When all analysts pick the same time I always get a back feeling.

Come on Bears, play your game and finish.

Fantastic start for the Baylor Bears, leading 13-2! Two made 3-point baskets in the early minutes too. Defense looks sharp. Hopefully, Baylor is setting the tone in the South Regional Final from Indianapolis.

Of course they're calling ticky tack crap this game. Otherwise it'll be a 30 point win

Every foul they have called (all on us) has been complete garbage.

He choked... he tried to shoot, stopped, and then decided to shoot to late... it was so awkward looking.

The first Mitchell one I can see, he was moving enough to usually get called for it.

The second I missed, so hopefully they don't start calling every single touch foul on the planet.

It's so ridiculous how much officiating plays in how a game goes. They control so much

Yes, I noticed that. Not sure why he didn't trust his instincts. That shouldn't happen again.
