Why do we keep making no look passes to a 5 who couldn't catch a ball if you were standing beside him and handed it to him. Sheesh.

Thamba really needs to use his body more. He always just goes up soft and straight up.

Teague's bucket makes it 6-5 Baylor

I'm not late on my comments; my iPad video feed apparently is running 45-60 seconds behind.

6-5 bears. Just need to get into a rhythm offensively. I predict a 12-2 run in the near future to push to double digits.

Geezus Thamba

I've given up on him ever learning how to go up strong with the ball at the rim.

Agree - esp with the pace on those passes

6-5 Baylor for those who must work today.

Slow start, but this is how it goes for most 1 seeds. Illinois was only up 6 with about 5 minutes to go in the first half, won by 30+. Nice to be able to ease into the Tourney and get those nerves out. Can't mess around for too long, though.

The problem was he left the guy wide open for 3 and had to close out hard. He's not agile enough to close hard on a guard and keep him in front. Had no shot.

We didn't need two VERY early fouls on Vital - JTT needs to step up for him
BUbackerinET
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Needed - we need to eliminate any doubt early and get as many guys rest as possible

Lazy on Mayer everywhere

Did they call travel on Mitchel? If so Terrible

Refs calling this very tightly. Not a fan of that.

Come on guys - snap out of it!

We've started the game like a 17-10 team.

Announcers said they are calling a lot of fouls on Baylor.

Don't want to let these guys hang around

Terrible in bound defense - terrible miss in transition

Why did they take away the points?

Yes, but the "glass ceiling" breaker announcer failed to mention it.

Out hustled from the jump... this is pathetic. Come on guys... I only see Mayer giving it his all on defense so far.
DanaDane

This is why no one is immune in a tournament. They get used to the style of play their conference officials allow, but get in the NCAA and have no control over that, Big 12 officials allow pretty physical play. These guys are not gonna have any of that today.
IowaBear

Thought maybe we would see BU come out hungry! Not yet but it's still early.
SIC EM 94

Thamba gets crushed on the rebound...no foul called resulting in a turnover.

This "glass ceiling breaker" is almost making me yearn for Beth Mowins.

We can't throw it in the ocean from a boat. Wow
