Finally home from Hilton. Got to see the Longhorns take an L. Now it's time for the bears to finish this off!

The Bears are going to be dangerous the rest of the season.

That last foul called on Bridges is suspect.

They have been gifted a foul on their last 5 possessions

Man if we only had JTT, we'd be set. Flo and Josh O just good enough but JTT is difference maker.

I thought Higgins was about to ring up Drew.

Harmon… OU, Oregon, Tech and Inthink he can come back to Tech for another year

Josh O.....how long can we keep him? I hope at least two...and maybe three years.

Jerome Tang right now is National COY....Scott Drew will figure things out without the tough loss of his friend and brother Jerome.

I want BU to be #1 in Big 12 men's BB forever, and KSU to be #2.

Hack em Flo. Make the big guy pay for easy lay in.

I second that motion. The players that left KState when Tang arrived would like a do-over on that decision.

Lucky guess! I give credit to Higgins and crew for keeping it close

Don't think we ever trailed in this one. A couple of ties early but bears maintained control. Great response to the 0-3 start. Wins in Lubbock and Morgantown make those back to back losses at home an easier pill to swallow.

Higgins is worth 10 points for the opposition, most stable investment out there.

Whoever said Scott Drew cannot coach (and recruit...ha) has a few lessons to learn.

This year's team was new...and still is now, but is getting it together. Yes, we have Flagler....thank goodness for him...and I hope Adam makes many millions of dollars in either the NBA or Europe before he goes to Baylor Medical School and becomes the world's greatest doctor!

But other than Adam and, bless his heart, Flo, who did we have back?

No one....sure LJ, but a new LJ after his injury. Who else? Yes, how wonderful it would have been to have Everyday Jon....maybe next year??

Everyone else is new....and it takes time.

Drew knows how to coach.

I wish I could be on the phone call tonight between Drew and Tang....can you imagine how good that must feel for those two guys, who went to you know where and back together, to have a night like tonight?

Which other game do you expect us to lose besides at Kansas? Do you not think we can beat them at home?
