Baylor vs Texas Tech | 2021.3.7 | NCAAB Game

exciting game these two teams are going to go after it we had them earlier this year there's a heck of a game to two minutes left in the game butler really struggled in that game if you remember he struggled big time but then he came up big in the last two minutes to win that game for beyonce my eyes can't pick that stuff up that easily i'll try to pick you up if i can as jared butler tries to get things started for baylor looks down low to vital that's blocked from behind it will stay with baylor with nine to shoot you may have seen the shield on the face of mark vital he was bumped across the nose by jonathan chamochachua on thursday against oklahoma state has a face contusion and so as a result wearing the protective mask for senior day today and he's got it right along the baseline with the shot clock down to six muscles one up and it's senior day why not appropriate mark vital scores the game's first points yeah really big strong inside player he's a guy you don't see a whole lot in the stats in terms of points but he's so vital to their winning he is really epitomizes what we define usually be talking about the blue guy a guy that really rebounds defends does all the things it takes to win and there he is grabbing a rebound [Applause] butler sets up teague in the corner acot makes it a quick 5-0 start for baylor well one of the great teams in america making threes they make about 10 a game they rank right up there they shoot the 3d as well as anyone in fact they're number one doesn't get better than that 42 percent again went through a little heat cup when he came back from golden 19. and a real struggle with iowa state and then got beat by kansas but they're back that was their river we're back playing uh coach tommy said we're really back right now marcus santos silva called for the travel [Applause] jared butler also trying to put an exclamation point on the end of what very well could be a big 12 player of the year season even with the covet pause that baylor suffered through he has had an incredible season and boy can they knock down threes team does it again you're up there in terms of a cis per game 17 a game 11 to the nation scoring margin third 20 points a game differential three-point field goal games 10.4 ninth in the nation steals their seventh in the nation turnover their fourth and that's why they sit at number three in america with a great chance to be moved up to number two because michigan had gotten beaten this week last week by illinois [Applause] vital looks back door and butler recovers seven on the shot clock he pulls up at the elbow that won't go with tip five vital he's working the baseline but mack mcclung takes it away for texas tech and texas tech is the number one points against defensive team in the big 12. so they can lock you down but now they turn it over and santos silva fouls davion mitchell that was a good timeout a little bit earlier by chris beard got a heck of a job since arriving down there as their coach he's done a terrific job getting them done to stand to play their system they defend well and don't turn the ball over a whole lot and they usually get quality shots i mean he could flat out coaches no doubt about it [Applause] [Music] clears some space and knocks it down as he sent tj shannon flying no call and vital is able to make it a 10-0 start for the bears he's got a wave one right there i think you've got senior day they got away with it that baby mike in the post flips one up that won't go that was a tough shot for loose ball i mean fellas really come to play right out of the gate man they they've come to play at home [Applause] shot fake vital rolls one off the rim flo thambo lost it out of bounds so it will go to texas tech but mark vital has four of baylor's 10. watch this right here now is vital gonna go in wow i believe it was an acting job there was some contact there i mean he got away with one right there it's senior [Applause] the only average is about six points per game so he already has four on the board that's an early curtain call on senior day for mark vital as he takes a seat for the first time [Applause] mark vital will be the first college graduate in his family it's just a great story and he really epitomizes so much of what this baylor program has become under scott drew here's tj shannon closely guarded by meyer meyer digs in deep shannon holds on to the basketball wide open mccullar in the lane takes a bump and he'll go to the free-throw line to try and get texas tech on the board mcconaughey had the earlier shot he made the extra dribble to try and get closer but he had a really a simple shot in the lane he's a solid all-around player for them puff physical kid chris beard had a great line earlier this year talking to him about kevin mccullar and said i told kevin mccullar people call you a role player as if somehow that's a bad thing what's wrong with being a role player you know what they call role players in the nba multi-millionaires i like that i like that there's no wrong being a role player everybody has time to find some way you got a star you got to roll players [Applause] next to texas nothing with shannon and kyle edwards and i wish he's been playing a lot better it's always shannon she had an injury that that was trying to hide for a while in terms of flipping trying to complain [Music] [Applause] earlier this year seems to be okay now as mitchell mitchell's had a great year for