We're only down 3 at the half and our 3 best players are 6 of 20 from the field. Those percentages should shift toward their norm, which means at least one or two should be on in the 2nd half. I like our chances. Big first half for Flo. Big first half.

Butler has not scored so hoping he gets it going soon.

Could say the same for Kansas though. McCormick is the only option they've had and their up 3.

It would have been nice for Baylor to have a lead at Halftime, but only down 3 points to Kansas is okay in Lawrence. A few lead changes, and both teams are playing tough on defense. I guess Jared Butler is saving all his points until the 2nd Half. LET'S GO, BAYLOR BEARS!

Getting hammered on the boards. 23-13. We shoot and often there's zero BU players crashing the glass

Welp in person it's not looking good. Yes we're only down 3. But McCormick is doing anything he wants. And they can dribble drive whenever they want. Hopefully I'm wrong. But I see L #1 coming. This team is still a giant shell of what it is.


Only down 3 after a baaaad offensive performance. I'll take that most games. I think we'll heat up in the second half.

He is notorious for this - he will get it done in the 2nd half

Biggest concern is that we're really not getting many open looks. A few we probably should have made. Hopefully Drew makes some adjustments to create space. Defensively we have to deny Dave the ball

That's gotta be the most we've been outrebounded by an opponent in a half this year? 23-13.

Wow... the replay of one of McCormick's buckets showed him lower his shoulder into Thamba and extend his elbow to shove him down... that was the play Bilas claimed "a guy thamba's size can't go down like that, glad they didn't call the flop..." guy is ****ing blind.

Forgive them, for they know not what they do. Plus they have to live in Kansas. Sic'em Bears!

Both teams stinking it up from 3 so far. 25% for us vs. 11% for them.

2 of 7 from the FT line. You can't do that in big games. Margin of error is too thin.

Should probably change our team name to the Baylor Bricklayers. We're in for a rough few weeks

So the rest of the season is a wash because we're shouting bad tonight?

The kid from Denton has almost as many rebounds as our entire team.
