Baker was badly exposed on defense last night

He just isn’t tall enough, athletic enough, or quick enough to play in the BIG12.

Tough to bench a guy who leads the B12 in assists and has the highest ceiling on the team

There is a difference between being passive and just getting blown by.

He & Richie both struggle mightily out there against some matchups.

I'm well aware of that. It got Richie reassigned defensively, too.

Here are the top 5-man lineups that have played at least 15 possessions together

I don't know what this tells us, but the #1 lineup there would get
