The gamblers are ticked off. KU finishes with a 7-0 run to beat the spread.

I don't care though. I want to play UT so bad to wrap this conference up.

We normally win as a team ... but tonight, we don't win without Butler. He was pretty good.

That's gonna make the Bad Beats reel...Haha.

But really, awesome win for the Bears! It is just methodical watching them play. It never seemed that the game was close or getting away from them, even when the score was down to 5. They just put it into gear and kept pulling away. We're watching something special this season. Sic 'Em!!!!

This team just finds a way to win period. Saturday Butler was nonexistent (until the last couple of minutes) and we still ground out at eight point road win. It's pretty impressive.

A very good 8-point win by #2 Baylor over #9 Kansas tonight on ESPN Big Monday.. Great scoring night from Jared Butler with 30 points, and Baylor finished the night shooting 54% in the victory. 92% from the free throw line, and winning the team rebounds battle, 29-23. Baylor is catching up to Gonzaga in wins vs Top 25 ranked opponents. 18-game ESPN Big Monday winning streak for the Kansas Jayhawks ended with the 77-69 loss to the Baylor Bears. The winner and still undefeated Baylor Bears!

A second MVP goes to Vital. The stat line might not show it, but his influence on the game was huge. Just huge. Might have been difficult to pick up on tv, but in person he was just outstanding.

And West Virginia. Too bad both our games against them are back to back. I guess beats not playing them in Waco.

It's a good thing the players don't have the same mindset as you. We still have several tough games prior to TX. Example @OSau Saturday. We also have WV twice @OU, Tech, @KU. It's beating Tx isn't going to wrap up anything
