Nice finish by Nunn. Make the free throw.

We're starting to figure some things out on offense. Make some stops and we might make a run.

Like Trevino said "3 things that don't last long , dogs chasing cars and pros putting for par ,, add bears always down by 12 at half…

Given we're sitting with 7 fouls at the 13:58 mark, I wouldn't be surprised if TT is in bonus+ by the 10 minute mark.

They've got five. There will be a lot of free throws both ways.

Hell of a finish by Nunn.

Foul trouble is killing them. Their two best offensive players have four on the bench.

Missi is special. What a finish.

Down 13, not a problem. Chew some ars at half Scott.
We need to get it to six by the under eight timeout to have a realistic chance on the road.

We've got to get in a position to where "chipping away" in the latter stages actually gets you back in the game. We're not there right now.
We've got it to five (maybe four) at the under 12. Even better.

This is a game now.

I'd expect officials to get very involved here soon.

Missi almost 80% since he bricked v Houston to maybe win it

Big shot there by the fish. Needed that.

Walter actually hits an open 3!

Regardless, we're definitely doing better than KU in the second half.

This is an elite second-half team. Scott Drew's halftime adjustments are second to none.

It's just disheartening that we spend the entire first half looking like we don't know what we're doing. In the amount of time it took to post this we're back down by 6 after a tie
