Our 2 senior guards trying to foul our way to a loss at the end.

Good to get a win.

Glad to finally have a call or no call go our way. Seems like we never have home field advantage from the refs. Sure we wont have that no call on Sat!

Not only did we win, but I survived Marge Gunderson's twin sister rooting for IowaSt right behind me.

Looks like Mason was trying to foul and not give up the three but yes very dangerous on how he did it

I'll be at the Ferrell Center tonight. King McClure is due to score 15-20 points. Most Baylor students are still not back in Waco, so attendance might be around 5,000.
5,930 was the official attendance. Pretty good for a Tuesday night with only a few hundred Baylor students at the basketball game.

And what would the attendance be if they were back in town 5,025?

If you embrace what this team is (young and raw but scrappy) and try not to get worked up about what it's not (particularly good or skilled offensively), this is actually a pretty easy group to root for and enjoy. There's a hard ceiling on how good we can be this year, but these guys are very resilient, and they're going to fight you tooth and nail to the buzzer.

I know it's difficult, but enjoy the growth and try not to get too frustrated by the growing pains. There's a ton of youth on this roster. We're only going to get better the next 2 1/2 years. Considering the roster turnover we've experienced the past two seasons, the fact that we're as competitive as we've been is big a feather in Drew's cap IMO.

Didn't get to see it other than the replays on the last call. Bears need as many breaks as possible to get to 16 wins or 5 conference wins this season.

Call me a homer, but I personally thought Mason went up straight while trying to avoid contact as much as possible with the ISU player jumping into him. True, it was still risky given our history with refs calls and given that we're not Kansas, but I thought it was a good no call. And the other alternative was to just let him shoot uncontested and if Mason had backed off and he had hit the shot, we'd be all over Mason for allowing that.

He came down pretty hard with his right hand hand hacked the dude's wrist. It was a foul IMO. The only question is whether or not it was before the shot. A good argument could be made it was on the floor, making the whole discussion moot anyway.

...just one more unlikely win by our amazing Scott Drew.
