Sometimes it doesn’t take long to think disaster is inevitable. And one game into the 2018-2019 season, the Baylor Bears season looked over. The team fell to Texas Southern at home. Two time zones away at UNLV, Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua played three minutes in a double digit loss to Loyola.
The Bears would find that despair in November—something that perhaps more of us should remember when our preferred candidates lose an election—did not mean much. The Bears rallied to win an NCAA Tournament game.
Tchamwa Tchatchoua would flash plenty of potential that season too. After the firing of Marvin Menzies he’d end up at Baylor and be part of a team that makes anyone taking the field in a “Gonzaga, Baylor or the field” debate someone that should take the first step and admit they have a gambling problem.
