If Vital ever starts hitting that outside jumper more consistent he will be scary great.

Three times that I've seen - Young switches on to Omot. Omot floats out and stands at the three point line. No one recognizes it. Gotta take his ass on the block and get a foul or an easy bucket.

Not much to complain about that half, but it's just so easy to play that matchup

15-2 disparity on FTs. That's approaching Higgins on Huggins numbers.

Driving and came back to a huge lead. Maybe I should stay away the second half.

Waiting on my son's judo class to let out. Then 20 minutes home. Happy to tune out and take one for the team.

get away from Big XII refs and he is probably right


why do bald guys hate Baylor so much.... dark or light they hate BU.... I would rather have Higs and his highlights than the bald guys

that's what I'm saying.


it's the fat, bald, black guy and the skinny bald white guy who have never seen an opponent fall without it being a Baylor foul

Hate to see us get sloppy and give up easy fast break buckets like that. That's how you get a team hot. We need to not let up.
