We now have 5 TO's on bad alley oop passes.

We had some of those against ISU as well. Definitely something to work on.

Too many missed shots. Fortunately, the Sooners have missed a lot as well.

Almost #6 right there if the ref hadn't blown the whistle. Obviously it's piddly in a double digit game like this, but something that will result in a 10 point turnaround against a really good team.

Crunch time at the Ferrell Center. Time for Baylor to deliver a knockout punch.

Flagler is feeling it with the shot tonight. That's fun to see.

Again, less than 80 but I don't care. It's another solid win.

Sic 'em Bears!!

Solid 15-point win for the #2 ranked Baylor Bears tonight on ESPN2. 10-0 overall record, and 3-0 in Big XII Conference play. Congratulations to Scott Drew on moving ahead of his father, Homer Drew with his 372nd career basketball win.

Every Baylor player who saw action scored at least 2 points. Baylor takes care of business tonight in Waco. Baylor shares the Big XII regular season lead with Texas. #2 Baylor vs TCU in Fort Worth on Saturday.

I think it's great this team can win by 15 and still have some obvious things that need to be cleaned up like turnovers.

It seemed like OU played some solid defense at times forcing turnovers but just missed a good number of open shots. Still OU looked like a solid team that could upset just about anyone on a hot shooting night. MM I thought played a heck of a game coming off the bench. Clean up some turnover issues on to the next one.

Yep. They had a bad shooting night, sometimes by good defense and sometimes they missed open shots. OU an upper tier B12 team for sure.

We have an outstanding team. One of the reasons the team is so good is our defense (and our bench). I disagree that OU had very many "open shots". They has some, but not many.

Any time you get more than 50% of your scoring from your bench.....you will be hard to beat. Last night, 40 of our 76 points came from our bench. That is outstanding.

In his interview this morning, Lon Kruger said they missed at least 15 wide open shots.
