My basketball coach in high school was an old school guy who was basically a black Bobby Knight. I can not begin to tell you the expletives that would be coming out of his mouth in the half time locher room. Too manny turnovers and sofdt defense

Should not be in this position. Very frustrating to play like crap every first half.

b2b 3 balls from Nuni and Ish! 40-35 1:15

we get a block, but Manu called for a carry on the break, :56 left

Baylor 9 turnovers, Ole Miss 1 - how? they average 15+ a game

Carry calls are lame. Do these refs even NBA?
riflebear

I'm not sure about that carry, it looked like Manu kept his left hand on top of the ball.

9 to 1 TOs. Can't believe this team is so bad turning it over w/ all our quality guards.

a turnover to end the half, fitting.

42-35 Ole Miss @ half. all things considered, not too bad.

Was our last play really to post up Acuil 8 feet from the basket? Crazy half but at least we are only down 7

Mini Isaiah Austin is bossing us.

10-1 Turnovers. Blessed we are only down 7 at the half.

Are Jo's hands cast iron or a nice Calphalon?

Baylor only down 7 after Ole Miss playing a nearly perfect half with 1 TO. They average 15 a game.

that was trash. Let's hope the second half is better.

42-35 Ole Miss

Free throws and 0.01 seconds from a tie game.

that is one thing I don't like about this team. Hands not active enough on defense. Ole Miss is averaging 15 turnovers per game. But when you are comfortable, you don't turn it over as much.
riflebear

Sucks Motley has 3 fouls. We need King to step up big in the 2nd half if they play him.

Watching a lot of college bball ist's so frustrating to see our offense stand around and not penetrate or create for each other when that's what every other basketball team does. We will not do well the rest of the season if we don't figure out how to be aggressive. We can't wait for Motley to save us every game when teams are now taking that way. Everyone is double or triple teaming our post players because they know our guards aren't consistent from outside and they rarely penetrate and pull up.
jimdue

Ole Miss sucks because if they were good they would be up at least 15

Something like 9 turnovers to 1. Multiple defensive sets where they got clean looks at the basket.

I thought Motley, Manu and the surprise 3s from 21 is the only reason it is not close to 20.

we are content to sit back and force teams to miss long shots, or to go at the rim and challenge Jo/Mot/even Ish

we are prone to hot shooting teams and highly efficient offenses. Ole Miss has flashed some of both, somehow. Siaz is killing us and they hit 5 3-balls.

we'll be fine.
