Wouldn't shock me if he's scaring 30 by halftime.

Gonna be one of them ugly games I fear. Baylor really has to steal a win here to have any chance of making a run.

Just not happening tonight. But, I will watch and then ask myself "Why am I watching this?" lol There's hope?

Yep always believe they could make a run like '14 but that team had an extra shooter in heslip.

Hard to guard when one shoots almost half court 3s with precision.

I hate my hair so I can't say much but I'm sorry Trae, you've got homeless looking hair.

Bears putting up a good fight but sooners offense jus too powerful.

Could go either way in the 2nd half, both teams are shooting well. Baylor can dominate inside.

Gotta give it up to Nuni so far. He's showing out.

Down 6 in a shootout isn't bad, although it should have been only 3 if they had waved off the and1 when Lecomte was set and plowed over long before Zoubek ever thought about being so.

Yeah, Nuni decided he has nothing to lose anymore. Looking confident again. McClure on the other hand, losing confidence and doesn't seem into it tonight...

I was wondering if we had taken a hostage or something

Might end in the 90s for both teams. Bears showed up tonight.

Young almost has as many assists as our entire team. Amazing.

Clark with a 3!!!!!!!!!! One thing about it, these guys didn't pack it in tonight.

It's a strong love affair.

Mark it down now. 2nd round of NCAAs when Young runs into an ACC or B1G team and the officials aren't from the Big 12, he will get called for that left arm push off he does every time he has the ball and he'll foul out.

How soon can Young go pro?

Going blow for blow with Young and OU. Get some stops! Sic 'Em!

That shot was clutch. Been awhile since we've made a clutch shot like that. We'll need a couple more...

Jo bricks a 3. That's what we went with out of a timeout. Awesome.
VaeBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Why was Jo shooting a 3?
