Stream quality just dipped and was so terrible, but Bilas just said "Drew wanted a goaltend, but won't get it," was it obvious and we got screwed by the refs again?

I think we're a little out of sync as a result of limited practice and games.

And KU is moving the ball quickly around the perimeter. We're not doing a good enough job of pressuring the passers and getting hands in passing lanes.

yes. Kansas is allowed to block shots after they hit the backboard.

Do we know for sure players had covid? Or contact tracing? HIPPA?

It looked like goaltending to me in real-time. Would like to see a replay

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


Nah, Texas has that nickname locked up

Not the way we're shooting the rock. This is as bad as it gets offensively
Too young to remember Baylor basketball before Drew if you really think this is 'as bad as it gets'.

I'm speaking from an offensive standpoint. This is bad if you don't see that then I'm sorry. I'm here in person it's BRUTAL. The effort level is a low as I've seen from a Drew team. Been a fan since I was 12 so early 2000's

Still waiting patiently for Jared Butler to score some points tonight. Baylor needs a few nice scoring runs, if they are to remain undefeated, while becoming 2021 Big XII Conference Champions.

Every coach Drew talked to said it takes 3 games to get back to normal after a pause..its obvious we dont have our legs or quickness..Jaylen Tatum of Celtics is 2 months post covid and hes still fatigued.

Our problem is we had several at once get it.

Flagler probably got fouled there, but if he goes off two feet he gets contact and at least goes to the line

Why everytime they show the KU coach after the dumbest foul call or out of bounds that was clearly on Kansas, he has the dumbest smirk or side smile

Very good points. We may never know who among these men actually had it.

Butler 1 of 7 from the field, 0 of 5 from 3. Surely something has gotta start dropping for him.

These announcers are terrible: spending way too much talking about irrelevancies instead of THIS GAME! Right now, I couldn't care less about what Michigan is doing.

If KU drives it's either a immediate foul, a bucket and a foul, or an easy bucket.

We have no idea how to defend a drive it seems like.

When the tall, goofy white kid is scoring on you inside and the short goofy white kid is rebounding the ball over Vital...............you know it's not your night.
