I can now say I lived long enough (currently 56 years old) to see a Baylor Bears basketball team reach the Final Four. I'm so very happy!

That was certainly underscored for the 8 minutes he was on the bench in the first half

Our inbound defense is so ****ing bad today...


Reading through the game this morning. Are you an aggy troll? My Lord so negative. Dude this level of basketball is an all out battle 40 minutes. Ebbs & flows. It's a game of runs.

How big was that charge call early in the 2nd? If that goes the the other way and he picks up his 4th...

I think Cali has onlu posted when something goes bad. I'll check again, but I've never seen him post on a great play or after a win. Just constantly posts after a turnover or stupid foul.
