Who said this was going to be a 20-point loss? I certainly expect Baylor to right the ship and win.

Why are we trying to throw 20 foot passes into traffic. None of our guards up top are trying to penetrate into their zone. It's basketball 101, if you stand around and expect to pass around the perimeter you will get blown out which is what is happening. Wish we had a true scorer on this team, we will get upset in the NCAA playing like this.

If Ole Miss shoots like this for the whole game, then they deserve to win.

he is over 40% from 3. All he does is shoot 3s. And we were playing him off like he was going to drive. Scouting report...

Better start playing basketball. Standing around not knowing what to do on offense and getting owned on the other end.

Exactly. Guard play is terrible so far. NOTHING inside.

There you go Lindsey. Drive and dish. Lindsey will need to take some shots to keep them honest though when driving.

Nuni saving us today so far.

Good news is down only 10 after 15 mins of poor play. Plenty of time.

you compared it to WVU. I just don't like early overreactions based on small samples, just a pet peeve.

what a bucket from Mot! 33-27 Ole Miss now... BOOM

Nice double team on D. I don't think any team has been this hot against us all season or scored this well against our D.

Great comeback after a very hot start by Ole Miss

33-27 Ole Miss

These step back NBA shots will not work all game. Unreal some of the shots they've made but that's what you expect on your home floor.

Great hustle by ISH to get the offensive rebound then come back and hit the 3. Unreal
