I get what Vital was trying to do, draw the foul, but didn't have the angle.

So maybe we are due a half court swish. Lord knows we've seen a few fall against us.

#2 had a hold of Mayer on the baseball pass, which is why Matt couldn't go for it. You saw him put his hands up as soon as he got away with it.

We were if we could have inbounded. We've had 5 hit against us so far this year which must be close to a record.

WVU hacks a lot. They let them play through so we need to adjust. But yes, they hold a lottttt

Butler threw the pass before Mayer was ready. Wasn't even looking.

But yes any defender will hold a bit until the pass is in the air. Didn't make a difference.

This would be a really great game to watch if I wasn't a Baylor fan... Gonna need a sedative.
