Announcers put on mute apparently. I could live with just watching the game and no commentary.....

Scott is coaching his ass off. Trying to engineer some energy.

18-11 Texas Tech

Big shot by Nuni in the corner. We are going to need him tonight. Just picked up #2 foul.

Are the commentators even at the game? It sounds like they are in the studio calling the game.

Sucks Nuni has 2 fouls already. We need him tonight against a very athletic Tech team from the perimeter.

If I was the coach of this team, we'd stay the the gym and run laps till we puke.

I don't think they are. Watch part of another game this year (not Baylor) where the announcers were not in the building. Hard to listen to IMO.

Thankfully Tech has gone cold, they've missed some wide open shots.

Maston showing up in a big way (someone called that today....)

Tech w/ a lucky bank shot over Acuil's arms.

20-17 Tech
9 min

Great comeback by Baylor to weather the early storm.

Baylor's bench outscoring the our starters 15-2.

King w/ 2 early misses, need him to get going.

22-19 Texas Tech up with Stevenson going to the line for 2 shots.

Acuil lucky not to get stripped and then hits an 8 foot hook.

22-19 Tech going to the line. Acuil w/ a bad foul but credit Tech for attacking.

Manu, Wainright and Motley haven't given us much early on.

Great D Manu. He's a very underrated defender. One of our best guards on the defensive side we've ever had.

24-12 run after our very slow start when we were down 14-2. Impressive on the road to do that in less than a half.

Then we give away opts w/ a lane violation.

Great job by Acuil to go straight up and take the hit w/out fouling. Glad they made that a rule this year.
