I don't recognize this defense

There are a lot of great things to see on that court so far, but nothing makes me breathe much better than seeing Love looking like he doesn't have any issues moving in any direction.

The Bears D has been really strong for a while tonight

Sorry I think I jinxed us ...

KU has always had one of the best cutting offenses in the Big 12. BYU is not far behind.

Two straight possessions to take control completely wasted. Those are key and completely unforced

not a foul

We'll settle into a nail biter soon. Big leads not our bag.

We're Baylor.
DanaDane

I don't understand how that was a foul on Nunn.
Quinton

Little I see you
Mitch Henessey

I would love for us to get a few defensive rebounds here pretty soon.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I like Ja'Kobe but his feet are way too slow on D against these guys. They are eating him alive.
Killing Floor
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Wow
Dirty foul there
Mitch Henessey
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Probably a flagrant 1, unless he got him straight in the head. But I'll have to see a replay.
Stefano DiMera
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Definitely not a basketball play.. anxious to see replay..that looked like ejection material.
Stefano DiMera
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I thought it was neck.

BYu = pure thuggery
ImABearToo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Or ripped out an eyeball.
Quinton
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Surprising and disappointing. His lateral movement looked decent as a prospect. Need him there, especially with Nunn coming around on D.
ImABearToo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Hey Josh O, did you enjoy the view?
Killing Floor
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ya gotta learn to be content with a lead
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yep. I realize his lateral movement is never gonna be what it was, but to see him moving freely tonight and not hobbling is a good sign for both tonight and the upcoming weeks! Ankle issues can be so *****ly.
Quinton
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Self destruction. Completely unforced TOs.
Mitch Henessey
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We're falling in love with the three ball a little too much. And we had a chance to really put them in a hole early, but we couldn't get any rebounds. We're in a dogfight now.

Interesting stat -- at the 15 minute mark:

we had 3 assists and 0 TOs.

12 minutes later we have 3 assists and 4 TOs.

Seems like we should be up by 10+ points. Not a great half
