Throwing up bricks from the line also.

Other than shooting we are playing pretty good lol

I don't think I've ever seen a boxscore where one team has gotten 20 more shots off than the other and leads only by 1.

Missi didn't get to towel off after being hit

Missi fouled hard. Go to the monitor

This game is really hard to watch!
DanaDane

We are currently shooting:

28.9% from the field
5.9% from 3
50% from the FT

and yet we're in a tie game.

LOVE finally breaks the drought!!!!!!!!

Worst game of RayJ's Baylor career.

SLOPPY and LAZY ball handling by Dennis there. Really poor job.
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
6 points in 8:22 of play in the second half. 3 points from the field.

Dennis is too good to be so cavalier with the ball so often.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
RayJ has looked and played lethargically this entire game. I wonder if he is ill.
FFA0329
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Same thing again. Bad turnover…….
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
RayJ needs to sit. Pathetic.
BearkatBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
went with a 4 guard lineup there but couldn't see if it worked bc RayJ turned the ball over again
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
If we had another PG, he should be playing now. RayJ is all out of sorts and hurting more than helping now. That was an awful TO.

It's pretty obvious that we have only played one true road game all season. I think the crowd is getting to them a bit. Yves only had 2 of 6 free throws in that stretch. There might be other reasons but whatever it is, they have got to figure out how to overcome these things.

We should be down 20 by now. Really ugly performance.

But we're in it. Midget as well win.
BearkatBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
lowkey Langston Love might be our best player
vanillabryce
How long do you want to ignore this user?
He's our best scorer and most skilled 1v1 player.
IowaBear

The dreadful shooting pretty much all 4 conference games to this point is concerning. Some serious bricklaying going on as of late
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Atta boy Missi. 5 point swing.
BearkatBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
get Bridges back on the floor and let Little play for RayJ the next 4 minutes
BearFan33
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Of course they hit their transition 3.

i refuse to believe there isn't a better play-maker / point guard / ball handler / decision-maker on the team than ray j dennis. someone can facilitate better than this...i just don't get it.
BearFan33
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We have missed too many free throws

How the hell are we not up by 10-15 by now?
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
What's so frustrating is this is probably our best defensive and rebounding game to date and of course we can't throw it in the ocean plus missing FTs.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Nunn and Dennis blow. Play Little and Love and see what happens. Those 2 are giving us nothing. (Nunn has given us zilch all year)
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We haven't thrown it in the ocean all of conference play. Nothing new here
vanillabryce

LOVE to see it

Credit to Josh O. He's gotten matched up on Perry three times at least tonight and has done a great job.
