Lohner steps on the sideline - TO
Dribbles between his legs OB - TO
Now throws uncatchable pass to Love - TO

Good grief

Yep we might have a double digit lead right now if not for him.

Turnovers generally holding us back. But our bigs' play is just so frustrating.

Lohner 3 TOs
Flo with 1 at least plus the flagrant 1

These REFs are awful. That call was not the Baseline call to make. B12 needs to upgrade their refs..

Need to see this Baylor team learn how to stretch leads early.

Man, Josh O makes me smile. Love watching his energy! Kinda feels like when I first watched JTT.

Our best five is when Bridges and Ojianwuna are on the floor with any combination of three guards. Time to move Thamba to the bench...

Loveday sitting down on the end of the bench thinking - Yikes! I may have to go in tonight.

Winning the boards 15-8. But those 9 TOs…

Impressive offensive performance so far. For one thing Cryer being on the floor makes a big difference.

Perfect half minus Lohner.

Seth is spot on. Josh O is the key.

Flo getting bench time tonight.

Having Cryer on the floor and suddenly having 3 others who are showing they can score: Love, Josh O and Bridges. We don't need double figures from them. We just need them to be somewhat of a scoring threat and suddenly that opens doors for Flagler, George and Cryer (whoever is on the floor).

Lohner has done a good job rebounding.

Refs have made some weird calls
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yup. Good job rebounding and you need a guy who can play physically for 10-15 in a game like this because you know there's gonna be foul trouble.
ImABearToo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Why can we not make something happen when holding ball for last shot of half? Every time it's a bust.

DanaDane

I know we all can sometimes get frustrated with Lohner but everyone should agree with this -- his mistakes come from trying too hard at times, never from not trying or loafing. Gimme a guy like that any day of the week over the latter.

How many years in a row can we f up the end of a half vs tcu
BearBuck
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Or give me a guy that can learn from his mistakes.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes, definitely needs to learn from them. No argument there.
