Or attack the rim to open things up for better looks. Their guards are slow. Drive into the paint a create better looks for 3 or get some easy ones at the rim

To me, the biggest issue is settling in half court O. Wanting to keep the pace up, shooting too quickly before D breaks down. Unable to,do,quickly, but feel certain that the later in the shot clock we shoot, the greater the shooting %.

Wright has 2 Nattys and it shows with his best player out. Not a shot at Drew, BTW. Just respect for what appears to be a pretty solid coaching effort so far.

We are so weak at the 5 offensively. It's like we play 4 against 5 every game when we have the ball.

JTT picked today to be terrible also. And Butler is just killing us.

Problem is the only way to fix it is to keep trying 3s.

And God help us if the refs won't call Nova when they ride up the back every time we go for a layup.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

19-5 run since we were ahead 18-11. Shooting 16% from three. Nova shooting 52 percent overall. Glad this half is almost over.

Nova wants it more that's clear as day. Also Drew Co better be hunting the transfer market for a big who can score. Thamba/JTT aren't the solution. They're bad period

Both Baylor teams today:

Too much ISO, not enough movement, bad shooting.

The men need to realize it is a No Blood No Foul game.

Yes - this is where we have missed Tristian Clark so much. Puts too much pressure and importance on the 3-ball

If we shoot 10 more threes and make our average of 40% we'll be 6-22 or 27%

We went up 18-11 with 8:34 to play in the half. From that point forward we were outscored 19-5.

"So should I forfeit the rest of the game so y'all can go home?", should be the question in the locker room
