Just said we are playing with no energy. More like no heart. What's the matter with these boys. They have played like this all year!

A few guys are, but some are acting like they're playing a clown college and we're just gonna coast.

Interesting about the clock. Thanks

They don't want to be in this tournament any more than we want them to be. There have been more than a few 8 over 1 upsets, including UK, in the past. I don't care how awful the NIT is, don't lose to an 8 seed.

When our posts get doubled our guys stand and watch. No relocation, no cuts. Same thing when our guards would get trapped or pick up their dribble against WV.

Manu lights out first half. Could've really used that a few more times this year.

Manu playing like he wants to be there.

A few shots rimmed out and Drew is putting a lot of combinations out there. More Jolly and Clark than in the regular season. I get the feeling they want to get this over with and then they'll get more serious when it's a Power 5 team.

When was the last time we played an opponent that wore hoodies for warmups?

Clark in a walking boot. That looks a little more serious than a sprain...

Hopefully they're just being really cautious.

Only Manu gives a **** and the sole reason for the 11 point lead. I think I'm done for this game too.

only reason not to make the finals of the NIT is due to injuries. Suit up the managers!

Uh oh! Not sure I am liking the direction this game is going. Baylor better up it up some or it could be embarrassing. Not quite the level of Liberty football embarrassing though.

Solid game. I really wish I could help King handle the ball better. Omot was awesome tonight.

The official box score said attendance was 1,988. Was that about right?

Agreed. King is limited by his skill set but it's always looked like he wants to play aggressive. Hope it clicks for him next year.
