This game's been a straight up pathetic **** show since about the 6-minute mark of the first half.

Guards need to get their head out of their ass stop turning over the ****ing ball, and for the love of God start hitting your wide open shots.

Add to the fact that franchilla is being a dumbass when The Texas Tech defender throws his forearm into akinjo's body as he's going up for the layup, but apparently according to him all that matters was the fact that the block section which happened after the firearm shove out, should be a no call... I'm shocked how dumb he sounded there.

Tech shooting 52% from the floor.

Bears shooting 42%.

Time to regroup and go on a Baylor run.

If Flag re-enters, he has to play careful defense but at least he's an offensive threat. I'm not sure Bonner is a threat either way so I'm not sure what we lose if Drew goes to that.

Next 3 minutes no Sochan (ankle) no Flagler (4fouls). Time to dig deep Bears.

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


Yeah that whole sequence was so many really good plays by Mayer combined with just as many bad plays, kinda funny. Great drive, shot and draw the foul. Miss the free throw. Couple rebounds, couple bad shots

Mayer…shoot or drive…don't pass. He's not confident with his shot.

He threw the lob dunk and Thamba went to box out for a rebound. Miscommunication.

Bonner looks so small next to tech's dudes. I get him getting minutes with Flagler in foul trouble, but sure seems like Loveday's size with Sochan out would be helpful against Tt's length

****ing terrible, Meyer fell asleep on defense and collapsed to the same man that Brown was already guarding left one wide open for three.

We go down in Flagler puts up a terrible 3-pointer he didn't come close to making.

Now Brown being brown... Dude...

More sloppiness. Tech is playing better than the Bears but we have the better team.
