big one at the Ferrell Center. Must win for NCAA tourney hopes to state the obvious. Be a part of the light show. With a holiday, this SHOULD be a rocking environment. Make it happen Baylor fans. We owe it to Drew to fill this arena and be loud in our support. Defend our home court.

I honestly think it's the missing formatting on the "official" game threads that is messing with our karma now. You know, we're baptists, so we're big on karma. We need to break out the asterisks this week - I think they'd bring us two wins...

Make it happen Ashley!

Bears playing good defense and scoring when they move the ball

Its nice how smooth the offense runs when Manu isn't in dribbling around for 20 seconds.

OSU shots starting to fall and we can't make layups!

Our best dribble penetration is coming from our 7 foot center.

Get Manu a screen at half court to get him some space. He's getting pressured and taking too long to get us into a set.

This team is more than capable of playing 10 minute stretches of revolting basketball.

Yikes. There are moments in these games where the bears pretty much look like an NIT team.

14 point swing. Just brutal.

Manu missing more FTs... He's completely lost.

Not Drew's fault that people are shooting at historic low percentages.

We just don't shoot very well. It isn't X's and O's. Can't throw a Rick into the ocean

If you are referring to Rick May, that would require quite a throw.

Not hard to see why these two teams are tied for last place in the XII. Time to win this game and start a run now.
