Postgame Podcast & Thoughts: TCU 97, Baylor 90

Baylor (11-8; 1-6) drops a must-win game to TCU (13-7; 3-4) 97-90 at Foster Pavilion. Tounde Yessoufou (21), Isaac Williams (21) and Cam Carr (20) led the Bears in scoring in the loss. Next up for Baylor is a road trip to Cincinnati and West Virginia next week.

Good

• The crowd was great, given the weather.  
• The team never gave up, despite being down by double digits for most of the second half.  
• Isaac Williams IV and Caden Powell played with a lot of heart and effort all game.  
• I do appreciate what Cam Carr has brought to the table all year. A lot of the burden is on him to initiate the offense.  
• I love Tounde Yessoufou’s work on the offensive glass (and Skillings as well).  
• There was a 37-24 edge on the glass.  

Bad

• James Nnaji is so bad that he can’t even get in the game?
• Michael Rataj, the highest-paid NIL player in Baylor basketball history, continues to trend worse.  
• The 17 turnovers were a killer.

Ugly

• 120 minutes were enough for that game. 156 minutes is borderline cruel.  
• 79 free throw attempts. Who doesn’t love a good free-throw shooting exhibition?  
• This team, it is not fun to watch. A good defensive team ties them up in knots.
