Disu and Rice, who have combined to score almost 70% of UT's points, both with 4 fouls each.
It's been weird not seeing Allen kill us. He usually steals our lunch money. Today it's been Disu doing it.

Amazing what actually playing some solid, intense defense can do.

I'm not suggesting we're a better team without Keyonte because I don't think we are. But our defense gets noticeably better when we don't have George and Cryer on the court together.

Bridges, Bonner, and Love giving great minutes. Carrying the load this game.

And Flo is one point away from a double-double. He's turned the ball over too much, but he's made his contributions too.

He's also played a much better defensive game than in Austin. He and Jon have essentially shut down Allen, who killed us inside in Austin.

He's rebounding well and staying physical in the paint. Flo feeds off the tone others set. If we have Bridges and Bonner giving energy Flo plays better by default.

If we lose it's gonna be because of that lackadaisical pass at 2:46

I saw the end of regulation while waiting for our game. Incredible comeback.

Michigan State went 11 of 15 from 3 and lost.

No chant. Why congratulate them for moving to a much weaker basketball conference?

Heck of a team win today. That was a great effort after a disastrous start.

We're not going to lose very often when we have five guys score in double figures and another with nine.

Suds not buds. Baby steps. It's Baylor. First dancing, 20 years later suds are acceptable. Maybe buds by 2035?
