Said it 2 weeks ago... Akinjo's injury is a blessing in disguise. Bonner is valuable now. His baptism by fire has him very much usable. Not MVP ...just usable.

Man if we can get Akinjo back to at least 75-85% by March and Bonner gets to the point like he's showing tonight and can give us 8-12 quality minutes a game, this team will be locked and loaded.

Wow... the Baylor Vision room is so different... used to visit a friend who worked for them and it was just a small 4 person row at the top of Ferrell. Times have changed.

Bottom has fallen out for Bama. They lost to near bottom cellar dweller UGA tonight. Watch them have the game of their life against us Saturday.


They'll get crushed!

If anyone thinks the announcing crew has not been Baylor respectful tonight they are prejudiced or simply not listening

Baylor MBB is stomping K St. , and has 20 assists so far. Good teamwork.

I hope that's not an Achilles injury.


A couple of KSt trainers carried #3 to the locker room through the crowd. Had to go around the court and behind the broadcast table opposite the benches to get there.

Yep, they heaped a lot of praise on BU. I liked them ... as far as ESPN homers go.

Great to get a W at home especially a stress free win. Onto Tuscaloosa for a good ole B12/SEC showdown

Did I see Sochan heading to the locker room before the game was over? If so, what was the reason?

Anyone notice that Jordan Turner didn't come in at the end of the game? I unfortunately didn't pay attention if he was even sitting on the bench. I only bring it up because no said he was out with covid or an injury and when Dain transferred out, all he missed was just one game (I think) before his transfer announcement.

The HOT was before my time. My dad was at Baylor during those years. Why on earth would you have a trailer?
apparently the locker room actually in the arena was so bad...that a portable trailer just off the court, in full view of the stands, was an upgrade.

we've come a long way.


I'd like to see pics of that

I enjoyed the HOT... basically pick your seat

Except when those Phi Slama Jamma bums came in...thing was filled to the brim ..or the Root Hogs.

I noticed he wasn't out there as well. Not sure what's up.

My freshman year HOT roof was damaged in a storm, so a few games played at Marrs-McLean gym on campus. When we played aTm, they tried to pack the gym so few Baylor students could get in.

The water drips on to the free throw shooters face, the Aggie that ran into the power line poll and knocked out the power, the Glidden paint factory explosion that was the color scheme of all the seats, Bear Downs short track races…….. Memorable times

Does a game like this not explain a 7000 seat arena?
I heard postgame that there were 8k in attendance. They did bribe students with free pizza.

It's Lowell Galindo from the LHN.
He may have asked to call this one: so he could see a good team without his Horns getting crushed!

How about the the time with a one point lead with 8 minutes to go Guy Lewis went to the 4 corners and at the end they lost the ball, but we didn't score . HOT Memories.

Not a chance there were 8k…I may be talked into 6k at best!

My mrr Ed miry could be off but I'm pretty certain that's what was said. Might be official numbers based on ticket sales or some such. I thought it a bit exaggerated but there certainly was a decent crowd for a weeknight.
