We could talk about the game's they've played so far in the 2012 march madness basketball tournament, we could go into a bit of detail and write a short blurb about each game since the page is currently lacking information of that nature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carthewd (talk • contribs) 01:59, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

thats good, we should also add a section on the players that stand out the most, a little summary about each one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariamassaad (talk • contribs) 02:26, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I like that idea Mariam

Because this tournament is ongoing and currently taking place we can talk about the game they will play tonight and obviously the results and like you guys mentioned, talk about the players that stood out in the game. The further they go, the more we will have to talk about so after tonights game ill post some stuff tomorrow on the outcome

I like that idea, hopefully they continue to advance.

Hey guys I'm really sorry but I was trying to do the remove the edit we made, print the original, and then copy the edit back on, and after I removed the edit my computer crashed and I lost the page that I had the edit saved on. I will do my best to fix it to the best of my memory.

Alright I added the information that I remembered from Mariam's post as well as some information on the game vs. Xavier, let me know what you think.

In the sweet 16 game vs Xavier University, Baylor shot out of the gate with a commanding 20-4 lead, only to have that lead cut to 7 at half time. The non existant paint game of the Baylor Bears in the second and third rounds was finally existant in the game against Xavier. Quincy Acy's powerful dunks and paint game helped spark the Baylor bears through out the game. Qunicy acy finished with a team high 20 points and 15 rebounds. Point guard Pierre jackson added 15 and Perry Jones III had 14 points. Burlington Ontarios Brady Heslip helped clinch the game by knocking down 4 crucial free throws in the last minute. Free throws for Helsip had become automatic for the sophomore who was shooting 93.8% this season from the line going into the game vs. Xavier- brandon

^ dont know who wrote this but I like it!

hey guys im getting kind of confused on whose saying what, so can we put our names at the end of the sentence? just to keep things clear and see whose doing what. Plus, whoever wrote that passage above ^ should put it on the page, with the appropriate references. - Mariam

Also, I think it would be appropriate if we add a little passage on their head coach, he did lead them to where they are, here's what I could find on him: Scott Drew, as the Baylor Bears head coach for the ninth season, guided the Bears to several new records and 15 home wins. With his coaching and rebuilding task, the Baylor Bears advanced to the Elite Eight in the 2009-10 season, for the first time in the modern era of the NCAA Tournament. After entering the season, Baylor won a school-record 28 games, including a school-best 11 Big 12 games. In the end, The Bears tied for second in the Big 12 standings - their best conference finish since 1988, all thanks to their head coach. Drew's 2008-09 squad did something the 2007-08 Bears were unable to accomplish, they were able to win a postseason game. On a national level, the Media praised Drews' efforts and he was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year by Rivals.com. He was also named Coach of the Year by the United States Basketball Writers Association. - Mariam

thats a great edit, should we add it to one of the existing subheadings or create a new one? - Daniel

I just put it under pre season, just because i couldnt figure out how to make a new heading, so if anyone can find out how to make a new heading feel free to move it there. - Mariam

Okay I'll do that now - Daniel

Oh thats perfect Daniel, it looks great, thanks - Mariam

Mariam, I like the idea on the head coach, but just remember that this is a wikipedia page o the 2011-2012 baylor bears, but i think in tis instance it's fine because the coach is there still and its good to know some back ground of his success as a head coach, but just keep that in mind.- brandon

On Sunday, March 25 2012, the Baylor Bears played The University of Kentucky in an elite 8 match up to see who would advance to The Final Four in New Orleans to face Lousiville. The bears were unable to match the length and athletisiscm of the Kentucky players. Kentucky dominated the first half and led by 20 points going into half time. Kentucky managed to absorb a 9-1 Baylor run mid way through the second half and got back to playing there up tempo game, leading them to the 82-70 victory over the Bears. Unfortunetly for the Bears, there season came to an end in this elite 8 match up.- brandon

that looks like a great edit to put in, post it. - daniel

yeahh I see where you're coming from with that Brandon, I'll keep that in mind. And that is a great post - Mariam

Could we get a statement from Brady on what could have went wrong, or what they would want to improve on for next year? or just any reflection on the last game or how the season went? - Mariam

That would be awesome if possible! - Daniel

i'll ask him tonight and post something later on about it- brandon

I talked to Brady earlier today and this is his quote about some reasons he thought played a factor into the loss against Kentucky. "They are the most athletic team in the country they forced us into turnovers and tough shots. They converted in transition and really showed their athleticism and sped the game up. They defended well too." - Brandon.

Going to post a paragraph about the senior Quincy Acy: Once of Baylor's four senior's, Quincy Acy, had an outstanding year in not only the Final Four tournament but the regular season, and pre-season as well. He scored double-digits in the points column in a number of games, as well as setting a career high in blocks with 6 in a single game. Quincy will be graduating this year and he is a eligible prospect for the upcoming NBA Draft. While Baylor will be losing a strong player and leader, they have a number of junior's and sophomore's with the talent and ability to step up into a leadership role for the 2012-13 season. *change anything that needs changing on the actual wiki page. - Daniel
