Step back from the ledge, bud.

Rebounding is killing us.

Dear Santa:

Next year could you send us one strong, bruising, power forward who loves to rebound from the transfer portal, please?

Not another Bridges. Or Ja'Kobe.

Our avenue to coming back in this one is the charity stripe. Gotta get rebounds first, though.

I kind of regret allowing the byu cult into the big 12.

Knell should never get to the bucket that easily. He even did some trash talking back down the court signaling Walter is too small to guard him

Our driving to the rim has put a few Mormons in foul trouble.

Defense completely fell apart when Nunn went out in foul trouble.

And the refs said no, because we're Baylor.

JaKobe is playing defense with his body and not moving his feet.

Because of rebounding and TOs, they've had 11 more looks at the basket than us. Usually that puts you behind more than just 5 points.

Missi has to get more than 2 shots a half. That's a sign the ball movement is not good.

BYU is very good passing team. We need to cherish every possession.

Khalifa with his hand on Missi's chest through the shot making him fall down… No foul

should've been foul number 2 on Khalifa. BYU was the better team for 15 min that half and we're only down 5. Getting Nunn back on the floor should help the D in the second half. Need to figure out how to defend the pick and pop

You seem like an overly dramatic fella.

That's the weakest analysis ever. The one thing we don't do is give up.

I have to admit this is a pretty darn good college basketball environment. Glad we added these guys to the conference.

UConn getting spanked right now. I know Creighton is a good team and I figured it would be close… did not expect a blowout.

Ojianwuna has understood the assignment on defense much better than Missi tonight. Problem is, he doesn't add nearly as much at the offensive end.

We either need to coach up Yves at halftime, or roll with Josh for most of the second half, here.
