Christmas at the Ferrell, as the Baylor Bears will soon battle the Oregon Ducks. Which Baylor basketball team will show up, the one who defeated Arizona, or the one who collapsed in the last 2+ minutes in a loss to SFA? Stay tuned.

King McClure in cap & gown just received his undergraduate degree from Baylor President Dr. Linda A. Livingstone in a brief pregame ceremony before tip-off.

Fran Fraschilla interviewing Jake Lindsey and Fran appears to be an inch or two shorter. I find that surprising.

So far this more of the Zona team and not as much of the SFA team.

Bears up 12-3.

Now back to sloppy on offense, but the defense has kept the intensity.

King makes up for the shot over the backboard by nailing a 3.

We just have too many wasted possesions, which of course isnmt surprising with a team full of newcomers.

Need to gel quickly.

Ashley is as good as I've seen at evaluating players but so far it appears he missed big time on Kegler. Hopefully Mario wakes up one day, realizes he's good and then plays that way.

Enough bricks being thrown up by both teams to build our new arena.

So far this season Kegler looks slow. You can tell from a mile away what he's gonna do when he has the ball and he does it with absolutely no touch at all.

Bears playing much better D tonight.
