Same. It's on espn+ also but you have to also pay for that.

If Celestine isn't going to knock down open 3s, he brings very little to this team.

When you have such a narrow skill set, you need to bring that skill consistently.
He's part of the reason I'm not giving Drew and staff a pass with the excuse "we didn't have enough money." We still had money when we brought him in instead of front court reserve. He was sold as a stretch 3 or 4 and he's been a streaky shooting guard his entire life. He was never gonna be an inside guy for us and we were full of guards. Plus, he was just another guard who couldn't play D very well.

Still within striking distance. But will need a big run soon


Down by 12 now then we step out of bounds, so getting a comeback is getting tougher
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

There is still time. But we need stops and no more turnovers

Nunn has just been absolutely brutal this year. Celestine is what he is. A 3pt shooter whose borderline unplayable when he's not hitting 3's

Now if only my guys would start rebounding and defending better.

Celestine has been so bad tonight

We needed a few more bench guys. NO out with 4 fouls.

Now we get called for a hook, which Houston does routinely

It starts with our guards. Those guys get beat so consistently, they put us in one bad situation after another.

Haven't had a good defensive guard since you know who. Loved the way that dude would meet the other team's guard at half court looking like he was ready to smack him around..

This has been a tough watch. So many self inflicted wounds

I still don't understand why there were any expectations for Nunn to be more than what he is right now. Nothing last year looked impressive in his game, he's a low talent guy we ended up with after swinging and missing on better players the year we recruited him

Touch foul on Celestine

Just truly inexcusable that Drew decided to go into the season with literally no backup bigs.

Agreed, but at the end of the day, Houston is just better than we are.

We were never going to beat this UH team on the road.

We don't get the falling down foul

Celestine is so damn soft. I've never seen a softer 6-7 player.

They are but without the self inflicted wounds I'd at least hold out hope we could sneak it out at the end…

We need a real GM badly. The one we allegedly have ain't getting it done. Shockingly I learned tonight that North Carolina does not have a GM. Smart teams will start poaching assistant GMs from the NBA... not just some yokel who was the vice assistant to the assistant director for personnel operations.

It could have been closer than it was. But the biggest reason it's not is that we can't handle their intensity on defense and the offensive glass. That's something Houston brings every game.

I couldn't tell you what this Baylor team's identity is. Though in fairness, it never had enough games with a single rotation to build one.

Nunn is a career 40%+ 3pt shooter shooting well below that. He has made some clutch plays for us in his time. He isn't going to take a game over by himself but that isn't his role. Yes due to his career shooting % we expect a little more from him.

Curious if when we awarded a scholly to the big Croatian dude we had any clue he was at most a practice player barely capable of playing the last minute of occasional blowouts.

I'm questioning how we win a single game. You can't win with five guards on the court. That's what any competent coach will push us to.

We has two chances to put some serious pressure on Houston in this second half, and Nunn missed a layup and Wright got his pocket picked from behind.

Those are plays you can't have when you're trying to fight your way back into a game.

He's a project. Every team has those guys. Our problem is that we don't have enough rotation guys in the front court.

Will win a few. The B12 is cheeks this year. But the margin for error is much smaller than most here want to admit

I hate it when our players become spectators on defense.

It looks like they aren't even trying.

We just beat UCF by almost 20 with this same roster. We'll overwhelm several of the bad teams remaining on our schedule. Houston is just really good.
