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

4 for Vital and 3 on Mayer... not good

Mayer dribbling too much.

Mayer with that riot shield on his arm bringing it up the court

Bad Mayer is rearing his ugly head.

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

Refs sure have found their whistles at least on U of H end

Refs back in the ballgame.

Lots of whistles one way and basically zero called the other... and one has been way more physical with those zero called...

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

Oh look it's a foul on Houston

I think we will finish with a bang and send Gonzaga a message

Houston taking a long time to score even now

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

Hmm... JTT looked set well before Houston guy left the ground... don't agree with the "block"
Jorkel

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!

Flagler trying to give me a scare

Little late with the press. Game is over

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

That would be GREAT - finish this well!

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.

I'm not sure what's a foul on Houston this half.

Because he was!

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.
