yeah I would like to see Maston back in here. He gave us great minutes on both ends of the floor.

Gotta love the crystal clear 4k picture quality too. Looks like a VHS replay.


Time to buy a flat screen bro.

I think Motley is more concerned w/ what to do for Valentine's Day tomorrow w/ his g/f instead of this 1st half. He should come out strong in the 2nd half.
riflebear

Only 3 TOs so far.

Go in with a lead at Half, I'll consider that a win after being down 14.

stupid Tech fans doing a "no means no" chant when their own team is shooting. High basketball IQ.

Maston w/ a block. Is that his 1st of the year? Maston decides he's going to get Player of the week honors.

Manu misses the runner and we foul Tech.

32-31 Tech

Manu w/ another big 3. Nice extra pass by Ish and Motley pass out of the double team.

Baylor w/ a smart move to go man D and we get the offensive foul.

We kicked that ass the last ten minutes of the half. Lets just run away with it in the Second.

I thought Tech would make us work a bit harder to get back in the game.

We were down 10 when I turned it on.

My +/- is off the charts

Our 4 guards have 0 Turnovers.

That's 1 turnovers in the final 3 halves by our 4 guards. Keep that trend going.

Manu and Maston with 67% of the points.

Need Motley and the rest of the team to step up.

Do any of y'all get ESPNU in HD? I only get it in standard def via Grande. I don't think they even offer an HD option.

If a blueblood was playing ranked in the Top 5 they would spend the first segment going over the 1st half. Baylor plays at #4 in the country, they talk about the other ESPN games this week.

Grande is the only provider I know of in any Texas city (I've lived in 4 in the last 6 years) that doesn't offer ESPNU in HD.
