Brown acting like it's too fast for him.

OK, that's at least three TO's on KB on bad passes.

Brown killing us with those passes.

Pretty clear when Loveday comes in we have to go zone.

18 - 5 FTs. Not going to win many games with that disparity at the line.

These are Higgins type numbers.

Oops. My bad. They're showing Akinjo with 1. I thought he had 2.

Refs keeping Tech in the game.

yep, tech's been reaching in quite a bit more than that, but whatever, refs seem to really be sticking it to our guys.

Flagrant? Absolutely!

Seems legit - or, at least, not surprising for Lubbock.

Wut?

7 point lead at half! Let's go!

Two games in a row against top 5 defenses and the O is looking good.

Outside of 4 live ball turnovers…
DanaDane

It wasn't pretty for all 20 minutes, but that was a helluva effort by the Bears in the first half. Up by 7 in a game where the opponent has 11 more FT attempts.

7 pt lead at the half. I'll take it. Hopefully we can return the favor they did us in Waco.

LOVE how Baylor's playing tonight. A continuation of the great game against UT. Playing hard, good teamwork. Solid 1st half.

Love day time!!!


I'm ok with what I saw. Gave us some minutes. I expect he will come around. Get in shape, young man.

At 2 fouls per every 1 minute, 10 seconds played, he's not gonna be able to give us very many minutes so hopefully he makes them effective!

Dude. Just stop it.
vanillabryce

He didn't do too bad. He got caught on a guard in transition where our guard didn't come up fast enough to guard ball and he picked up a silly foul.

I thought so live, but on the replay it simply seemed the pass happened so fast he couldn't slow his momentum and the foul was unintentional.

Pretty easy if u call the 1st foul which is a push in the back. Then it's a dead ball. Not difficult unless u are weak!

Seth thinks we're cheaters who have no football team speak of, when our B ball team goes small?
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