them [Applause] nothing like that [Applause] butler thought about it three instead gives it up to meyer on the baseline that was blocked thrown down by tyler edwards so we'll step over together won a conference championship back in 1950. i was 11 years old i was cheering i know you weren't cheering for him i was my history has been made by baylor on many fronts with scott drew he has taken this program to never seen before heights and they can do something else today that they've never done before or at least all the way back in 1948 the last time they were undefeated at home for an entire season they have never had an undefeated home season at the farrell center that started the farrell center 1988 little good movie for jonathan there's someone selfish they really shared a boy you know he mentioned scoop steph drew he came in 2003 trying one of the biggest rebuild jobs in the ncaa history what he did he's unbelievable sports national coach of the year 2020. he's been a great guy great communicator i'm proud to say he's going to be one of our hotter guests next year at argo there's the first field goal for texas tech as tyler edwards is able to knock one down he's a veteran player you know he played in a championship game against virginia did well in that game and he's a guy that's now picked it up and they need him especially in tournament action he and shannon have a little what a great drive what a great drive what about the speed equipment has gone into basket davion mitchell accelerates to the goal shannon comes back the other way and that's out of bounds off t.j shannon challenged by meyer and chamachacha for the 36th year checkweek continues on the networks of espn tomorrow the west coast conference semifinals will take place saint mary's meets gonzaga at nine eastern six pacific on espn and then pepperdine squares off against byu at midnight eastern nine pacific that on espn2 you can always watch these games live on the espn app from anywhere i miss going out to vegas who likes to go to vegas have a great time out there absolutely i'll see some shows rod stewart with the city having some great shows over the years i missed that and i've been seeing the zags of one few what a year they've had higher accelerates tried to give one up to chamachacha and he was fouled on a reach-in well all season long it was baylor and gonzaga back and forth in the debate as to who should be number one the zags obviously undefeated they have held on to that title the entire year when baylor finally lost a game michigan slid up into the number two spot this past week dropping baylor one spot to number three but do you think it's an argument still between gonzaga and baylor as to who the best team in america is well you know i think michigan in that conversation what about illinois so illinois as well i'm not convinced you know you play on a neutral court play those two people i don't know right now certainly gonzaga really gets the slight edge and dominating people that they haven't played during the regular season the kind of competition like earlier in the season they did but let's face reality i think that might be the first to say it's not like you're facing what they face in a big tent i mean there's no every game is an absolute battle how about the week illinois has had and we capped it yesterday with their win the game we called in columbus against ohio state as knocking one down is t.j shannon but they go out and without ayo de they're beating top ten teams in iowa and michigan and then they come up with another top ten win on the road yesterday at ohio state you might be right illinois might be right there with the best anywhere in college basketball oh i really believe that [Applause] baseline parents nadomi gets on the board goldman gets the score in a baseline prior to that shannon knocked out a three and that's good news for them if they get in going because he could score he could score one thing about him they're never gonna quit this team is gonna battle and battle a battle they take pride in their defense alamera now what do you do with drake computer committee i mean they had a great year 25 i think in four and you look at belmont got beat last night they're 26 and four do you leave those teams home because you can look at their scheduling and say well they don't play the kind of heavyweights that the power conferences play what do you reward greatness all year in the case of drake they're playing without their star scorer and rebounder to name temple and i'll tell you this they say he's going to come back for the tournament so i hope the committee looks at that locking foul called onto dolny on the drive by davion mitchell so mitchell will head to the free-throw line mitch is so dangerous because he can shoot the three as well just drive the basketball his stock going up and up i personally think the missouri valley conference a really quality league and i think both those teams should be in the tournament and certainly when i look at drake and kind of a year and a half his reward greatness pardon me that foul called on michael peavey that was pb's first the other way comes mac macron has been quiet in this game is surrounded by bears and it looks like a foul is going to be called on a reach-in as it looked like baylor had tj shannon bottled up [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the mask was the difference here's matt mclaughlin he's missed his only field goal attempt so far fourth leading