8 point lead at half on the road at top15 team. Beautiful place to be. Not even playing that well.

D playing lights out. Maybe the O comes to life in the second half and we run them. Surely Butler's hand gets a little hot, or at least warm, in the 2nd half.

He would greatly benefit having a big who can create his own. I sure wish we had Dain available. Flo isn't cutting it, love him but he's not a starter

I'm hoping in the second half our defense wears down tech

We need some good runs in the second

Character time for Butler. He must forget the first half (0-6, 0-4) and show leadership in the second.

He will.

My guess12 points.

Mitchell is 4-4, 2-2. Maybe he'll light it up in the second.

I noticed the Aggies lost their game. Some of you will celebrate.

We need a repeat of what we did in Ft Worth: come out for bear, lockdown Tech's offense, force them to foul, & keep scoring.

It would be Noce to not see tech shoot 15 free throws in the 2nd half.

It's like the big 12 finally realized Baylor is the flagship program and we're being officiated as such.

Let's put 2 halves together.

More dumb errors

They are missing some easy shots. And it's amazing that Butler has not scored yet.

Clung was an unexpected gift for Beard. Georgetown was shocked he left.

He's their best player and, right now, he's the best player on the floor.

McClung goes right almost every time. Force him left.

Can we post him up? Butler could eat his lunch on the block.

Maybe this will be good for us in the long run: some adversity will prepare us for tougher games later.

Vital is so limited offensively that I don't know if we can afford to play him against a team like Tech. They're great enough on defense that you can't really afford to play a guy who adds nothing on one end of the floor.

When half of you four guard line up goes off radar, and you don't have a big to constantly score in the paint, you are in trouble.
