This team is really tough to watch. Poor shooters and too many turnovers.

I'm impressed with Clark so far this season. He's more aggressive with the ball and he's playing a lot tougher. He should be a beast by the time he's a senior if he continues to develop.

Clark looks great tonight.

If we could just get 1 more inside threat to take some of the lag off Clark, I can't even begin to fathom how good he could be.

What is most Vital ever scored in a game ?

Oregon has cut the deficit to 39-34 midway through the 2nd half. Baylor needs to respond with some big baskets to maintain the lead.

A big 3-point basket for Makai Mason! Baylor 45, Oregon 35 with 7:41 left. Tristen Clark with 13 points, Mark Vital has 11 points.

You think they're getting it and then a step or two back and then they hit on all cylinders.

Going to be an interesting run in conference.

Dear Santa:

Please bring Makai Mason a fresh new ankle. We need him to play 40 minutes a game.

I sure hope he didn't break his hip. That was nasty.

No bueno for Vital
rudylaw

Could be a hip pointer and that could be a 2-3 week injury if bad enough.

Ugh Clark. Goes from a possible and 1 to 0-2 from the line.

Clueless on OOB plays which NEVER happens with a Drew team. Small lineup that can't shoot a lick. All great signs.
