That was a bad one. His first turnover was on Walter. But you can't do what Dennis just did there.

Any team that can pass in the post is going to get one layup after another on our zone.

Would love to see Nelson pick up a 2nd foul. Hopefully RayJ can draw it as he drives to the basket.

It's MADDENING. Game after game after game after game.

This team is painful to watch on the defensive end -- man or zone. It's just a bad defensive team.

Houston #1 how about that. We make the foul shot and they fall out of the top 5. We miss and they go to #1.

Missi with a lot more knee bend on both of those FTs than Sat.

They wouldn't have fallen out of the top five with a one-point road loss to No. 11. They probably wouldn't have moved at all.

Gotta make clutch free throws. Jakobe missed one late too on the 3 point foul

As said early in the season it will make the difference in us being elite and being pretty damned good

We just can't separate..we have a chance go up 7 or 8 then it's back to 2

That was a force by Walter there. We don't need that.

To be fair he'd probably played 40 or so minutes

It's hard to separate when you can't defend.

Lohner's a bad basketball player, but he's an excellent rebounder.

Absolutely missed foul call on Walter drive.

Having a pregame margarita on this 88 degree day before I head to Schollmaier.



Bottom line: TCU just cares more about beating Baylor. Our fire is more focused on the Whorns.

Our body contact is a foul(s) but their body fouls aren't?

Rebounding is part of basketball. He needs to better understand his role.

Bears shooting 44% from the field, 50% from 3 and 100% from the FT line

Frogs shooting 44% from the field, 0-4 from 3, and 75% from FT line

Would someone tell Jay Williams to just STFU for 5 seconds and let the action speak for itself.

Walters shot actually hit rim I think. But Lohner threw it back court anyway.

How can we run our offense if we're not allowed to screen? Pathetic call

Drew seems to be explaining that now.

Flagrant 1...***

Now I know. Their body fouls are great defense. Glad the announcer clued me in.

Here comes the bonus + for TCU around the 4:30 mark?