scorer in the big 12 conference he always gets so much attention he's such a tough hard-nosed player came to round at georgetown [Applause] this time butler fouls santos silva at one of the best moments a manager takes a charge in the game how do you think the teammates are going to react exactly as you would expect it was one of the best moments we've seen this season and no one loved seeing it more than chris beard yeah because he teaches them step in take the charge hey larson became their pt pier then that moment he'd be a big man on campus [Applause] adam flagler fumbles it out of bounds for baylor but chris beard he's got a culture it has been built in lubbock there is a buy-in dick among players student managers coaches the video crew and you know there there's a lot of loyalty to that coach i think among these players and that staff probably inspect them when you get respect you can be tough firm and a disciplinarian but he's really got great respect from the players he saw it yesterday with uh coach underwood same thing at a huddle in front of looking at gene katy and bobby knight he's intensely in his emotion [Applause] [Music] meyer pulls up that's an air ball he's been playing well there bob but he's been really playing well all year for that tv with a size advantage on flagler when these bail is so good they play efficiently on both sides of the ball the three shot over the top [Music] [Applause] the superstar got stripped right there he's had a great great premium [Applause] too much dribbling everybody's standing around watching them everybody's like kodak man they're taking pictures they're taking pictures they're watching them and he's bouncing them all it was an early 13-point lead for baylor that's the second foul on butler this game becomes a little more interesting now it looks like baylor might run away and hide and blow out texas tech texas tech with the ball down by eight strong drive by shannon mccullar knocks it out of bounds i think no they'll say they're going to say it will stay with texas tech but with two fouls now scott drew puts jared butler on the bench and texas tech has the ball dick down by only eight hey well think about this last night seat in the hall right they were up 83 touchdowns three touchdowns start the game 18 zip on st john's unbelievable st john's get back for once again tyler edwards hits a three and ten right back in the game they've cut a 13-point lead down to five you know bobby edwards and shannon to put points on the board for the defense as a team they could beat anybody on a given night with a little slide where those two guys weren't scoring they seemed to get their back down get the mojo back t hits another three he already has three triples you know i'll take the aircraft over any back foot in the country if you throw t mitchell and you throw it off so a flagler coming off the bench the guy by the name of butler are you kidding me that force him to me is the best force up in the nation strong drive by mcculloch little isolation mcculligan one-on-one maneuver on the left side first strong a little bit too much dribbling normally you see the ball move a little bit more that's why they're right [Applause] [Music] ends up missing everything and going out of bounds you know today loyola winning that my old chicago reporter moses has done a great job they went to the ncaa tournament several years ago remember sister gene she's now 101 years of age you're talking about a great story a love for the ramblers especially right now they're going to be back in the big dance a clung tied up by davion mitchell mclonk he was fouled as he got knocked to the deck but the officials called that contact incidental and then davion mitchell tied up the basketball doesn't think it was incidental i'll tell you that he doesn't believe it was incidental none whatsoever worked for years on the bob knight now bob knight did a heck of a job with this program look at the number of times he took him to the ncaa tournament that's not easy not easy at all [Applause] seemed to be some confusion at the scorers table as to who had the arrow it belonged to texas tech so they still have 15 on the shot clock eight a to shoot nba range and another rebound provided you know you're making them a good execution big spacing you look at the club they have good spacing and moving more fatigue in the mid-range santos silva paddling for the loose ball with flo thamba it looks like bamba will be called for a baylor foul paul on the wooden award national ballot that is the top 15 as that runner comes up short for tj shannon you remember remember when you and i had the game with godzilla and timmy came in the game he came in and he started to play it's to me time look at him he's going to be a star timmy's going to be a star and man you can see it do you remember that robert the vbdi was in rare form that night there's no question the vital fall dome index called drew timmy two years ago i think that was and here he is on the wooden award top 15 as mccullar misses from the corner vital tried to take it to the basket there was contact and it looks like tj shannon will be called for the phallus that was kyler edwards that took the bump you know i think somebody should go after the final that's a tight end i really don't i think somebody in the nfl should give him a shot at training he's not going to get that kind of chance in the nba and you think about the guys that played basketball over the years tony