Lol. We had the possession arrow

Deer in headlights. I said I'd be shocked if we won 2 games. So far, not expecting to be shocked

Two seniors in Game 34, and we're still making the same mistakes we made in Game 1.

Mark it down -- Creighton will lose their next game while shooting about 40%
Princeton won't give up the **** we are. They'll actually guard their shooters.

Need a defensive specialist assistant brought in and possible revamp in conditioning. Need to reset. Keep the spreadsheet and analytics but add some fire and focus. One of the worst defenses we've seen in a long time

With George and Thamba on the court now, it's over.

Honestly, I won't be heartbroken when this one is over.

This has been my least favorite Baylor team to watch in a long time. There will be some level of relief in not having to watch this anymore.

Defense has been the Achilles heel all season. We just don't move our feet, close the lanes, or guard the 3. Good passing and shooting teams expose us. See Marquette and Creighton.

I don't understand the sabotage of giving Flo these minutes

if thamba wastes anymore seconds not giving the ball to the inbounder after creighton scores im going to lose it. every. second. matters.

Getting our asses locked, I think sone of the realistic fans looked at this matchup as one Creighton could easily exploit. Was hoping to be proven otherwise but this year as a whole is going to end in disappointment. Drew needs to get tougher via the portal these guys are charmin soft

I know Tang worked with the Bigs, but who developed the defensive plan?

And last seasons football team. Both cause much anxiety for fans.

Oh sure: the ref had x-ray vision and could see a foul through Nembhard's body.

He has been all year! Dudes a grade a loafer. Won't miss him a bit! He's been Mia like a month straight. Need to get back to recruiting chip on the shoulder guys. 5 stars are shiny. They don't win national titles

Va, Marquette, 2nd half Ku all over again. Bring in a serious defensive coach. We also can't miss on the roster like we have. Recruiting misses have caught up to them. Plugging a broken ship whole year
