I don't mind vital picking up fouls since Mayer can just spell him
I don't like fouls we don't earn
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

Too much solo ball play from the guards the last 2 min.

Mitchell's drive to the bucket with a no call with the Ark defender using his forearm to keep him from getting inside seems pretty poor.

Glad to see the next Mitchell drive get a call, just can't miss the free bucket afterwards.

No one is even trying to rebound or keep them out of the paint at all, other than Vital and he's on the bench with 4...

Have never watched a game where the announcers have misidentified the teams [not for one another but for some other team] at least 50 times.

Oregon?

Arkansas Travelers?

Ya.... Keep hoping we are about to break it open....but we can't seem to push it past a 12 point lead

Baylor looks very focused, and when they are aggressive driving to the hoop, they are getting some nice lay-ups. Butler, Mitchell, and Teague have combined to score 38 of Baylor's 62 points.

Vital has 4. We gotta have Mitchell on the floor. His drives just shred their defense
