Put John in there and sit Thamba until and unless we have to have him.

Go back to Teague ball screen to get the big man on him. Then it's just 1 v 1.

Pretty ugly first half. Just need to settle in, force them to play at our pace. Hoping for the best, this second half.

I figured they'd call it on him, but with the lowered shoulder and forearm shiver you just can't call it on the defender.

It's getting very intense during the 2nd Half. Arkansas is trying to put scoreboard pressure on Baylor. The Baylor Bears need to continue the game plan which to this point in the Elite Eight has been successful.

Too much dribbling on the offensive end. Need to get back to the ball movement we had at the start of the game
