That ball looked to be off Baylor.

[Chiefspants]

Assist to Scott Drew for that 9-0 run to finish.

Scott just can't close it out at AFH.

[KC_Connection]

Not sure how Baylor didn't win that game, but I'll take it.

[Al Bundy]

KU sucks, but Baylor handed them the game at the end. It's almost like the rest of the Big 12 doesn't want to win the conference.

[Chiefspants]

Scott Drew seems to go full Andy Reid in the last 2 minutes at AFH.

My wife was like “how are we losing?” So I pointed to the TV.

Later I said this is how you piss away a win and pointed to the TV.

I am a better game day coach than Scott Drew.

[Buehler445]

But like you I’ll take it.

[ReynardMuldrake]

Malik Newman deserves a ton of credit. Really put the team on his back at the end.

[Lzen]

That last play was a total cluster****.

Was basically the only player who played well the entire game for KU. Devonte did all right, but the rest were terrible. I still don't get how Udoka is such a bad rebounder.

Even if his uncle/mom bought the car for him and not some booster you still have to have paperwork in the car you are driving about ownership of the car. Your friend let you borrow it etc.

Your an NCAA player, you know the rules. Some booster gave you a car to drive, make sure the paperwork is correct or when the NCAA finds out, its a bureaucracy nightmare. But, its still on him.

Self saved KU. He can say we didn't know about the car and when we found out, we didn't let him play in games till the papaerwork was "found" and the NCAA cleared him. NCAA comes down on this, we could have had to forfeit games or get a penalty in the future.

It's much, much deeper than the car. If it was just the car, Billy would have been playing after the Christmas break.

Billy and Mom are sketch as ****.

Special kudos to the tards on this thread declaring he was going to be eligible. You know who you are, but I can look you up if nec.

Oh, shut the **** up.

There was no reason to not be hopeful. If it was, indeed, just the car, the punishment would have been sitting out like 12 games.

The writing was only on the wall when Billy was no longer mentioned after that Friday at 5pm deadline and NCAA threw us a bone with DeSousa.

Preston missing the first game before the car incident even happened was also an indication that something was amiss (I believe the official excuse there was "missing curfew").

[jimidollar]

Lucky to pull out that win. Baylor played tough today. We will likely see that same strategy used against us in the future since out FT shooting stinks. Svi almost cost us the game with his dumbass fouls.
