Believe that was almost 6 min (5:30ish) with no bucket...

Terrible way to end the half when they could have kept their foot on their neck when they were down.

You wait until :05 left in the clock to start the play then jack up a 30ft shot?

Our last points were with 6:13 left in the half and it was 31-16.

possible but not likely.

Baylor usually plays better in the second half.

These "flat lines" on offense are no bueno. We used to have that issue often

Where is Akinjo tonight ? We need to see him scoring
Adams is good defensive coach. It's apparent his strategy was to take Akinjo out of the mix. Watch it closely in the 2nd half. Anytime Flo or Bonner are on the floor and are basically no scoring threats, he rolls a 2nd defender off to cover Akinjo from both sides. Mayer has gotta become a scoring threat again or teams are gonna start rolling defenders off him.

Need to come out of the break full throttle and get back to a double digit lead. Play Tech as if they were Gonzaga.

Did we already play the 2nd half and I missed it?

I was kinda skeptical when I saw the info from Drew in the tweet by Jon Rothstein this morning. Sounded like he just wanted to make Adams and Tech prepare as if Sochan was gonna play when there was actually no way he was gonna play. I'm hoping it's not more than a 1-2 week injury.

We have some of the laziest passers on the planet it seems... Last three games in a row we've been getting eaten alive. Not sure why they keep doing it, but they seem to think there is no issue. So many times the angle isn't there and they still try and push it.

Other than Akinjo, our guards give up the ball way to often on set passes
