No one is going to be upset by him playing well. We've been waiting for it for over a month now.

Credit the guys for showing toughness and keeping this a game

Kansas has been reaching all game, that's why they have so many steals. RayJ gets a clean steal right there, foul

Harris' shot hit the shot clock, no?

BS foul on Dennis. Watching games at the Phog when ur not a KU fan is maddening

looks like it hit that little black support bar… should've been out of bounds

Should have been a dead ball when it hit the backboard support over the top.

Our ball anyway

Harris going down might be the break we need. Elmarko Jackson not ready for primtetime yet, and KU is paper thin behind their starting 5.

When you reach from behind the play, you're going to get called more often than not with or without contact.

This team never steals wins. Just once take one you shouldn't have.

Baylor has outscored Kansas in the second half 29-28!!

Harris always gets flak from the KU fanbase. But I've always thought he's been solid for them. And he's a plus defender which never hurts to have

Finish strong, Bears. This one's there for the taking despite all of our mistakes.

For as solid of a shooter as he is, I am puzzled as to why he flat-out refuses to shoot.
vanillabryce

Yeah he's been DPOY, but contrasted to all their PGs over the years I can see how they may not adore him

Here come the missi fouls to counter the ankle injury

We just can't get out of our own way tonight.

No one can say we didn't have our chances. We just refused to take advantage of them.

21. Effing. Turnovers.

Nope terrible possessions.

Missi has been awesome tonight. He's the one guy we have who showed up and showed out.

This is Dejuan Harris's "Paul Pierce" moment. Lol

No chance Cupcake could have done what Missi just did
