Chance to go up by double digits and we barfed it. Ugh.
72-61 Bears is a double-digit lead ...

Teague and DM doing it.. And just as this is typed yet another turnover when the game could be iced. Frustrating.

Those last two for Teague he set and didn't have an awkward shot and he drains them.
Amazing what actually passing he ball will do.

Like clockwork. If his feet are set, he nails 'em. If you see him leaning to the side off balance, almost always front of the rim and short.

An 8-1 scoring run now has Baylor leading Arkansas by 9 points with 3:24 to play in the 2nd Half. 22 points for Macio Teague. Baylor is shooting 60% from 3-Point Range.

Time for the Butler, Teague, Mitchell, Mayer, Vital lineup. Enough size and 4 shooters.

I'd like to see him shoot a couple more of those.

Make that an 11-point lead. 6:10 of no baskets for Arkansas. Great Baylor defense the past few minutes.

Flagler gets fouled twice on that play and the refs choke on the whistle... a body foul and a reach.

Dagger by Flagler
