Raiders are doing well. Came out of the gate fast and then gave up a run. Back up to a 9 point lead now. It'll be interesting to see if anyone runs out of gas with 4 or 5 minutes left in the game. Hoping it stays close as a spectator.
I just heard last night (I think) that Tristan Clark, the Baylor big guy who blew out his knee and was supposedly retired from bball, is back in the game on the SMU squad. Best wishes to that guy, he was supposed to be a key part of the team that won the NC last year. Losing him is why Drew went to the small guard lineup that proved to be so successful.
So Tech turns around and has a makeup game with Pokes tomorrow. Then regularly scheduled game on Saturday. Man, it's like punishment for getting sick in this league. Baylor showed the way last year, just wait so far into the season to "get COVID" that there isn't time...
Alrighty then, so much for the perfect season. Congrats to Tech. Defense is all about effort and the Red Raiders gave more effort than the home team in Waco last night.
Drew doesn't have the senior guards he had last year and he's going to have to find something that works for the team he has this year. Against average effort the Bears can win on talent and good effort. They still need to find that next level because that's what opponents are bringing when they play Baylor this year because of what last year's Baylor team accomplished. Sins of the older brothers I guess.
10-4 Baylor on the boards so far. That's where Tech was abusing the JHawks so I'm a bit surprised by that. I think Raiders had 54 rebounds against TN this year.
I think there's a good chance, particularly in the case of someone with some celebrity status, they have fluffers and "yes" people around them who are clueless about the nature of alcoholism. When you're constantly accustomed to other's attention it's human nature to offer up your thoughts when questioned and your sense of self may be inaccurate. I'm coming up on 6 years and about all I'll share with anyone outside of sponsoring them is what it was like, what happened and what it's like now. And I don't randomly volunteer that much. Maybe that's an ego problem for me and maybe I should wear my sobriety a little more openly. IDK.
Kevin Sumlin, football coach. A man barely alive. We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better. Stronger. Faster. Part man, part swag copter. Take the gamble.
Baylor's Jeremy Sochan left the game earlier with a sprained ankle. Came back out with a boot on his foot. TCU's Miles may have injured his hand earlier and hasn't been quite the same since.
Adam Flagler has 5 3's in the 2nd half.
BU leads 63-58 at the U8 TO. Baylor to inbounds after.
Flagler drains another 3.
Sloppy play. 9 turnovers. Miles for TCU has been automatic. TCU was down 8 and went on a 14-2 run. I don't recall anyone going on a run like that against Baylor yet this year.
