I absolutely HATE it when we try to stall and kill clock, we NEVER benefit from that

All 5 Baylor starters are in double figures.

We benefit by the clock running off time.

Finally got a comfortable win (although BYU wasn't that bad), and I think we're the one team who hasn't gotten blown out in their conference losses. I know that's a silly stat, but every other team has had a double digit loss in conference. Our losses have all been in the final seconds or in OT.

It was nice to get to rest LL in a comfortable win too. Hope he's close to ready to help us finish strong.

I really hope he's ready for Saturday. WV sucks but they're considerably better at home. Having him would be a big boost against them.

That 1-3-1 zone is really giving some good offenses fits. So far, no opponent has found an answer.

The could make a big difference with the committee. Must finish strong. However, the gauntlet doesn't let up. Arguably, the toughest part of our schedule is still ahead of us except we've already played Texas & Kansas on the road. I'm glad have those behind us.

Agreed. But I've only attended two MBB games so far. I have to say watching WBB win in Austin was a real joy.

This is what we love to hear. The players need to maintain that mentality. Thus win sparks a lot of optimism.

Players were having a great time at the end. Hopefully that game is a big team and confidence builder.
historian

If they can carry that over to Saturday in Morgantown it would be huge. We need to win the next 4 games but two of those will be very tough: road trip to Provo & Houston at home.
IowaBear

We just need to go 2-0 this week. Sweeping next week is very very unlikely. WV is the easiest game left. Have to capitalize and take care of business Saturday evening

Missed this game. Looks like our first complete game all year. Nunn is really turning a corner. Will have to watch the replay.
