This is Miller's poorest team defensively.
The game starting at 9 local will bring a poor crowd and being unranked annoys the fans.
Arizona will be playing basketball again once Miller gets fired.
I'm told that Arizona should have a slight edge. It's a game to think about the under.
Bears should play over their heads being motivated in a basketball environment. We shall see.

Walton is a space cadet, but yes, at times he can be pretty funny.

Hoping to not watch a second BU basketball team lose to a Pac 12 team in less than half a day.

My Game Thread will have to die, as I just learned about the one Ashley Hodge created.

This Arizona arena is so awesome. Such an intimate atmosphere and already very loud.

2 personal fouls by Mario Kegler in less than 1 minute. smh

Reverse lay-up by Kegler for the 1st Baylor basket tonight.

4 fouls already is ridiculous

5th foul is the Arizona player just flopping.

A lot of them are flopping, the one against Mason was extra dumb.

2 personal fouls for Tristen Clark. 6 team personal fouls in 3+ minutes. Scott Drew wanted his players to be physical, and they are, but not to the liking of the Pac 12 officials.

6th turnover for Baylor. Mason hits a 3-point basket. Game tied at 7-all with 13:47 to play in the 1st half.

We're definitely not polished but I love our energy so far.

These refs are calling some weak fouls. The bears for the most part look ready to play.
Brendan

It all make sense now. I just realized he was reffing.

Why don't we start Mayer over Vital?

Omg - they called a foul on Arizona. It's a miracle!

Not sure which is more tiresome already: Higgins blowing his whistle against us every 30 seconds or Walton rambling on and on and on and on.........

Makai just came out of the tunnel. Getting ready to go back in.

3rd attempt from beyond the arc for Butler is good. Arizona leads, 11-10, with 10:41 to play in the 1st half. Baylor leads in team rebounds, 13-5.

Where are the fouls against them with all those bodies under the glass?

Is it really Higgins!?!? I thought he looked familiar.

Love Walton calling this game.

Lol. Agreed. Sometimes Walton is funny and others he is just plain annoying. The latter tonight.

Ball movement is much better tonight, both with the starters and reserves.
