I can't understand how BU is a 1.5 favorite in this road game

Because expectations for the Pokes are lower than for Baylor. We also have done well against them in recent years, IIRC.

This is about as well as we're capable of playing offensively. We look like a completely different team tonight.

Lead back to 10. This is the best we've looked on offense in a while.

We're seriously unconscious on the offensive end right now. Don't know how long we can make this last, but it's pretty great right now.

Ton more energy! This Baylor team is so much better on both O and D

Peacock network games, not good. Hopefully a change of luck starting tonight.


Is this only on CBS Sports channel?

I thought I could get it through Amazon Prime but that did not work. Might be possible through YouTube or Fubo.

Making shots helps the offensive productivity. Wow OSU is not good tonight

We connected with a few left hooks early and Okie Lite has been staggering ever since.

We struggled to get good looks against TCU, Iowa State and Houston. Just dribbled around and settled for tough jump shots.

Tonight, we're moving the ball much better. Of course, it helps that we're not playing a top-25 defense tonight.

I don't see how 8-10 in league play with only 1-2 good OOC wins gets this team in. Especially when those 8 are likely against non tournament teams


That's why I qualified my statement.

But remember.. any win in conference is a Quad 1 win . There's been a year 7-11 got in when the conference wasn't this loaded.

This is a beatdown. It's nice to be on the good side of one of these after the last three games.

I don't think any 8-10 Big 12 team gets left out of the tournament this year. A 7-11 team might get in, depending on their wins.

Handles ball well. Under control.

Super happy I was wrong with my prediction. After the last beat down, I was worried we'd come out slow and never recover.

Great defense by Yessefou after the botched alley oop.

Really strong half. Need to be good the first five minutes of the second half to break their will.

This is like you shoot 38 on the front 9 and don't want to grab a hotdog and chill at the turn and lose your momentum. Let's keep playing.

Damn.. Iowa State getting curb stomped at half in Lawrence.

Didn't like losing the guy in the corner on OSUs last possession, but otherwise that was as good a half of basketball as you could ask for. Unlikely we're gonna continue to shoot 73% in the second half, but hopefully we can at least avoid cratering and pick up a much-needed W tonight.

We've had very few first halfs like this in recent years in big 12, particularly on the road.

Decided to make the short drive over from Blue Springs. Ole fashioned spanking as my grandpa would call it

Powell had Agbim alone in the corner and passed it to Rataj in the opposite corner instead. Weird decision.

Tonight I will be happy with a1-3 Big XII record

We're getting a little 3 happy now. Need to work the ball inside and try to get some easy buckets.

How can it be a jump ball when their dude is all the way out of bounds?

The next four minutes are going to be very big. We need to find some easy offense or we're in trouble.
