Like seeing Lindsey shoot there. He is often left open. Needs to shoot more.

nice turnaround baby hook over Motley. 34-17 BU

Manu called for the charge after letting the pass go to King (who hit the shot, sigh)

34-17 Baylor @ the half, hard to complain about anything

I couldn't make it tonight which kills me. But yeah we better have a great crowd for Xavier. If we hold on to win this one and beat Xavier, we should have a good shot at being undefeated heading into conference play.

Sam gets a bucket on the inbounds on a nice move. Al turns it over 40 feet away from the basket

Sam misses a floater, Motley rebound, then Al goes coast-to-coast and scoops it in, 38-19 BU

Ish passes up an open 3 to take a tough 2, yikes

Jo with the block!

Ish with a nice, quick feed down to Motley underneath, and they hang on him, he will shoot

good defense
offense could be better

but Sam Houston makes the game ugly- VCU, Louisville type team that pressures the ball
Hambone

lob to Motley, he is fouled. hits both FTs

then Manu gets a loose ball steal and we find Motlley down low, who is fouled again.

44-19 @ 15:55 media timeout, oh my

Manu hustling like that in a game that's basically already well in hand is a really good sign as to what to expect from this team down the stretch. Liked seeing that a lot.

kind of an ugly game, except for the 3 ball. we are hitting and they aren't. BU 8-18, Sam 2-15

they've taken 11 more shots than us and are losing by 25, lol
