Drew and the coaching staff took young Wade to school with 2nd half adjustments. Baylor +16 in the 2nd half.

Manu w/ one of his worst games but still finishes w/ 16pts and clinches the game w/ his AND 1 and FTs. Great competitor. Big 2nd half for our Bears outscoring VCU by 16pts.

Survive & Advance. I want Izzo.

I saw one at Dick's in Frisco, they have a basketball section upstairs. I'm sure online has some.

Poor decision to keep fouling him. He was awful today but shot great from the line.

Great job of Motley selling how Drew gives our bigs Freedom and makes adjustments. I hope the nation's recruits are watching.

Dakish loves him some ish. Probably because he is more familiar with him but he had really high praise for him.

Great point. He was huge from the line in the 2nd half and that helped bring us back.

I continue to be impressed by this team. Motley has taken his aggressiveness and physicality to another level this year. Ish does all the small things that don't show up on the stat line. He has been fantastic in every game I've seen so far. Good win against a good team. Love that this team closes out at the end of games. It says a lot that when the game is on the line, instead of letting the other guys bring it back, we extend the lead.

Can someone link our games vs. Oregon, FGCU and the one today please?

Motley is just an absolute beast. If he plays like this all year he's 100% heading to the NBA as he should.

This team is tough - like all Drew teams. I love it.

Waiting on McClure to have a positive impact like I expect him to. will be a huge addition if he can find his confidence and three point shot.

We're doing a good job getting to the line this season.

Part of that seems by design. Part is that we appear to have no outside shooter at all. I love that we are pounding down low...have to find someone to shoot the ball at some point.

1st half was my fault guys........went with the green arm sleeves.

Switched to the white sleeves at halftime (have worn them every other game), and we see what happened.

Green sleeves are shelved

Sic'em!

I think Freeman, McClure and Lecomte are good outside shooters.