gonzalez you think about gates down here he's a tremendous football player some tight end he's been several guys and i think that he right now the scouts i'm giving you scouts a tip man football go out there and look at him [Applause] rico gathers he did that he was a tight end looking basketball player for baylor and a couple years ago he ended up with the cowboys so it's not like not only had that has that precedent not been set many times over that precedent was reinforced by a player who played basketball for baylor and ended up with an opportunity to play in the nfl i just know you're so so well prepared for any situation you've got all those notes man that head of us comes out with all kinds of facts well you're not the only bpdi on this crew i guess taylor turns it over [Applause] chip week rolls on later on more women's title game over on espn2 the pac-12 championship game between ucla and stanford comes your way at eight eastern five pacific you can always watch it live on the espn app from anywhere as well talk about drama in the pac-12 what an unbelievable dramatic moment usc and ucla a three-point shot usc wins at the end and they've got to hope today the royalty gets beat by oregon state if oregon wins they win outright the pac-12 championship [Applause] kicks it back up top to edwards for three the back top kept alive by evie the freshman right here [Applause] shots he starts making shots that elevates them as a team big time then back in this game as we saw had the bad start in the game without 10-1 [Applause] baylor at one point led 16-3 a 13-point lead right out of the gate there's butler coming back in with two fouls reinserted in the game by scott true and he hits a three well who's the player of the year in a big 12. is it butler is it kate cunningham who's the player to you it's original i i would vote for butler but if you voted for kate cunningham who could argue there's another three for connor edwards colorado's field so what about me what about me i'm the mvp right now this afternoon can't go wrong with butler or cunningham but you know what i'm going to go with bubba's playing with a really good cast a tremendous cast i'm not saying the kids aren't good you know i guess i'm a little bit uh biased because we had that great performance you look at edwards by kate cunningham when he put the 40 on the board to meet oklahoma and that stays in my mind so based on that i would give the edge to mr cunningham they're both all americans doesn't matter and they're both gonna make some good dollars mine just empties out so a chance with a three-point shot potentially for texas tech to tie the game after being down by 13 blitzed early by baylor but just a mentally tough group that chris beard has and they are right back in it as mccullar feeds one underneath he has pass evie with a shot fake back to mccullar for three back tap saved by peavey good play right there keep the ball alive evie pulls up that's a little too strong it looks like a foul will be called on the floor on chamochua [Applause] 19 and really slowed them down a little bit look at this right here there's the contact knocking down you know the tempo of the game while we haven't mentioned the tempo of the game is really the way that texas tech would like this game to be played they get the tempo down their way [Music] [Applause] harassed by davion mitchell out near midcourt and hands it off to shannon eight to shoot next year's number one heck of a special play in this last year and david mitchell says are you kidding me are you serious come on now come on now that's all that's happened when those kind of shots go down [Applause] and mitchell answer yes he can davinci said that's the way you do mitchell what a year he's had [Applause] he might get some folks from playing [Applause] i've seen him down here several times all night long baby you're coming with me someday to fish that's going to happen hey lou is in the house there we go he's in the house celebrities he was six years old now he just made a sword made of one of frank sinatra's old big hits there's nobody like francis albert sinatra saw him three times walked out it was like unbelievable when he walked on the stage talking about a guy that had charisma [Music] and it's been a quiet start for mcclung as well one of four from the field three points [Applause] meyer for three that's a offensive rebound have a chance for a three-point play and that's a typical play by the lord who's career hustle hustle strap on the glass defend he's the tremendous defensive player he does all the things this is what a winner does man those kind of guys help you get through the winter surf but we saw a couple of those guys yesterday from illinois are you talking about granderson you're talking about williams son of frankie williams is one of my favorites big-time squirt illinois hey what about a tip of the hat i gotta give the tip of the hat the pat kelsey not a winthrop okay tip of the handful he's gonna lost one game this year they're going dancing baby they won their tournament today they're going dancing [Applause] up front edwards does it again tyler edwards stays red hot never expecting that from him all year long because ah he was terrific in the running around for the final game and he got beat by virginia and all the time i think he had double figures in that game i don't know like 14 15. [Applause] number three in america he takes that ball to the goal he said come on man i can play too