And why does drew use his last timeout when we have the under 4 next.

Are you serious? The refs have singlehandedly turned all the momentum to Tech.

We can still win this. Just gotta stay composed like they have all season.

Hard to play defense when you're getting called for a foul every single trip down the floor...

I would not say that. Clear bias but BU can play much better than they are

going to lose this damn game. What a shame.


Tough to beat 8 vs. 5. Never seen a top ranked team get screwed like this against a team with no history of doing anything.

I'm sure the technical was undeserved also. Jokers...

19 Fouls called on BU this half.

19.

A decision was made at halftime.

Wait... make it 20 now.

And mitchell just picked up his 2nd. Tell me again how the refs aren't influencing this game.

Really? They are literally calling every little touch now.

Chuck is lost man. Why is Drew playing him?

This is a repeat of the Kansas game. Tech has been called for 1 foul since the 12:50 mark. Baylor has been called for 10.

Lol.

The touch fouls on us this game have been incredible. Tech is attacking though and we aren't good enough in man to handle their motion offense. WE need to play zone knowing these refs are calling everything.

Did Fuente leave the room?


No, Fuentes did not leave, can't overcome these officials.

Jeff Goldblum has a thought....

Kudos to the players for being relatively patient. I'd be pissed

McClure needs to hit an open shot
Media Bear

King misses a wide open 3. Gotta hit those in this situation.

2 blowouts on the road won't look good. Hope we can keep it close and respectable.
baylrballa
How long do you want to ignore this user?
At least 4 wide open 3s missed down the stretch.

Missed front end.

Motley putting a lot of bad tape up for NBA scouts
riflebear

I can't believe we're going to get jobbed from a B12 title on Tech's home floor. Baylor was up 9 and then all hell broke loose for us.

We've stopped attacking and now have no one scoring for us.
GoldMind

Not sure where on a scale of 1-10 of embarrassment I should be.
Chad 2 the Bone

And another missed ft.

We have been abysmal ever since that Tech. No one else came thru. This one is on us even with the refs

refs gonna call ittTech for some fouls now to even it up. What a d@mn joke.

We're really missing good freeman this 2nd half.

Motley is too slow and doesn't have the bounce to be a lottery pick. He's great but not quick enough or tough enough to play immediately in the NBA.

Watch KU lose tonight though.
