100? Shoot I'll be happy with 65 at this point. Just putrid

Still sloppy. Hope the Bears clean things up before halftime.

This is starting to remind me of our quarterfinal game with KSU in the Big 12 tourney.

Good lord we can't hold on to the basketball.

Sometimes baskets don't fall. But Mayer and Butler playing lazy basketball is pathetic. I thought the loss might light a fire, but this sucks.

28% shooting, 6 turnovers. That ain't good. Drew needs to rip these guys a new one. They are sleepwalking

Mayer out here inbounding to Hartford. Really pathetic effort by the entire team. Expected us to come out motivated and pissed.

Bring back the Bears we know.....please!

They need to put out a new warning for COVID:


Can make a basketball team go from looking and playing like the Harlem Globetrotters to looking and playing like the Washington Generals in 3 weeks.

Where's Mayer's BFF? You gonna light a fire under him to throw a strong pass from inbounds so it won't be another TO?
DanaDane

Bears shooting 27% from the field and 25% from 3 so far.

First person to PM with their e-mail can have my 2 tickets I couldn't sell. No one wants to see a 16 seed vs a 1 seed I guess.

Flagler!

That's better!!!

Ok. Thank god. Good Mayer has finally arrived.

We need a normal Flagler so bad for this tourney

This is more like it!
Branch155
How long do you want to ignore this user?
That's much more like it. Defensive intensity leads to a runout dunk. Keep it up!

Let's keep feeding the guy that's hot, like we have done all season!

Keep that pedal to the metal

This may be the best thing that happened to Baylor: a 16 seed playing tough and waking them up. The games will only get tougher as we advance.

Hartford reminds me a bit of one of those 45-1 horses in the Kentucky Derby that spends all its energy taking a 2 length lead at the 6 furlong pole, but by the time they turn for the homestretch looks like they are running in sand.
Johnny Bear

Okay, maybe we're rolling now.

22-17 Baylor

Hartford forced to take a timeout, that's a good sign.

They just said on the radio that Oral Roberts (coached by former Baylor assistant Paul Mills) is leading Ohio State by 3 at the half.

That should be Baylor's ball!!
