And if Tang is the mastermind of the Baylor defensive improvement, I'm wondering how in a 1-3-1 full court trap four guys are beat down the floor after a single inbound pass.

This is two consecutive games (really more like 4) they've been destroyed on the boards and have played really poor defense. They got away with it at home. Not so today.

after that mess of a game, I will no longer complain about this team being on ESPN 360 or the +

KSU should now be good and mad for their upcoming matchup.

Play like today and the only storming will be grady dick wiping his junk on the entire octagon.

Seriously. This team looks like it hit the wall.

They wouldn't be the first team who mentally took a day because of the game coming up on their schedule.

This conference just doesn't allow for that, though.

Baylor is beating the BeJesus out of OSU. Wonder if the wheels are starting to come off state.

Duke being bad now without Coach K is an interesting development.

Um this seems bad. Is this bad?

One of the two suspects charged with capital murder is Alabama basketball player Darius Miles https://t.co/6jzKRAClCt

one hand, I would not want to be a black man in the Alabama justice system and capital murder is a good way to get executed.

on the other hand the state would never embarrass the school by executing one of their players.
