This feels like the WVU game, rattled for some reason and out of the game plan already.
oh, stop it. WVU was the #1 kenpom team when we played them, this is a borderline top 100 team that is off to a standard home team hot start

For as bad as we started and as hot as they did, I'll take only being down 4.

Get Jo out if he isn't going to bring it.

Manu 3! Great set up by McClure.

Weak ass call on King...

Ole Miss is playing their best basketball to date. I seriously doubt they can maintain this energy for the rest of the game.

I'm not sure about that foul from King on the 3. The guy jumped forward 3 feet on his jump shot.

King needs to keep being aggressive off the bounce. Adds a whole new dimension to our offense especially if he can hit our 3.

Great segment w/ ISH.

Chuck & King haven't played in over 3 games, interesting they are in together w/out Manu.

Oh stop it? Seriously? Not making conclusions, and I expect the game to come around, just disappointed with the energy at the start. That's allowed.

Freeman should have called timeout.

Sucks that King already has 2 fouls.

That pass into the trap was not smart

These guys were looking too far ahead to Kansas..

Why do we struggle so much against pressure?

Old miss on pace for 100+. Don't think that keeps up.

not guarding well

22-14 Rebel

and 4th year junior Al Freeman with the weak turnover.
Bears8375

Bricking wide open 3s while Ole Miss just throws **** up and it goes in.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
not the effort we were hoping for. Better start competing at a much higher level.

More weak calls on the all american. As is tradition.
riflebear

Who are these refs?

Shady call on Motley, just a little forearm. This is why I hate how the B12 allows more aggressive play throughout conference and then we go to an SEC or NCAA game and they call it tight. Hard to be consistent if you are a player. No way that would have been called in B12 unless we were @ KU.

Motley wasn't even in that play. Ridiculous.
manalive137

Just called a foul on Motley for standing 5 feet away from the rebound.

Why do we keep throwing it into the corner when they are trapping and our corner guys won't penetrate?

Nuni finally breaks that trend. Great 3
Bear-0-Daktyl

Nuni!!

don't trust Freeman- he seems like a mental mess right now.

Why is our offense to throw into a corner trap.

you can't compare @ WVU to any other game than @ Kansas, even when it "feels" like it to you. this isn't gonna be a 20-point Baylor loss lol

just need to keep playing hard and hitting some shots and this will be another Baylor win.

SO we can drive and get contact and no call?
