Seems like forever since our last game. Glad the Bears are finally back in action. Thinking something like 94-53

I'll be at this 'Battle of the Bears' today at the Ferrell Center. The #2 ranked Baylor Bears are coming off Christmas break, and will have a chance to knock off any rust, while continuing to improve before returning to Big XII Conference play on Saturday. I hope Adam Flagler is cleared to play this afternoon.

Watching Cryer and Flagler shoot from 3 is fun.

Probably the worst defensive half we've played this season due to the Christmas break rust, and we still lead by 18.

Obviously shooting great, but pretty uncharacteristically sloppy on too many possessions on the defensive end.

Hopefully the 2nd half will be a different story on that end of the floor. Plus, I doubt Central Arky can keep up their 3 point shooting pace.

Yes. They shoot 35-37% from 3 normally, so I don't think they'll stay at 53% for the game like they shot in the first half. To their credit, Central is playing without their best player, by far.

I hope our ball movement is more crisp in the 2nd half too. Not sure if it was boredom or rust, but we almost had as many TO's as assists, and most of those TO's were butt ugly!

Drew's staff consistently designs the best in-bound plays in college basketball.

Much better ball handling in the 2nd half -- only 2 TO's, even with reserves playing a good portion of the time.

Agreed. Looked a lot more like the number 2 team in the country in the second half, playing against a team they should boat race.

I sat with Chris Fuentes and T-Rex during the 1st Half today. Even with low attendance, they always bring the energy.

37-point win followed by a victory bike ride home for me. A terrific Tuesday at the Ferrell Center, as expected for the #2 ranked and still undefeated Baylor Bears.
