I think the boys are finally following Mulkey and finding more value in Assists than Points. Is it just me, or are their Assist numbers a LOT higher this year?

Going back to the win at Arizona....Baylor has now won 4 of 5 road games against P5 opponents. The only loss being the close game at TCU.

Nice

Really, this was impressive tonight. Dang. This run is special right now. I don't want to eat crow yet so as not to jinx them. (But I am)

Thanks. Just looked up and noticed Lon obviously mouthing 3 point something. Guess he doesn't remember having his Sooners still raining 3's on people during Hields final year even when up double digits in the final minutes.

Right. And you know Lon isn't going get all pissy about a kid that hasn't played a minute in conference taking a 3 with 20 seconds left.

And Tom Brady, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, the fact OU hasn't put up BM statue yet...if I'd heard just the audio, I'd have no idea it was a basketball game. A game where was OU getting their a$$e$ kicked at home, no less.

He looks like a mix of Larry Bird and Uncle Rico.
