OT: Baylor down 7 to Huston-tillotson at home

[opinpi]

Anyone ever heard of this NAIA School? According to their page on ESPN, they've only played 4 games this year and lost all of them. I'm sure Bayler will end up blowing them out though.

UPSET ALERT!

Oh wait, ESPN only does that this early for Kentucky games.

Why on earth is this game being played in the middle of conference play? There must be some sort of staff connection, but still. Very strange. But I guess this type of game doesn't impact RPI, correct?

It's also weird that this team has only played 4 games all year...must be a budget issue or something

Can't rely on ESPN for this kind of info. They have played more games than that.....

Ah....good catch....my bad.

But Baylor up by 1 at the half to a team that only won two games this year...is odd

There is a weird reason.
Game was scheduled as backdrop for movie.
About a fifty six year old who was going to play for Houston.
Ken Carter, already the subject of one movie.
Starring Samuel l Jackson as coach Carter.
Surprisingly, the fifty six year old isn't playing college basketball.
But they are going to pay the game anyway.

Ended up winning the game by twenty.Not sure I can blame baylor for not coming out ready to pay this game and will refrain from taking anything away from it. Other than drew runs an odd program down there.

Coach Carter 2, His First Assignment

For those like me that have no idea what HBCU is?

HBCU = historically black colleges and universities.

Correct; nor does it even count as a regular season game. It's basically an exhibition game.
