
We shot 50%, somehow, and lost to a team that shot 40%. Their quickness, their rebounding, their free shots, our free shots and our turnovers done us in.
We got beat but gave ourselves a chance to get a road win in front of a great crowd. This game should help us.

Hopefully it does not take him long to get in game shape and his shot back. Will have my cup on.....

Don't worry until it's time to worry.

It is time to worry about free shots.

It is what it is. Good shooting teams don't shoot 25% from the line or the 3 point line.

Elite shooting teams ? That's a different kettle of fish.
