Ashley, all the predictions are for KSU, is that just a typo, or carried over from Sat.? I saw that on ESPN WVU is the favored team by the prediction model they use. I have not seen WVU play, but I have to imagine Baylor will be ready to step up the defensive effort. I like the Bears winning this one.

I think any conference game we win (especially on the road) will be an upset.

WVU is always a hard place to win when we had a solid team - this is a tough spot for the Bears. Could be a make or break game for the season...

It's about that point in the season when CSD pulls a rabbit out of his hat. Looking down the entire bench and not seeing much hope, but let's see. May be time to suit up some of the 12-15 GA's in BU pullovers that we all wonder WTH they really do?

Got a weird feeling we win this by double digits.

Flagler and George combine for 50

So the game isn't on the ESPN app via Amazon Fire Cube and in the ESPN mobile it says 'event hasn't started.'

Update: it works now

CSD gave the quick hook to Flo after a soft dunk attempt and the jumper. I like it

Another night of stumbling and fumbling our way through a game. I miss those 15-0 runs we used to see nightly.

If we were anything close to our old selves we'd easily have a double digit lead right now.
