There is no give up with the Bears today--despite that attitude from some fans.

That's been the problem with this crew: they have not acquired proper angles all day

Culver 0-3 from the field with three points

That's been a shock. Isn't going to matter though.

Just have to want it more. We are more active the past 5 minutes. Still sloppy, especially on defense. Mitchell needed help down low for example, didn't get any. Really did a good job, but this isn't 1 on 1.

Regardless of the outcome, this is a much better overall effort by the Baylor Bears.

John just said WVU has the best guards in the Big 12 or even the country but everyone has been saying that about Baylor for 2 years. They are down but not out & they will be back soon enough. Hopefully over the next few minutes of this game.

Before this started I didn't expect us to still be in this game at the end. Some good positive signs tonight.

Surprisingly we have, but Sherman and McNeil have more than made up for it
