Sloppy TO, missed dunk and a 3/4 empty arena. Sounds like every home game this year save 3 or 4.

Big Jo back from a potty break. At least he didn't grab a stack of towels while in the team huddle like Bill Walker of KSt several years ago.

I was hoping we could use that as an excuse for not showing up ha. Dang

I'll be spending my entertainment $s on the Lady Bears this weekend. They're playing in a game that actually matters.

Wagner shoots 4-23 in the 1st and 4-5 so far in the 2nd.

I guess they decided against the 20 second reset on offensive rebounds. Did they say anything about that on TV?
BaylorProud77
How long do you want to ignore this user?
You bet. Looking forward to that!!!
rudylaw

FTs are ugly.

Yes. Baylor doesn't have the proper equipment for the clocks. That is arriving tomorrow and will be in place if we win and advance.
BaylorProud77

Of course I still want the boys to win. I'm watching like it does matter because I don't want them to lose
rudylaw
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Wagner definitely wants it more. Talent separation only reason we're up 10.
VaeBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Missing something for the clock to be able to do that
vanillabryce

Yeah they're playing hard. We are just playing.
