I think we've seen the identity this team's going to have the rest of the way these past three games. We're going to muck games up defensively and try to win low-scoring affairs.

If we could just make free throws, we'd be 3-0 with that strategy. We had no business losing the SFA game, but it was nice to see the guys bounce back tonight and finish this time.

Held pac 12 under 50 twice but lose to swac and southland


Which means we'll beat Kansas and lose to Okie Lite.

Gotta say, I like Kegler's defense and rebounding. Everything else, though...yikes.
This is one of the main reasons I think we'll win 2-3 more games than others around here think. He has to find some offense, just has to. The effort is there on defense and the boards.

I can see this as a team that starts to come together around late January. Not enough to dance, but win a few games that right now seem really tough.

Too bad we aren't in the PAC 12 this year.

Subtle signs of improvement, but uncertain how these Baylor Bears perform in 2019 Big XII Conference play. At this point, Baylor is good enough to defeat Oklahoma State and Texas, but the others on the schedule are likely going to be favored, both home and away.
