That's a great start. We have been lacking that at home. Nice to see us come out and put up a good half.

A little behind but Nuni shot fake and one dribble drive opened up Manu from 3. Like what we are seeing today on both ends.
yeah, he does a lot of good things, promising for next year. also King and Jake have attacked the rim and scored, which is nice to see.

defense has been on point, and aided by a cold shooting day from TCU. a lot to like out there!

What the hell is this 32 point ***** Coach Drew said dominate, and we're not doing it. Did y'all just slap forget how this team has treated us? Their pathetic fanbase calling us rapists? If we don't hold them under 40, I'm gonna be slightly disappointed.

Great adjustments by our staff on Brodzianski. 19pts and 10 reb last game.
2pts and 3 reb at half today.

They have no chance if he isn't scoring.

Well in basketball terms they are right. TCU just got destroyed in the 1st half.

Confront their ass or get security. Don't allow that **** to happen in our house.

easy 2 for Brodz to open the half, then a bad pass turnover from Ish

Williams misses a 3, but grabs the rebound somehow, then Fisher hits a long 2. 32-21 BU 19:15

Good test for this team in the 2nd half. Can we put a team away and keep a big lead?
Hambone

Jo misses the turnaround baby hook, TCU ball

Brodz misses down low, good D from Jo
Hambone

Motley pump-fakes from 3, puts it on the ground, hesitates about 15 feet out, takes 1 more dribble and hammers it home! oh my

Brodz answers with another bucket. let's not get him going.... 34-23 BU
Hambone

Ish finds Manu open in the corner and he drills the 3! timeout Dixon 17:23, BU up 37-23

nice no-look dish there from Ish
riflebear

Great pass by Ish to Manu for the 3 to stop TCUs fast start. That was big.
Hambone

Fisher hits a runner. 37-25 BU

Ish gets the handoff coming around the top and has a wide open lane to the basket and doesn't even think to try and score. We need him to at least attempt some shots when he's wide open.

Manu with the last 5. 42-25 with 16 left.
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Manu with another 3! that one wasn't even open, hit it over the D

now a steal by Manu and then he finds himself open and hits a 17 footer! 42-25 BU

foul on BU, under 16 media TO

Beautiful in bounds play you Drew to get Manu the 3. Double screened his man and TCU bigs didn't help.
riflebear

I love Vital's energy on the bench. He is our Ish 2.0

he needs to at least be a threat to shoot it. his man has to play defense or account for him otherwise it's 4 on 5.

TCU gets an easy 2. 42-27

Manu airballs a 3 as clock winds down (no tip or foul?)
Hambone

Bane off from 3, then Motley goes coast-to-coast and hits a runner in the paint off the dribble, so nice

TCU hits a 3, Miller. 44-30 BU 14:15

Motley coast to coast with the nice floater. Love us pushing it.
Hambone

TCU 3 no good, BU ball 13:35

huh? they made a 3. we are up 14 points.

good teams aren't just going to go away. we are playing a good team. they also have a good coach.

motley just might play his way into being a top 15 pick. he has enough offensive skill to be a nice scoring big man off the bench in the nba.
Hambone

Jo badly bricks a 3.

but he gets a steal, and then Jo is fouled and Kenrich Williams is T'd up!

Manu hits both. 46-30 BU
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Nuni and Jake can't connect on a pass, Jake took off and Nuni had already let it go

Fisher nails a soft 3. 46-33 < 12:00

Jake 3 no good, just off. TCU ball
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Bane misses a 3, Nuni fouled on the break. that is TCU's 5th to Baylor's 1 foul. 46-33 BU 11:08 remains

fisher is a good looking guard as a frosh. he could be all-big 12 if he stayed as a jr or sr.
