I thought tech would really drop off this season…

Why? Adams was more responsible for putting Tech defensive gameplans together than Beard.

Tech is really good. Just ask Kansas, which got spanked by Tech.

Baylor is the only team in the nation that doesn't get home court advantage
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
YES!!!!!!!

That's what we need right there. Need Mayer to come alive offensively. He's doing a lot of other things right but with Bonner and Flo on the floor, Mayer has gotta bring it offensively.

MATTHEW MAYER!!

They all need to. This team wasn't built around 2 injured players.

Drew will light the 2nd half spark and then watch out!

Baylor can still win this by double digits. They can also throw it away. I think they will find a way to pull it off.

I get that everyone's bummed we ain't blowing these guys out by 20, but Tech is a really, really good defensive team. #5 in the country good from a defensive perspective. Much better defensively than anyone else in the Big 12 other than us.

Wish we had a better crowd awareness tonight!

Tech should be ranked in the top 15

Too many dumb penalties. At times, too much dribbling. I think that led to some of the turnovers.

Tech is playing very opportunistic. I want to see our guys do that.

Missed free throw then 2 missed shots in a row. Matthew trying too hard and forcing it.

They aren't a keep you from scoring for over 10 min good defense. Our turnovers and etc have been way less about their defense vs idiotic passing by the guards.

Most of our missed shots are also wide open ones too.

They are a damn good defensive team, but we are giving them way more than they are taking from BU.
Wichitabear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We gotta get going. Score too close for comfort.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Stating the obvious, but we needed Sochan's inside presence and offensive rebounding ability tonight.
BUGWBBear

Passing like that loses games

Another dumbass pass from a guard... For crying out loud.
Self Made Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We are playing a different offense than when we started the game. We were weaving and passing, now we're just dribbling.
BUGWBBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
And being outright lazy with ball handling
DanaDane

Flag with 4. Bonner, we need you to have the game of your life now.
Wichitabear

Going to the free throw line. Flagler 4 fouls ?
Self Made Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Dribble dribble dribble. No passing, no weaving.
CaliByWayOfKS
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Now a complete phantom call from a ref that couldn't even see it... Add to that JTT didn't do anything
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
No presence under the boards with 3 guards instead of 2 and a Sochan. Yikes.
Wichitabear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
OMG I'm having a nervous breakdown
