Yes. That was embarrassing. Hopefully they will use that experience the way the men used the Marquette loss. But our men's team is better than the women's.

Good looking crowd. Not surprised to see Fran calling the game.

Both teams with early fouls. 2 for Baylor.

The thing that is evident during the first 5 minutes of every game so far this season is that this team needs a true PG.

Man, you can see Josh O slowly getting it more and more as each game passes. He's gonna be a good one.

Caleb finally got us a bucket. Hopefully that will spark a big run.

These five bring more intensity. Hey Aranda, it's ok to pull a starter if they aren't clicking. Just sayin!

Is our three point defense ever going to get better?
Fre3dombear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Are we statistically a bad 3 point shooting team?

All we hear allOff season was best shooting in the nation, etc. abundance of riches

I haven't been too impressed with the 3 ball at all this year.

Do the stats support ?
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ok, that's the spark we need. Flagler is heating up!
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
There we go. Bonner puts us in the lead for the first time.

If from a distance and with a squinty eye, Flagler bulked up a bit and looking more like Off Night

Flo with 2. Go sit young man.

Crowd looks and sounds small and sparse.

With that hair it's uncanny.

And then Bonner with another ridiculous turnover. Stop dribbling through three guys. Even Butler or Mitchell would have struggled with that much less such a mediocre ball handler.

Still the same to nullify a nice play. So far Cryer and George haven't followed suit.

DanaDane

We're #76 in 3 point shooting percentage.

Flag, Bonner and Cryer are solid from 3. The others? Not so much.

People who hadn't watched George mistakenly thought he was a pure shooter. But, he's never been a pure shooter. He's a scorer and creator.

That fits basically what I've seen

WSU seems like a much better 3 shooting team but I've seen 12 min of them

Need to get some separation Bears.
