Yep.

Prince missing those free throws hurts early.

Holmes doesn't have her usual jumping ability either.

Overall, we are playing like sh%t, especially on offense. Kristy Wallace at pg is not working

Cox drives and is fouled. Cox raked the girls face on the follow through so they're looking at it, but she had Cox's arms on the shot attempt.

Not sure why she wasn't shooting free throws

Baylor turnover on the inbounds

Rather us call a timeout than just fling up a haphazard pass like that.

Texas is quicker than us.

Aston has the Lady Horns looking QUITE stout.

Lady Bears better raise their game. The past few years of BU dominance are OVER.

Foul instead of a tie up.

Mm-Kay ...

Need better than that Wallace.

Heck, I can dribble a ball off my foot. No problem ...

Cox is so frustrating. I really expected more from her. Holmes was the clear #1 in the class imho.

Nothing has changed from the game is Waco. Outplayed badly across the board. Something terribly wrong about this team.

Don't recognize this BU team tonight. 9 turnovers in first quarter. Texas has 7 offensive rebounds.
trumpetbear

Being out rebounded 12 to 6 and have 9 turnovers. That's the story so far.
