The one problem with a high rank is we get him. But it isn't Bill Walton!

Ugly wins still go in the W column! Beating TTU in Lubbock by 8 when our best player played maybe his worst career game is a feather in our cap. Good job Bears!

IMO the only ESPN announcer that's harder to take than Dickie V. is Bill Walton.

Anyway, that was a tough, gritty road win at a place that's tough to get a road win.

Come on guys Bill Walton is the best. Basketball and comedy and its finest. You never know where he will go talking about something. Dan Dakich who does the Big 10 is the worst.

Walton in small doses can be funny. Vitale's passion for the game is endearing. Dakich has great anecdotes and strong opinions.

But any of them for a long time is draining.

McClung is a damn good basketball player. I'll never understand the connection to Lubbock.


You do know Texas tech has the best bag man in the Big 12 and only people with sketchier pasts are at Kansas right?

Check his background and history

My favorite TV announcers are Fran Fruschilla & Chris Spatola. I don't care who they work with, they are usually very good.

I hate to see that percentage from the line.

Tech will make you play sloppy because they have a tough defense. Big road win in the Big 12

I love Walton and Vitale. Of course I like fun things and not treating sports too seriously.

Tough Big XII road win for Scott Drew and the Baylor Bears over Chris Beard and the Texas Tech Red Raiders in Lubbock today. I'm not surprised it was a single digits win. Good games by Davion Mitchell and Adam Flagler. Hard to believe Jared Butler was scoreless going into crunch time, but had those two clutch 3-point baskets when Baylor needed a little separation on the scoreboard. Still undefeated, but little time to celebrate, as Baylor must quickly prepare for an ESPN Big Monday showdown with Top 10 ranked Kansas.

Don't forget guys, the Lady Bears are playing Iowa State tonight:





Iowa State is the only conference game they lost last season. This one is in Waco, not Ames.

No.

Dickie V is an institution. Walton needs to be in an institution.

FT% completely unacceptable for the #2 team in the country. We shoot that poorly Monday night against Kansas, we lose, period.

I don't know. Kansas is not having a good year. 25 point loss at home to Texas.

I don't know if he was a fan last year, but he was respectful. And he ate his crow for predicting a Gator win.

Because he had no choice, but all season he was critical, and picked every top opponent we played against us - even in years past - never a fan

Not exactly how it works CT. You're pretty much saying TX beating KU automatically means we beat KU. That's just laughable. We aren't invincible like most in here believe. We have several weaknesses that can be exploited. Not saying we lose Monday by any means
