Guess it took a few games to wake up the D in the first half. Keep it up, guys!

If you weren't watching and I told you Akinjo had 2 points with 7 minutes left in the 1st half - would you guess we were up by 12?

Lol - anyone can score!

Hopefully Akinjo will not dribble around by himself the whole game.

We've had some incredible offensive series with electric passing. And we've had some puzzling possessions where we dribble the air out of the ball and then barely get a shot off.

Either way, we're up by 11 and that's what counts.

We have these stretches where we combine poor shot selection with non-existent defense.
DanaDane

We love to be a real Bear when we get a big lead. We basically get bored and just playfully paw at the prey and let it regain strength instead of just crushing the damn thing.

Last 4:30+ have been atrocious... Turnovers and easy missed shots lead to a 10-0 run for tech.

Ugh. We let them back in the game. Come on Bears. Finish the half strong.

Our intensity waivers. Need to maintain high level of energy for the full 40 minutes.

As I've said before (others too), we have a huge bullseye on our chests. Every team is going to give 110% against Baylor. Everyone would love to have a win over #1. Baylor can do better.

I'm so glad our Bears tend to play better in the second half.
Wichitabear

Where is Akinjo tonight ? We need to see him scoring
DanaDane

Drew tried a lot of different weird combinations on the floor in the first half when we got leads. Unsure if that was due to Sochan's injury, or if he was just testing various combos for future purpses because he knew he had a big lead.
