A bit sloppy now but that 3 was beautiful.

Too many fouls.

Did that graphic just say Houston 3 fouls, Baylor 10? That sounds even-handed (or not).

As a little boy watching the bears in the HOT coliseum, I never thought I would watch the Bears play for the national championship. I am an old man with tears in my eyes.

Sometime in the game I started thinking about the games in the old HOTC. The temp floor laid out on top of the rodeo dirt. Bringing the ball up was always interesting as the floor was dead in some spots and it took off like a Superball in others. Smoke filled arena with some of the worst lighting you have ever seen. We've come a long way

There is nothing much to add. Baylor is a great team and I look forward to the championship game.

If they play their best that is all you can ask of them.

No words...That was a clinic of a game. Sort of reminded me of the 2010 Sweet Sixteen game against St. Mary's. We just came out with every cylinder firing and didn't let up in both ends of the court. As many have said on here, we have come a long way and Scott Drew, his staff, the players...past and present, have built this program to something special. SIC 'EM BAYLOR BEARS!!!!!!
