Fouls on us are legit! Getting out played in every facet of the game. Sleep walking. Need to wake up pronto

They are looking sloppy now.

We cannot handle zone defenses.

This is a trap game.

Yep, I felt that all along. I cringe every time I hear someone talk as if a win is a for gone conclusion

Clueless on how to attack a zone

Great, which HULU doesn't carry the local affiliate.

5 baskets and 5 turnovers now for Baylor in the 1st Half. Oklahoma State is more aggressive driving to the hoop than Baylor.

Just have to take care of the ball. Not sure how we come out looking so clueless.

16-6 rebounds in favor of OSU WOW.

The OSU offensive rebounds are really frustrating. They're getting a ton of second chance points

Totally getting out hustled.

That was premature. They are looking lost again.

Thankfully Coach Drew is good at dialing up plays to use out of a time out.

I love JTT and Thamba but they are getting pushed around at will! Soft as pillows

We have to rebound better

Coming into this game that is one thing they can do
I think they are around 50th in the country

We are in the 90's in rebounding

Get mad JTT, need ya.

The guards have to start crashing the boards to help our bigs.

I like the 3-point baskets from Butler and Cryer. Down 21-17 to Oklahoma State, as Baylor is playing inconsistently to this point in the 1st Half. Time for a Baylor scoring run soon.
Porteroso

This may actually be our normal level of hustle, I think. Good for our guys to see them come out with what I'd call an elite level of hustle.

Have to find a way to win. I think we will. We will find the zone's weakness.

Can't tell from roof cam but OSU looks to have a decided height advantage.

Great play Mark!

Just got in from golf, flip on the TV, see we're behind, look at the boxscore, 3 assists, 6 TOs and we're getting doubled up on the boards, all of this with Cunningham not playing. Ok, now I see why we're behind.

Nice breakdown of the zone defense by Vital for the hoop and the harm. Still trailing by a slim margin, but I'm seeing more aggressive play by the Baylor Bears on offense.

It's a good thing Cade is out... yikes

Good grief. Have their ballhandlers been beating us to the first step on every drive to the basket all day?

OSU is playing lights out. My guess is they won't keep it up in the second half.

We likely put a lot into preparing for Cade, and with him out - we have shown to be incredibly flat. Need to stay within 8 and have a fire lit under us at halftime. This is an experienced, mature team. I think they will regroup.

Getting beaten to every loose ball right now. We're ok, though. Just gotta weather the storm and keep it close going into the half.
