Loved seeing Mitchell defend and force an awkward shot (or he'd have blocked it) and JTT collapses down and blocks it himself.
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Rebounds looking a lot better only trail 34-32 and only 9 turnovers

#2 Baylor Bears 77, Oklahoma State Cowboys 61 with 3:32 to play in this Big XII Conference basketball game. Baylor is now shooting 49.2%.

Gotta hold off 1 final OSU run and we can book this as a win and another game up on Kansas.

Kansas isn't really a factor in the race at least at this moment. I'm more worried about Tech and of course Texas

i'm just concerned about UT at this point. Hope somebody else can pin another loss on them before we meet them in Austin.

The speed of our turnaround was shocking. I mean, I guess I should be used to it by now, but this is pretty darn impressive.

DD, how you think we match up against the Zags (particularly inside)?

Technically, it's not a bounce back since they did beat OSU the other day. But we know what you meant!

The #2 ranked Baylor Bears exploded for 49 points in the 2nd Half, and won comfortably, over the Oklahoma State Cowboys, 81-66! Jared Butler led Baylor in scoring with 22 points. Mark Vital scored a career high 19 points. Baylor held another conference opponent to under 70 points. This is the 6th consecutive Baylor Bears win in Stillwater. Baylor Bears remain undefeated at 14-0 overall, and are now 7-0 in Big XII Conference play.

I'd rather be "I told you so" guy than "boy we stink and we're not going to win" guy, especially when we're only down by 4.

I usually watch the game without posting on here, but I like to read it as the game winds down, win or lose, mainly to see people overreact.

Per Pat Nunley, BU went on a 17-1 run from the under 12 to the under 8 tv timeouts. And won by 15.

This makes 10 wins in the last 11 meetings for Baylor over Oklahoma State in Big XII MBB. 6 straight victories at Gallagher-Iba Arena for the Baylor Bears too.

And that 1 loss in Waco was a fluke (obviously).

Some frustration at the half but was hoping the team would turn it on and boy did they. The 2nd half sure was fun to watch. What a steamroller.
