Bayless Must Step Up
WASHINGTON -- Where has Jarryd Bayless been? He just, around the 9:30 mark, scored his first bucket of the second half. Why has the diaper dandy who averages 20 a game been so quiet?
Some credit is due to West Virginia. Its defenders have stayed in front of him almost all night. And he's been dishing to Chase Budinger a decent amount, and that has gone pretty well; Bud has 18. But as I said at halftime, Bayless needs to show his explosive side and take over this game.
He has eight right now with eight to go and his team down four. If he scores 16, his team wins. If not, they go home.
