Playing great defense

I think we will be a look a little less sloppy once we get to Drew's standard 7 man rotation in conference play: Clark, Vital, McClure, Mason, Kegler or Mayer, Bandoo and Thamba.

Great 1st half defensively for the Baylor Bears, holding the Oregon Ducks to 16 points! 28 points is low, but better than the 23 they scored vs SFA on Tuesday night.

It's a bit concerning we're not up by a higher margin. But the defense looks good. Just need better ball movement.

So far this season Kegler looks slow. You can tell from a mile away what he's gonna do when he has the ball and he does it with absolutely no touch at all.
Maybe Kegler will loosen up and get better.........

Ball movement much better for the Bears in the 2nd half. Much, much better.

This is why it's so tough to project NCAA tourney games. You never know what type of officiating you're gonna get and if it matches your style that night you have a higher probability to win than otherwise.

Uhhhh... Thought that would be a foul inside the arc...

Mayer out of control. Drew with too many people in the rotation. And now more new guys. Drew is overcoaching.
