Point Sochan! What in incredibly skilled and versatile player he is. I hope everyone appreciates his talent for the one year we'll have him in the green and gold.

They followed that up with a great bounce pass cut to Brown to take the lead though.

Self with at T on the plus side immediately after.

Agree with Bilas. Mayer is doing a HECK of a job right now defensively on Agbaji, making him alter his shot.

Wait... so Brown is in front of Braun and he's called for a foul that Braun committed in shoving him... gotta love that bull*****

Ok, there's our knucklehead TO with the ball bounced at Flo's feet by Akinjo.

Bad pass from Akinjo and then Flager got schooled on a drive... damn.

My biggest issue with Akinjo and one of his biggest differences from our guys last year is that he doesn't place a great enough value on possessions. He often tries to over-create with stupid decisions.

Have we hit a 3 pointer yet?

Agbaji and Braun with 26 points.

No, 0-8 so far.

Fouls at half: KU 8, Baylor 3

Fouls now: KU 9, Baylor 6

No. 0-8.

Here's the problem: When Akinjo shoots quickly in the shot clock there is nobody hitting the O glass, yet lack of hustle is still allowing KU to get down court before we set our D, therefore leaving them with multiple wide open shooters. THIS IS A MENTAL LAPSE. Back off some of the emotion and play smart.

Keeps throwing it at Flo's knees when he's on the move.

Hasn't worked all season. Won't ever work

Foul. Uncalled
Jack Bauer

DanaDane

OK, this is a good sign. Flagler is feeling it now. He'll bust open a 3 here in a second.

Agbaji with 10 this half in less than 4 min... damn.

Obvious travel by KU and the refs just let it go and McCormack gets an easy bucket.

Sochan with our first made 3 of the game... huge.
vanillabryce
How long do you want to ignore this user?
McCormack doesn't want any piece of perimeter defense.

Thought that was very clear also. Somehow the announcers thought it was a clear foul.
