We can't be that sloppy against really good teams, but our defense will allow us to beat anyone.

I don't understand what's going on tonight with the decisions on offense by Butler, Mitchell and Teague.

If OU starts hitting their open 3's like Manek just hit we will be in trouble

We're getting into passing lanes and disrupting their ball handlers which causes the next closest defender to pursuer for the steal. That leads to spacing mismatches if we don't come up with the ball. OU has gotten a lot of their open looks because of this.

Again... Manek has zero chance against Mayer. We have to seek out that matchup.

I'm feeling our offense is better going through Mayer tonight not the guards

The fascinating thing with this team is that it has the firepower to look shi*ty for a period of time, then go on an amazing run that puts them up by double digits at the drop of a hat.

12 minutes of basketball complete in the 2nd Half, and still a 17-point lead for Baylor. Teague, Mayer, and Flagler in double figure scoring for the Bears.

Yep - just when you think we're about to get into trouble the switch gets flipped and we've got a commanding lead seemingly before you can turn around.
