So bizarre. He can make some plays that make you go WOW, then next play is WHY?

Yeah I follow college hoops real closely and I've never heard of either of these clowns.

This is the kinda half we needed to start against ISU. Lotta good things on both O and D that we needed to do and we're doing a lot of them.

I'm surprised we didn't get Spatola. He seemed to become attached to us. CorsicanaBear must have called the network and aired his grievances with them.

The ref just warned Jonathan if he taps the ball again it's gonna be a T.

A Baylor 15 - 3 run would be fine with me right now.

We just need to take better care of the basketball, but I'm sure they're telling themselves the same thing.

Looks like Pete Souza the KWTX morning guy on PBP. He calls the football games on espn+.

The students should get cupcakes anytime Missi makes both of his free throws. Attaboy, big man.

Free throw shooting much improved (the team)

Otzlenberger has such a punchable face.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was truth to the Tang spying accusations.

Bridges is making his presence felt tonight. Always a good thing for the Bears.

Missi is a difference maker in this zone. This defense was built for him.

Nice recovery there.

Missi has incredibly quick hands for a big. Such an athletic freak. As his basketball IQ continues to grow, he's gonna get even better. Imagine this kid didn't even know what a basketball was 3, 4 years ago.

Langston Love!!!!!

As an aside, I know TJ Ox likes his skintight shirts to show off his guns, but he's starting to get a bit of a paunch.

Don't blow this lead

And just like that he tweaks his knee.

Crap. Missi's hurt.

Yikes! Please don't be hurt

Missi back on bench.

Momcilovic is matchup nightmare in that he's a 6'9" "3" playing against guys who are gonna be 6-2 to 6-5. That was a great pickup for Iowa St.

Ran it back and that ball was clearly out on ISU.

Throwing up very difficult fade aways and making them. Very skilled. Near impossible to defend that
