Baylor 45, Oregon 42 with 3:50 to play in the 2nd half. If it comes down to free throws, Oregon has the advantage. I hope Makai Mason & Tristen Clark hit some clutch baskets in crunch time for Baylor.

We at least look like we give a damn. If we're gonna suck, at least we're still gonna play hard.

McClure and Butler are not the two I want to see bringing the ball up the court.

I think Butler will be good for us as he gets some more playing time

How big was the lead we had over Texas Southern?

Probably bigger than that.

Gotta say, I like Kegler's defense and rebounding. Everything else, though...yikes.

So we beat Oregon for the right to a rematch with Texas Southern.

Up and down season for sure where they play up to a challenge then turn around and play down to weaker competition. The talent is there to win some games. Maybe that alleged fight got some heads right. Good win though, Sic 'Em!!!!!

Not having the same lineup together for many games hurt early

A least some positive momentum, but oregon will hardly be a resume win

Another big non-conference win over a Pac 12 opponent for the Baylor Bears! Makai Mason made some critical baskets and free throws with the basketball game on the line in the 57-47 Baylor victory. 13 points and 8 rebounds for Tristen Clark. Incredible to hold two Pac 12 opponents under 50 points each! Baylor is now 7-4, and it will be a very merry Christmas for Scott Drew & Baylor Bears basketball!

He's a pretty solid finisher around the basket. I think we need to get him off the wing and on the block as our primary power forward and use Vital as an energy guy off the bench.

That said, I have to give Vital credit today. He played a really nice game.
