Great finish for Baylor after struggling for most of the half. Good confidence builder for these new players heading to the beaches.

Lecomte w/ 2 FTs

77-67

Dang - OU blew a huge lead to Northern Iowa and lost in OT. First loss by a Big 12 team besides KU.

Good to see this team can win even when going cold from 3.

31 attempts from the FT line tonight - very nice.

Wainright should never lead our team in FG attempts.

Most of those were post up or put backs but he is now shooting 25% for the season from 3 which is down from 40% last year. Teams will scout us and start giving him the 3 and playing off of him and helping down on our bigs and on Lecomte/Freeman. He's a great glue guy and does a lot for us but we really need that 3rd 3pt shooter from our wing or someone who can score.

At least he's shooting 50% from 2pt but his misses are really off this season. He doesn't have as much time to set himself as he did last year. We really need someone else to step up from 3. Outside of Maston who had a solid game tonight, our other 3 bench players were no shows (Lindsey, McClure & Chuck) on offense.

If we had a Prince or O'Neale type player we would be a Top 5 team right now. I'd be curious to see us play Acuil Motley & Maston at the same time w/ Lecomte & Freeman. It won't work all the time but vs the right lineup it would be an interesting experiment.
