Loves leg injury looked bad. Twisted on impact.

Was Love's ACL his left or his right. Looks like he hurt his left ankle or knee here

Jesus we just simply cannot close games.. why are we settling for 3s??!! Drive the damm ball and get a foul call
Quinton

Can't close. Hopefully Love is okay. Looks like a nasty sprain. At Ku hopes are slim to none without him

Right leg always wrapped.

Chances of beating them with him are less than 5% we simply don't play well there. If he's not 100% you can't risk it

The amount of empty seats is ridiculous

It's called pricing out fans

Bad foul by Nunn. You can't give up an and-one there. Either let him go or foul him hard enough to stop the shot.

Where was the foul??

Slow slow slow defenders. Can't stay in front of anyone

Gotta be tough here Bears. Make sure you drive, get more points and play smart

When we're on offense, we fight and fight and fight to get penetration against everyone in the Big 12.

When we're on defense, every opposing team in the Big 12 other than Ok St just blows right past us.

The announcer is exactly right. They've stopped playing. They get comfortable and play down to everyone. Intensity problem. Coaching is responsible for sustained focus and effort. Still isn't fixed

Waddaya know, a good call from the officials!

That's refreshing!

Nunn made up for the last foul. Great defense.

Toussaint with all the finesse of a rhino in heat. He gone.

This was a 15 point game 2 minutes ago. This is absurd. We simply just quit playing

Technical foul time CSD. Fire em up.

Cute little effort tonight by Tech.

Gamblers on the edge of their seats for these FTs and last second 3 pointer by Tech.

Line was -5.5 Baylor I think?

Tech got a couple lucky shots, Bears took a couple 3 point attempts they should have avoided, and made a bad pass.

I wouldn't say they quit, but the IQ level dropped.

BEARS WIN!

ON TO LAWRENCE!

GET WELL QUICKLY, LANGSTON!

Good win.

That's three in a row for the good guys.

Yep. Moved to -6 late.

You got to think love is out at least a couple weeks. He couldn't even put weight on it. We're in trouble without him and that's an understatement.

The seats are already sold.
DanaDane

Looked nasty. Sure hope he's not out long.
