Baylor forward Flo Thamba during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game, Monday, Feb. 28, 2022, in Austin, Texas. FORT WORTH — Baylor senior forward Flo Thamba vows the top-seeded Bears aren’t looking past first-round opponent and 16th seed Norfolk State in the NCAA Tournament at 1 p.m. Thursday in Dickies Arena.
Baylor is trying to become first team to repeat as national champion since Florida in 2006 and 2007 under then-coach Billy Donovan. “There are bands and fans and the hotels are full,” Drew said, grinning. “… People bring energy — fans bring energy. It’s exciting to be back.” “The bubble was pretty good to us now, right?” Drew said with a chuckle. “There were a lot of positives about the bubble. We ended up not only having a great time together, but winning it. There are more distractions with fans, and there’s more energy with fans.The Bears had to replace four starters from last year’s champion, including NBA draft picks Davion Mitchell and Jared Butler.
“When he’s done playing basketball, Adam wants to be a pediatrician,” Drew said. “Normally, you don’t want to be a pediatrician unless you really care for other people. Any time you have an experienced player, a leader that cares that much about his teammates, you know they’re going to make a great leader.With the absence of fans last year, the NCAA expects to do big business this year at the eight regionals spread across the land.
