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

He is a scary looking guard...but a very good player.

Would love to bury a team, and none more than TCU. Put your foot on their neck, Bears!

he's a 4 year guy, and yes he will be an All-Big 12 player.

TCU's best recruit ever.

I really liked karviar shepherd. He could have been a very good player. Sadly stuck on a terrible team.

he comes off their bench as a SR, but yeah, he got crappy coaching. nice body, decent tools. Drew and staff would have molded him into a good player.

Mot scores off an inbounds pass, then Fisher quickly answers with a nifty scoop. 51-35 BU 10:10

Jake in and out from the paint, Mot over the back

He could have gone to a lot of places and I think end up a better overall player.

Mot scored again... then Fisher hit a 3... then Mot scored again. lol

Pushing the ball and not turning it over
Attacking, being aggressive off the bounce including against the press
Excellent Defense
Shutting down their best player

One of our best performances of the season so far.
Our fan base needed a blowout (hopefully) after all these nail biters.

very frustrating offensive day from Jake continues as his front end goes in and out. yikes

TCU bucket. 60-42

Mot no good, finally. he's 11-13 now from the field

Here y'all go letting them get back in it
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.


This is where we have an issue. TCU is never good and I hope they all get gallstones.

TV cut off but looks like Jo scored, then he got a block.... then Manu hits a high running floater off the glass, wow

64-42 BU < 4:00

TCU off from 3, Fisher hits a 3 after the rebound. 64-45

shephard looks like he lacks confidence big time. he looks like an awkard hs kid who is growing into his body. too bad jazzy hartwell pretty much meant we had no chance for him. a redshirt year with us would have done him good.

Come on Tech. Could you imagine the atmosphere if Kansas and Baylor are tied going into the game next Sat.
Hambone

Williams gets a bucket. 64-49 2:15

lob from Ish to Mot and it somehow just gets over the D and Mot scores, wow!

turnover from TCU. 1:46 left. ballgame.