let's get some lubbock and play red raiders well if you want credentials for big 12 player of the year jared butler is number three in scoring number two in assists number three in field goal percentage number one and three-point percentage and number one in steals i change i'm going for butler now wow i didn't know where i was now first are you kidding me so that's why you got to be patient before you submit your balance you gotta be patient i'm sorry kade i picture as a first team all-american but i can't pick you off of butler now as player of the year i just can't do it robert yeah he creates me very rare that i'm able to change the vbdi like make it to a 180 mid game but i did i just changed it you did absolutely santos silva trying to seal inside the foul called on vital and by the way before we went to break earlier i thought that vital had picked up his second foul they actually called the foul on matthew meyer so that is the second foul on mark vital and we'll see if he stays in the game with 2 18 to go in the half looks like he will if i would like to do right here this they're just a great great guy andy hoffman his son jack was the kid from nebraska when he brought him out of the hospital jack had uh cancer and the football team brought him out they put him in a red white game and he ran for a touchdown into became but he was a big hit we had about a gala he had his data right gala and his dad was jogged and collapsed and he'd been battling some brain cancer himself and lost his life so i want to set my sympathies out for the hoffman family just a great family beautiful people now all our sympathies will go to a family that obviously has dealt with more tragedy than any family should ever have to deal with [Applause] and he couldn't do enough to raise money to help other kids get me involved with him a couple of times and i'll tell you i love people like that just they're fighting adversity tough times with his son yet he wants to help others that's the one thing i've noticed the common denominator in raising dollars for kids metal in cancer and so many that are affected with it can't do enough to want to help others [Applause] they're playing with a little swagger with the left hand they played a little swag with the texas tech they really right now they're not intimidated at all by the record of butler they're down here battling manas mclaughlin he's one tough kick i love his toughness taylor led this game right out of the gate 16-3 and that is the mental toughness of this texas tech team under chris beard as they just stayed with their game plan and have worked their way right back into it and mcclung is able to draw the charge on daveon mitchell who wasn't charged right there and i'll tell you this robin i'm going to admit it i have to admit this when it was 16-3 i was basically going to we're going to get the fuller material we got to get all the filler material now forget about it we got a game game is on big time and as you said nikki b this big game being played right now in the low 30s with a minute to go on the half that is a texas tech kind of score this doesn't look like it's going to get up in the 80s anytime soon as it looks like now a foul will be called on the floor but both teams are over the limit so that will put kevin mccullar at the free-throw line to try and give texas tech the lead but he wanted to score on the drive for the goal but he got fouled prior to releasing the shot he was quite in their last game mccullough very physical tough hard-nosed guy had some injuries early in the year [Applause] he had a high ankle sprain and he suffered in practice just before the season began and missed the first nine games of the year but since he has come back texas tech has been a different team as they lost a couple of games without him to start off the season you know you've got a chance to win when you hold people down 12 teams below 60 this year you get a chance and when you look certainly you think about transfers in this you look at texas tech mcclung santos silva burton who's not playing i mean these guys are transferred nobody had the final four team they have moody and owens uh they were transfers and last year holyfield park so he's dealing if if a kid wants to transfer it he can play uh miss beard it's open to giving him an opportunity we're going to see chaos next year in basketball when they have transfers we are allowed to transfer without sitting at the year it's going to be a spin move by butler how sweet was that big 12 their first conference championship since 1950 they won that on tuesday night and a thrilling overtime win in morgantown against west virginia maybe west virginia west virginia was playing great basketball and 7 out of eight only lost was the one point lost to oklahoma then they got me yesterday without cutting that surprise hey what about that obama tipping ahead to mr drew's let they think about his brother bryce he wanted the first for grand canyon black championship regular season bryce drew one year at espn after getting let go by vanderbilt and he threw a viking coach he's got to be able to meet a situation where i got a chance to really get players and win and he did a great job this year davion mitchell misses that floater at the buzzer production behind the arc and probably some more from mac mcclung in the second half if they want to pull off this upset mcclung five points he had one made three in the first half two of five from the field butler