KenPom has the game 66-59 Baylor now.

Manu Lecomte - a game time decision on whether he will play.

Line is BU -6

I hope Manu does not play unless he is 100%.

SIAP - looks like Manu won't play today. Good move if he's not 100% . We need him healthy for the tournament.

We're going to need the Freeman from the WVU game to show up. His scoring will be much needed without Manu in the lineup.

Chuck is on another level athletically. He's going to be fun to watch develop the next 2-3 years.

Ish lucky there. I'm not sure I've seen one of our players with quicker hands than Chuck. He's done that all season then makes a nice play on the break.
Media Bear

CHUCK!

Chuck finally with a 3 going down. Would love to see him go off. They are really letting them play seems like TX is all over us on both ends.

BOOM 3 by Chuk! I'm excited to see him get some minutes today. He looks like he's gonna be explosive when he fully develops.
