I'm 430 miles south of Waco down Route 77 and I still need to watch the game on TV but it's not raining with the temperature around 25-30 degrees warmer. Agreed that it's little consolation but then again the concession stand is a heck of a lot closer to my seat.
Not being a native Texan I hope that X serves them a good helping of old-fashioned "whupazz" while ignoring that home court advantage.
GO X!

430 miles...Texas is a big-assed state.
Ken Pom projects a 71-67 Baylor win. Basically a "pick-me" game with the 4 pt advantage being the home court advantage.
I know Motley gets the pub but Lual-Acuil is a 7-0 big who averages 9 pts and 8 boards.
Combined, he and Motley combine for 24 pts and 15 boards a game in 57 minutes of play.
X's 3 headed monster at 5 - JOG - combine for 46 minutes, 17 pts and 14 boards.
Hope Gates can help on the defensive end and play more than the 14 minutes he played in the NDSU game.

Will be interesting to see how the whistle is blown today.
Baylor's opponents have had more fouls called in every game so far this year.
Baylor has a total of 37 less fouls called than opponents or about 5 per game.
X has a total of 14 less fouls called but the Buffalo game accounts for 17 of that difference so excluding that game, the fouls are pretty much even.

A lot of gnashing of teeth in my neck of the woods - ULCA beats UK at UK.
Another road win would be nice to see.

BU is getting to all of the loose balls so far.
JP gets hammered on a drive...so looks like the refs will have a slow whistle.
2 3's for Tre - going to need him to keep making those.
