Baylor needs someone to come off the bench and give 5 hard fouls about this point in a game reffed like this. Might slow down those drives down the lane.

I absolutely hate everything about the University of Texas, so it makes me so happy when we beat them at everything. But to beat them by 14 in Austin when they were top 10 makes me ecstatic.

Until later in the second half, that was the best game I've seen from Texas in a long, long time. They would have been blowing out almost anybody at that point in the game. Very good win and if we win on Saturday we really should be #1 now or at least completely split.

Free throw shooting killed the Horns.

3 for 13 plus several front end one-and-one misses.

Are you kidding me?

Higgins tried, we were just too good tonight -this team can flat out ball! Gutty win, Bears, now let's take care of our business the rest of the way.

Jones is a 32% shooter from 3 this year. He's hit 4 of 8 tonight.
They were out of their minds until later in the 2nd half. Texas played great outside of the FTs and gassing out late in the game.

Bears now have 6 Quad 1 wins and are the only team with 6.

Finally an actual real team.
What are you talking about? We have wins over Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Auburn, and Kansas, all of which are decent to very good teams. Texas will be the best team we face this season, but that does not mean we have played a bunch of nobodies up to this point.


All noodles.

Just kidding Texas is a noodle too.

Not that it matters, unless you are a gambler, but KenPom has a new #1... again. This time by +0.91.

I'm guessing it sticks this time. Just keep winning.

A quick look... Texas averages about 20 fouls a game as of late... they had 8 or 9 all game

I was too nervous to post on the official Baylor-Texas MBB game thread last night. Great shooting and scoring night for Davion Mitchell. Jared Butler had his moments with some nice baskets. Even though both teams shot over 50% for the basketball game, Baylor held another Big XII opponent to under 70 points. Overall, an impressive 14-point road win over Texas, and a good lead in the 2021 conference standings.
