These refs are total hacks


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


Wasn't a hack. Had a handful of the back of Matt's jersey
The 20 uncalled fouls were hacks. Its a generic statement as to how they play. Yes, that particular play was a hold. They hold a ton as well but they also slap and body. Its why WVU gets knocked early sometimes. If refs call it tight their chances to win games plummet.

Would be great if Illinois could win, but they're missing their best player so unlikely.

Felt like it was slipping away around the 5 minute mark in regulation. Our guys really dug deep on the road. Wow.

Great game Bears. Big 12 Champs! Long time coming.

It's over now, but I'd be so pissed if I was WVU with that charge lol. Refs finally made a bad call our way.

A lot of respect to WVU, they made that really hard for us. Great battle, Baylor just had a few more playmakers at the end.

BIG 12 CHAMPS! In a year where the league was strong and 7 teams deep, 5 of which have a good shot at the sweet 16! Love the fight in this team and all wrapped in their faith.

I was shocked to see that call go our way also. At that point of the game I'm really surprised that was not just a no call.

To every Baylor fan!! From the beginning, this season promised to be what last season wasn't because post season was cancelled. This is the first step.
