Baylor played better defense in the first half.

Obviously with 10 points shaved off the lead

Mistake for Baylor to burn that timeout 12 seconds before the tv timeout.

Much better defense that possession.

Yep. Just as I was typing in my comment about D.

I should have posted that earlier!

Time for Drew to make these players who are unable to "catch" a ball to carry a basketball with them the next day to class. Ridiculous.

Our transition D is beyond pathetic.

I believe we had called this out in the Nichols State thread. It's really bad

Yes. Lohner back in the game..you'd think with 7 coaches on the bench they'd figure it out

We need to make shots… just so I don't have to watch Miles streaking down the floor

How many 3's have we tried this half? Gotta trust our shooters

Positive note… our close outs have been really good tonight.

We're back to being spectators again. Used all our powder in first half.

We've stopped moving the ball. We're taking a lot of bad shots right now. And bad shots equal layups for this TCU team.

7? I think about 15

Plus we got loaded up on fouls and everyone trying to survive to the final 4 min. We're gonna blow a 17 point lead at home

TCU is good, but we have had stretches like this in every game.

We are good at that when we have an inside out game. Offense doesnt look aggressive at all 2nd half. Not as bad as past games...

Let's stop Miles here!

This press is trash. Just get back and play D.

Yes, they are but no excuse for all the transition giveaways

This team is really frustrating to watch.

Stop with the gimmick switches....get on your man and stay on him....

We struggle with offensive rebounds too

George has gone cold. That's not good.

We're now 0-5 from 3 in the 2nd half.

We are so SLOW
BluesBear

We live and die by the 3. We gave up a 9 foot shoot....
