It's Gameday! Contain Manek and Reaves. Limit the TO's/Sloppy play. Get a W and head to TCU at 3-0 in the league!

Really looking forward to seeing how we can lock up Gibson, Reaves, and Manek.

Bounce back game for Butler, from a ball handling perspective.

After the political events in Washington D.C., especially both inside and outside of the U.S. Capitol Building, I'm ready to focus on this Baylor-Oklahoma MBB game. Ready to watch the action in just over 90 minutes on ESPN.

Hopefully not as close as last year's game at the FC. I remember OU fought back and Manek had a wide open 3 that would have won the game for them. Fortunately he missed the shot, he didn't miss much of anything else that day, and Baylor held on for the W.

Davion Mitchell is probably my favorite Bear, but can someone explain why he's had trouble keeping his feet while dribbling in every game we've played this year. I don't remember him having that challenge last year. Is he just moving to fast for his balance? Bad shoes?

Manek 0-3 on open 3's, good sign for BU except for the open part.

I don't want to say Flagler has been exposed, but he has certainly been far less effective since he came back from COVID.

It seems like teams are picking on him a bit. I dunno if it's lingering effects from the virus, but I hope he shakes it off soon.
