Xavier not attacking our zone at all. Very intimidating when you're on the floor.

That was the most Baylor timeout ever. The students were ready to blow the roof off this mf'er, Jump Around was already playing, beat about to drop... and they stop it so kids can play dress up on the court. Know when to call an audible guys.

We're extending this lead w/ Lindsey & ISH on the floor who give us very little on offense. It shows when the shot clock is running down though but they are our best defenders up top.

This might sound like too much homerism, but this might be the best team in the nation right now.

I think we'll see teams trap us more in the f/c after the end of this one. Our biggest weakness to date but easily fixed.

Appreciate that Xavier is giving us experience facing a quality press at the end of the game. When the W is secure. We seem to need to practice that.....
