Mayer gets too many careless street ball fouls.
historian

Too bad that wasn't on Flagler while shooting the 3.

Bad series followed by a bucket for the big guy
DanaDane

Please get Bonner out of the game.

Terrible pass

Is Bonner good enough for D1 ball?
historian

Good defense in that possession
DanaDane

We had a 14 point lead with 4 chances to take it to 16 or 17.

Instead we're now down to an 8 point game and OU with the ball.
historian

Coach Drew thinks so, or at least that he has potential.
DanaDane

Role player only

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Some possessions are more important than others. Those 2 or 3 were critical if we were going to get some distance.

OK time for a Baylor run now to effectively end this. OU had its run.

With foul trouble, he's the best option we have.
DanaDane

Flagler misses BOTH? You're kidding me.
Johnny Bear

What's going on all the sudden with Flagler from the line???
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Now lead down to 5.
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
More dumb mistakes!!
vanillabryce

Get MM back in the game
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Make it 3. Unbelievable we're in this position.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
OU gets it down to 3. What a colossal collapse when we had a 14 point lead and 4 shots at a chance to extend
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Akinjo is down and gone. CRAP
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I think Akinjo is going to be out for the rest of the game.
vanillabryce

Ouch… great finish. But ouch.
Jacques Strap
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Great move by Akinjo but he is hurt and probably gone for today.
OldDominionBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Well there goes Akinjo's back. Fuuuuuck.
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
With 4 fouls?

We don't want him fouling out early.
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
And of course Akinjo goes down hard on the already injured tail bone.
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Mayer is in.
Jacques Strap
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Thank you zebras. Now make it count.

This team can't help but go long scoreless stretches. No killer instinct yet from this team. Unfortunately that bites you in the ass more then it doesn't
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
What happened? I missed it. Where did the T come from?
historian
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Groves got a bad hit inadvertently.
