I'm trying to reconcile the difference in the pubescent faces of the freshmen in the Baylor Line I see on TV and these two freshmen kids from Washington who physically look like they are in their 30s.

Team can take a charge. That'll serve us well all season except in the Phog.

Where is everybody? Hopefully Fort Worth.

Main negative I see so far tonight is the tendency to not keep spacing. Too many guys in the same small area, limiting passing lanes. Lot of good things too though.

Butler trying to force the ball instead of being patient. Would love to see some more passes into/out of high center.

Why do Washington's jerseys say Dawgs? Could they not spell Huskies?

Missing too many chippies. That was a great pass from Mayer.

Another great feed from Mayer and a missed basket in the lane.

Vital bricks a bunny, hustles back and forces a steal and dunk. Love the short memories our guys have.

Freddie and Vital's hustle is fun to watch, they are everywhere.

Freddie Gillespie is a man among boys.

Love seeing Mayer, the good feeder. Hate seeing pick up basketball shooting Mayer.

Not sure how Gillespie wasn't fouled there when his arm was pulled behind his body.

Gotta let a guy like that play a little reckless at times. He hits that three and it could spark a 25pt night
DanaDane

What a beautiful friggin' pass from Mitchell to Clark!!!!!!

Mayer still got some Jimmer in him. That'll be all we see of him this half/game.

This team is fun to watch! Its early in the year and you can tell we are not use to some of the new players but when this chemistry starts clicking we are going to be great!

I agree but Drew's quick hook says he doesn't. haha

Davion on the break is smooove

No issue with it when you do it smartly - when you allow teammates to get near the basket. Otherwise, it's a frivelous low percentage high schoolish heave, which is what he's prone to do too frequently.

Anyone know where I can find a box score? ESPN doesn't even have the option
DanaDane

The beauty of this team is that we have combos that can work against zones, combos that work against man, combos that work against full court presses, just a unique athletic team.

Passing skills and the hair, Mayer reminds me of Pistol Pete. Not so much with the shooting, however.

Agree with both y'all. He needs to learn when is an appropriate time to heat check

Saw that. Kinda odd. Don't know why they don't have it.

Bandoo MIA tonight. Got a couple of minutes early but seems weird he hasn't seen the court much.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
8 of the 9 man rotation played so far? Thamba the only one who hasn't?
ImABearToo

Didn't expect much from a Mitchell this early.

Yikes this is sloppy on both sides right now.
