You could do worse than reading this out loud a couple of hundred times:

We have a leading candidate for Game of the Year! What a wild contest in College Station, Texas on Wednesday night. Baylor was ranked for the first time in nearly four decades, and the Bears proved the rating was right. It took FIVE overtimes, but Scott Drew’s team came away with a big W over Texas A&M. It was an amazing game, with the Bears winning 116-110. Think about some of the numbers from that contest: Baylor went 11-for-11 from the foul line in the fifth overtime. The two teams combined for 17 ties and 20 lead changes. Baylor snapped a streak of 29 straight losses to ranked opponents. Four players logged 50-plus minutes. It was the longest game in Big 12 history.

Bay-bee!

And, of course, mad crazy props to my boy Scott Drew and the new-look Bears.  See you in the NCAA’s, fellas (because there’s no way you’re getting national TV love this year until then, at least not in NJ).
