No need to push right now, just run the offense and kill clock. Mayer gives me the heebie jeebies when he brings it up

Mayer should rarely bring the ball up.

I don't know if we've lost a little interest....but we've gotten a little sloppy on offense....only 15 points in 13 minutes

Its counterintuitive to protect a lead this big for so long.

Now we going to start calling tight, really? That's what gives officials a bad name - being inconsistent! Fouls are 9-3 against Baylor.

Glad we haven't heard from Sasser as much as first half.

Embarrassing that this is the final four matchup for us. Guess it wouldn't have mattered we would have trashed any team.

It's saying something when your offense getting more than a point a minute means it's getting sloppy!

Don't guess it's going to matter....but that seemed like a clear miss by the ref

That's what I'm saying. Let's put the bench in and let the starters rest and go ahead and get that delivery order of steaks to the team hotel.

Tonight: 45-20 at half
Wish they'd go back to look at the 3 the refs called a 2 from Mitchell
Really! That was egregious.
I thought it was a 2 in real time, but I haven't seen a replay.
I was certain it was a 3, but I could be wrong. I don't know where his feet were but I thought he was a good distance out.
