Tight calls on our end so far. Ark can hit shots. They are playing really well. We need to hold and make a small run to close the half without DM.

12 assists and just 2 turnovers in 17 minutes is quite impressive for the Baylor Bears.

The refs have neutralized any way to play defense in less than a half here... they obviously don't anyone to play defense at all.

We really miss Mitchell

We are not use to playing without him because he usually stays out of foul trouble

Mayer mugged - no call. Have to be consistent as a crew, they're not.
CaliByWayOfKS
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Mayer gets ****ing hacked and zero call from the refs... what the hell do we have to do to the refs to get them to call this down the middle here?
Yeek
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Mayer gets no respect

If you had told me before the game we would take an 8 point lead to the locker room at half I would have been ecstatic....but the way that last 8 minutes went didn't feel great
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Happy to be up 8, but a massively blown opportunity to step on their throats when we got up 15. In the last 7 minutes Arkansas got any shot they wanted. Not one bad shot that entire stretch. If that doesn't change they may find a way to pull this out

Bottom line is Baylor doesn't get Jack. Never has. Women's, men's, it doesn't matter
