We are a 1.5pt favorite at home vs Baylor? Does Vegas know something I don't?

Is Durant coming back for today's game?
 
Wow. Where has this team been all season? Great rhythm to the offense, strong D. Texas up 31-26 with 7:30 left in first half. Both teams shooting lights out from 3. We're 8/10 and Baylor is 5/7.

We'll see if we can keep this up for 40 minutes without a meltdown. Based on recent games, I doubt it.
 
42-41 Horns at half. Just crazy, we shot 82% from 3 and 64% from the field and we're only up 1.

Now for halftime adjustments- Terry vs Drew. I don't like our chances.
 
Guess who made the adjustments. We're 0-5 from 3 in 2nd half and we're down 61-58 with 9:05 to play.
 
Fun game so far. We've battled back with some hustle plays and made some adjustments for drive the rim. Tied at 65 with 4:53 to go.
 
baylor just tied it at 2 secs left.
Then Hunter went coast to coast and made it

Agree 100%. Coaches did a good job switching him out for D and in for offense after he picked up his 4th foul.

And I've been down on Weaver this year but that kid played his *** off today either hustle plays. Keep Cunningham on the bench and tell Weaver to keep playing that role.
 
After two complete duds today came as a refreshing surprise. Not sure that today changes my feeling that this team is flawed and headed toward a 5-13 type conference record but days like today means some small hope remains.
 
Maybe, just maybe, the team finally realized they have to fight hard for 40 minutes every game and can never let up no matter the score. I hated the non-conference schedule because bad habits (coasting, not taking care of the ball) can become ingrained when you can simply overwhelm your opponent. They were short handed against UConn thus a built in excuse and The fighting Shaka’s rained down threes on them so no lessons learned. Maybe it took the loss to ucf to wake them up to reality. Or it was just one game at home. Let’s see how they follow it up.

Beard won one Ncaa tourney game in his first year to best Shaka Smart at 0 games.
 
So happy to have this win! Losing to USF sucks, but losing to Baylor is almost like losing to aggy. Fake Bears all over the place who have no idea how to handle success especially against Texas. Now I don't have to listen to them run their mouths.
