These refs can't figure out what's a foul and what's not

At one point we had 8 assists and 4 TOs. We now have 10 assists and 11 TOs.

Just getting home sounds like we played a great first half. Appears we're getting ran this half. Somewhat expected. You can't turn the ball over like it's a job and beat tech.

Does any post player in the country get stripped of the ball around the rim more than Flo?

Please. Akinjo is on scholarship for the combination of bb skills and bb iq.

Cmon Mayer, show some senior leadership and put the team on your back. Earn legendary status before it's too late.


He got benched when he was aggressive in the first half. So step up, or toe the company line? What's your call?

They are hitting circus shots and we can't throw it into the ocean in the second half

Tell me again Brown is a lottery pick. He would sit at the end of the bench of the worst NBA team, or play in the G-League.

Baylor got its butt kicked tonight and showed zero toughness in the second half.

Not good.

This is frustrating as hell

Cryer hit a 3 pointer at the 13 minute mark in the 1st half and another at the 11 minute mark. Hasn't hit a shot since.

Those of you saying this is still a F4 caliber team put down the pipe. I'll be thrilled if we get to the S16. This defense is absolutely pitiful
GruntTuff

Time for Mayer to move on. Good luck to him in the future.

Somebody other than Akinjo needs to show some toughness.

The kid definitely needs another year of development. Nothing about his play this year says lottery pick.

Do you think Tech is Final Four caliber?

Meyer was fouled on the 3 he made fwiw
GruntTuff

Again. Just look. No defense by Brown.

We got punked.

Somebody needs to give a hard foul. Get tossed. Show some, can I say the word on this site?

GruntTuff
How long do you want to ignore this user?
No. And neither are we.

Tech is well coached

Handled us switching defenses

Someone on television called Brown an elite defender. I just don't see that at all

I don't think we are without JTT. I do think Tech is Final Four caliber when healthy.
