Easy scoring for the Baylor Bears in building an impressive 26-11 lead with 12:15 to play in the 1st Half! Baylor has made 10 of it's first 15 shots for a sizzling 67%!

Great start. Need to be careful to not get the third foul on Mitchell this half, or there goes his needed defense.

Hope the low 3 pt % against Villanova means we shoot above 45% against Arkansas
I have a feeling the 3pt flood gates are gonna open up for BU tonight.

We shot 16% from 3 on Saturday. So regression to our mean of 42% means we will shoot at least 68% tonight. Come on math....don't let me down!)


I undersold us....we are shooting 75% from three

This version of Flagler is the version BU needs to win tonight and advance to the Natty! Fantastic first 8 minutes! Step on their throat boys (pun intended) of course

That Ark guy was not set at all and slide in to take that and flopped... terrible bull**** call. Mitchell knew he shouldn't have done it, but you can see it on reply and it it was a bad call.

Love Teague getting shoved down and no call, but they'll call that moving block a charge on Mitchell... come on.

Getting a little lax on D when DM went out. Still fine. They cannot stay in front of us

Our guys don't want to get called for more fouls inside
