Creighton is moving the ball so much better than us right now it's not even funny. What offense are we running? It's like 2 dribbles and a throw.

I don't think defense has been our main problem so far.

We can't play 40 full seconds of defense.

Creighton shooting 57% from the field, 46% from 3

Bears shooting 32% from the field, 18% from 3

Creighton with 15 rebounds, Bears with 8.

We are 7/23 from the field.

Flagler and George are 2/12

This team is so inconsistent it's maddening. We are lucky to still be in this right now with our terrible shooting. Gotta string some points together.

Doubt it.

We're just making a good team look great by consistently leaving players unguarded ... as we did with Virginia, Marquette, Iowa State, etc.

We're actually getting a lot of good 3 point looks (as are they obviously) - it's just other than Cryer the shooting has been awful so far.

This describes our ball movement:

Total assists in the 1st half: Baylor 1, Creighton 7

We are attempting incredibly difficult shots. Contested 3s, fallaway 3s. I don't get it. Drive and kick.

It's a good thing they have 8 turnovers so far.
