We finally got it close enough to get the crowd excited/involved. It's tougher for your opponent to play confidently when you put some actual pressure on them -- especially on the road.

If only Langston were available….

If we lose tonight, Walter will be the biggest culprit. He has been a momentum vacuum tonight. Every time we have a chance to steal momentum, he does something stupid.



I think you are right. I now see the cracks in UT's armor. Take away Asmus and they can be beaten. Still don't see us winning tonight. Hope I'm wrong.

If we stop the turnovers and force some on ut, we win this game.

These FTs from here on out are critical.

It's weird how much we struggle with pressure free throws.

But we're right in the game. Win the last seven minutes and we win.

Bridges needs to make his free throws.

how many games are we going to say "*** hit your damn free throws?"

I like how we're attacking. But you've got to make your free throws once you get to the line.

It's become a Baylor trait.

We're a really good second-half team. Have been all year.

The key is keeping it close enough in the first half for that to matter.

Our adjustments are great almost every game. It would be nice if we started stronger, but that wouldn't be fair to our opponents.

For those of you at home, it's as hot in here as it used to be at the unairconditoned HOT.

"UT is better than us"

Maybe not.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

Gotta stay tough, Bears. More than 4 minutes left to go.

Bad closeout by Dennis, but I didn't see much contact.
