BU forward Tristan Clark will not play vs. #KUbball today... He's out for the season with a knee injury. Big blow for the Bears.

Go time in Waco. More than a few #KUbball fans here, as you can hear in this...

Baylor doing big things with its pregame intros... #KUbball vs. Baylor coming up. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwvWGYDUUAEDx6n.jpg

Scott Drew losing his mind a minute into this one over a non call that didn't look anywhere close to a foul. #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:12:23 PM
That 3 by Vick puts him one more 3-pointer away from joining the 1,000-point club for #KUbball KU leads 3-2 early

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:13:55 PM
Dotson with a little penetration from top of the zone, with intent of creating an angle for pass to Vick. Corner 3 good from the senior. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:14:03 PM
Great job of forcing the contact in the open floor there by Dotson. Was not going to be denied getting to the rim. #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:15:05 PM
Perfect post-up form Lawson. Got his man on his back and easily led to a layup on pass from Grimes. #KUbball up 5-2

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:16:49 PM
Dotson in attack mode every chance he gets. In for a reverse layup and a 7-2 KU lead. 15:09 1st. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:18:22 PM
Has KU really blocked 5 shots in the first 5 minutes of this game?
Bears are 0 for 9 and KU credited with 2 blocks apiece for Lawson and Grimes, 1 for Vick. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:20:12 PM
These refs are swallowing their whistle like they want to see as much of that Chiefs-Colts game as possible. #KUbball leads 10-2 early.

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:22:28 PM
4 turnovers for BU on its first 12 possessions. Agbaji steal for the latest miscue. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:24:57 PM
How about Ochai, man. Grimes 3-pointer gets BLOCKED and Ochai rebounds it and hits a soft jumper to put #KUbball up 16-2. Wow.

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:32:17 PM
At least 1 guy in the Baylor student section saw the lob for Agbaji coming, calling it out to the defense.
It didn't matter.
Dotson to Agbaji for the high-flying oop. Screen from Lightfoot made it easy. #KUbball up 18-2

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:33:38 PM
Quentin Grimes diving onto the floor for loose balls a couple of times already. Effort has been there for him. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:34:40 PM
#KUbball is 7-for-14 so far today. Baylor? 0-for-13.

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:34:44 PM
There's actually some energy in the building now that the Bears, you know, made a couple of shots. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:36:59 PM
Baylor's first FG comes off of an offensive rebound at the 9:33 mark of the 1st half. 18-4, KU. Bears missed their first 15 shots.

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:37:06 PM
Dotson ➡️ Agbaji #kubball t.co

by Shane Jackson via twitter 1/12/2019 9:37:12 PM
Agbaji has absolutely changed the look -- and outlook -- of this #kubball team. Amazing difference.

A breakdown from KU's bigs at the back of a little press allows BU to get an uncontested dunk. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:42:19 PM
After an 18-2 start by #KUbball the Bears have outscored Kansas 17-4 and are down just 3 with 4:27 to play in the first half. Timeout Kansas, which has started to struggle against that BU zone.

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:47:07 PM
KJ Lawson had trouble tracking down his man in transition after missing a shot and on the scramble Baylor ends up with a good look at a 3 for Jared Butler, who drains it. #KUbball up 22-19

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:47:32 PM
#KUbball just 1 for its last 6 from the field... Baylor right back in this thing. 22-19, KU, 4:27 1H

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:48:58 PM
Marcus Garrett's down on the floor and being looked at by the training staff... #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:52:02 PM
Theyr'e looking at his right leg at or below the knee... He walks off gingerly on his own. Doesn't look like it was contact that led to the injury. #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:54:20 PM
There it is for Vick. Welcome to the 1,000-point club, Mr. Memphis. #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 9:56:50 PM
3-pointers from Vick and Agbaji have KU up 30-22 after a rough stretch offensively for the Jayhawks. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:57:21 PM
Vick got to Mason on the defensive rotation but as he closed out didn't get a hand up and Mason drains it. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:58:34 PM
Vick makes up for that lapse by draining a corner 3 to beat the buzzer.
#KUbball up 35-25 at half

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 9:59:42 PM
My fault. Vick stepped on the line on his attempt. It was a 2. He loves doing that (not really; but it happens a lot). #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 10:01:08 PM
ANOTHER UPDATE: That was definitely a 3 from Vick.
Baylor stat feed with a mistake, scoring it as a 2 while also having Vick down for a made FT (he had missed a FT). #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 10:06:04 PM
Are you here? Where are you sitting?

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 10:11:25 PM
Garrett starts the second half. He's obviously OK. Looks like he's favoring the right leg a little but not enough to not be out there. #KUbball leads 35-25 to open the 2nd.

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 10:16:08 PM
Vick couldn't do anything but laugh at the flop that led to Lawson being called for a charge inside. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 10:16:44 PM
Self on the refs about that no-call on Vital's layup... Saying, basically, that it's the same call they've been getting Lawson for on the 2 charges. #KUbball

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 10:18:18 PM
10 blocks for #KUbball today, spread pretty evenly throughout the lineup. KU leads 53-35, mid-second half.

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 10:32:01 PM
Agbaji gets up rubbing his neck and back of his head after battling to the ground for a rebound.
Freshman gets after it in every aspect of the game. #KUbball

by Benton Smith via twitter 1/12/2019 10:44:14 PM
Baylor fans are bouncing... This place is less than half full right now. #KUbball leads 66-48 with 3:59 to play.

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 10:59:07 PM
The good & bad of Lagerald Vick today... So good shooting the ball. So careless with it here in the final minute. Absolutely no reason Baylor even has hope. #KUbball leads 72-68 with 19.6 seconds to play in a mostly empty Ferrell Center. This game was more than over 5 minutes ago

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 11:15:42 PM
Baylor has a whopping TWENTY FOUR offensive rebounds today... Only reason they're still in this. #KUbball getting outworked on the glass all day. 47-30 is the total margin for BU.

by Matt Tait via twitter 1/12/2019 11:19:26 PM
FINAL from WACO... #KUbball survives a sloppy ending and improves to 14-2 overall and 3-1 in Big 12 play with a 73-68 win over Baylor. No reason the final score was that close. KU will play host to Texas on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.
