Shaka about to lose 4 in a row vs Scott Drew and Baylor is about to give TX their worst B12 home loss of the season unless TX gets hot.

Love the comeback about thinking about this in the shower..."I don't think I needed to know where you were thinking about that". LOL

Drew all up in McClure about taking that drive too soon. Even though it was there -- smart play was to run clock.
