About as big as the basket interference no-call that all 3 refs saw and still counted the bucket for Texas.IndyYes said:
How big were those 2 missed FTs by UT after Maston's inexcusable technical?
It's amazing how much help the officials regularly feel they have to give Baylor's opponents, isn't it?Big12Bear said:About as big as the basket interference no-call that all 3 refs saw and still counted the bucket for Texas.IndyYes said:

John Higgins was a part of that officiating crew. Probably just a coincidence........(yeah, right)..............bearlyafarmer said:It's amazing how much help the officials regularly feel they have to give Baylor's opponents, isn't it?Big12Bear said:About as big as the basket interference no-call that all 3 refs saw and still counted the bucket for Texas.IndyYes said:

Maston is so fun to watch when he's in the mood. He could go for 22-26 tonight.

What if you, and a couple thousand other Baylor fans who don't usually get to many hoops games decide to do the same?JusHappy2BeHere said:

K. That post was made after the dumb foul and horrific shot at the end of OT #1. There is no argument that we played those possessions stupidly.BaylorBearsFight said:rudylaw said:

It's like you are watching a completely different game. You complain about the rebounding - we OWNED them on the glass. Our guys ran our offense to near perfection, and you say we are stupid. Rough night for you, my fellow Bear.

Rudy is one of the few good posters we have on this basketball board. You're barking up the wrong tree.BaylorBearsFight said:rudylaw said:

Appreciate it, friend. I'm all for vibrant discussion but this kind of Monday morning quarterbacking I can't stand. All the more reason to lock game threads the minute it goes final and open up a post game thread so context can be had more easily. No mention of the other posts at the exact same time by others claiming how dumb that foul was either.BaylorOkie said:Rudy is one of the few good posters we have on this basketball board.

All of this. It was an extremely sloppy game by both sides but BU's best two players played better than UTs best two.vanillabryce said:
We ran our offense to near perfection? We turned it over 14 times and in a few critical spots. Manu and Maston hit some tough, clutch shots to bail us out several times.
I saw that post and started to respond but I am trying to be nice. It would be too easy to ask how we are running our offense to near perfection and equate that to turnovers, shot clock violations, and shots jacked up at the last second of the possession. The bottom line is that comments made in a gamethread need to stay in the gamethread for context and the emotions of the moment.BaylorOkie said:Rudy is one of the few good posters we have on this basketball board.

You know, it is pretty obvious that our difficulties in shooting by guards had Drew push these guys to put it on the floor and go inside. Dump off or let Vital or Jo rebound for a putback. Drew has done a good job of making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. What we hope is that we can have more games where Omot, Maston, or maybe King are hot and Drew will ride the hot hand. We have two wins out of that in the last two weeks.rudylaw said:All of this. It was an extremely sloppy game by both sides but BU's best two players played better than UTs best two.vanillabryce said:
