Another frustrating game for George so far. He needs to let the game come to him more. The hero ball stuff doesn't work at this level.

That's not his job. If he's guarding a driving guard, it's because one of our guards got beat.

We'll sure but just to watch the guy blow by? Team?

Our guards need to stay in front of their damn man. They get beat routinely.

By the time a big is switching on, it's too late most times.

We get into these offensive lulls that are very frustrating

George in a funk still (2-9).
Flagler yet to show up.
Bridges with 3. Fouls.
Hearing more woo pig sooie over the radio than anything out of the BU fans.
Bears missed last 8 shots.

Don't like the way this is trending at the moment

Maybe we spent all of this weeks powder on KU?

When your offense is almost entirely jump shots and long 3s you'll go through long scoring droughts at times.

Finally! A Bears bucket. By George no less.

Um, someone forgot to tell Baylor to keep their tickets. Way too much arky fan noise. This is the downside of BU athletics, too easy for a contingent of the opposing teams fans to infiltrate. Used to hate the big games vs OU where it was just as loud when baker mayfield was marching down the field.

We better not lose to today. These guys need to put them down early. Dont let arky stay in this game.

Don't forget that the largest concentration of Hog fans outside Arkansas at the DFW area.

Wow. Love and Bridges both with 3 fouls! And Lohner with 2.

Has been last 3 games. He's funkified at the moment.

Hey Lohner, there's a reason no one's guarding you. Pass the ball.

Poor shot selection

Arky is just good enough, and we're in a funk, to go on a 20-0 run before we know it. Cmon Bears. Pretend it's KU.
