Both teams shot 25-55 from the field, both teams shot 8 threes.

Difference was we went 18-23 at the line, they went 5-7.

Man, what a great game. Not everything was easy for us. Wisconsin really played their hearts out. We won on defense today. Let those Wiscy guards light us up like UNC did, different game altogether. We really handled them as well as we could hope.

I was reading other fans talking about our defense a few weeks ago, they were saying we're actually not so hot generally, but very elite at forcing turnovers. This game was a lot like that. We forced a ton of turnovers, but they had their possessions too, and scored plenty enough to make it a game.

It says a lot, when a good team like Wisconsin can have a decent game shooting the ball, and we still dominate them, about our defense, and our intensity.

Nice to see these stats and efficiency at the free throw line - really nice! They only took 7 foul shots? Wow, didn't seem that way...

Anybody know if Mitchell's ankle is going to be a problem? I know he came back in, but sometimes that injury swells, bruises, and gets worse on day 2-5...or longer

I was very impressed with the way Baylor played defense in the 1st Half vs Wisconsin yesterday. It was fun watching the Baylor Bears get baskets in transition fast break situations, 3-point baskets, and occasional mid-range jumpers. It never felt like Wisconsin would rally in the 2nd Half. Great game off the bench by Matthew Mayer. 3 players in double figure scoring. Congratulations to Scott Drew and the Baylor Bears reaching the Sweet Sixteen.