floats one up in out right back in again to start the second half prevailing you know butler in that first match up against them he was silent for like about 34 minutes in the last i mean part of the game he took the game over making one big play after another so they could escape with an eight-point win need to bounce that ball now watch this they're going to jump the double team and bath don't need that that has to allow the defense to come over now he's got to make two free throws instead of getting the duck maybe foul get three i'm fired up now bob i'm fired up and he's only a 56 free throw shooter and of course he knocks the first one down and basically puts it right in our face you know why i'm fired up i just saw my commercial a little while ago geico baby getting drained with people ask how many times to take that three takes three takes i think you're fired up because every time we see that commercial that's another dick fatale ding-a-ling ding [Applause] [Laughter] let's go we got a heck of a game going on right now butler nba range way short he shot that from lubbock [Applause] oh nice silva that time goes right to the bucket lays it in and we're tied nice two-man game right there drive the bounce pass put it on the time as clark kellogg would say click that baby use his left hand on reverse tremendous play right there and no unnecessary bounce it's like santos silva heard [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and mark vital will shoot two tyler edwards with the foul wow look at the long range jumper right there butler he wants to pass right now he's gonna drive that bounce pass great great pass great cut without the ball i love seeing that yard of basketball movement without the basketball not just running through the three-point line flying threes all over the place 45-50 game when i watch some of those nba games i don't know sometimes guys don't get angry the analyst watcher charles barkley and company mr van gundy and all that i don't get angry seeing nothing but threes and threes and threes now i know the analytics say you're better off taking threes percentage-wise but that's not the art of basketball i want to see cutting and screaming and driving [Applause] tough mark vital with his seventh rebound to go along with eight points here's butler in transition check that teague he knocks it down again man he makes shots i mean some of the nba's gonna like that guy because really there's nothing like guys that can make shots so many guys are good athletes runners jumpers they can't convert [Applause] evie in the mid-range that's good he's a very good player i think about some of the greats i watched during my 40 years at espn shooting reggie miller man as a reggie down at ucla think about chris mullen steve walford i mean those guys when they shot them all you thought it was going [Applause] for a moving screen watch right now here's the butler that's his buddy steps up at the three and we shoot 42 as a team that's unreal number one in the nation and they defend what a job he has done he's got drew in the mix big time for coaching here nationally and i got to give that edge to jamon howard because he took the team that was not ranked and taking them to where they are has been amazing and winner moves you know i i don't know how you feel about it i don't think they can lose a chance to be the number one seat but that's for sure yeah i think the big 12 is such a good league that whoever they play next week they're probably gonna win their first game because they're going to get a play-in game opponent in game number one but they're going to play a really good team even if they lose at the big 12 championship and i agree with you i don't think the committee penalizes you for losing to good teams i don't think michigan or i don't know you're going to lose their number one seeds and not at the baylor right here gonzaga they're not gonna lose it uh illinois i don't think illinois will lose it either i i really don't i i think because whoever they play when you talk about the big ten i mean come on everybody in there lead complete medic earlier today on behalf of baylor said that they could lose today and even lose their first round game in the big 12 championship and according to joey brackets baylor will be a one seed regardless of any results from here on out and if joey bracket says it dr l says it i believe it i listen when he speaks i listen how about that old school up and under scoop by macy eot he is red hot today he's got 15 on five of eight shooting rt mitchell butler what a threesome i said listen he speaks cause i'm not too good of a listening i [Applause] [Applause] they're executing playing really well they're going to toe nose to nose with bailey [Applause] i mean if they win here today bill everybody go to number two oh they have to bounce past and think about it when the season started who was number one in number two it was gonzaga and bill and it's been that way basically all year except that one little blip and they had that little blip because i'm gonna blame it on colby coleman really hurt that big time when you come back from that you could have seen in a game against iowa state where they struggled big time the rhythm of the timing it really affects the players it takes a while to get back in the flow and i think for 18 of those days they couldn't even practice and they looked terrible when they came back even in a win at home against iowa state and then the loss to kansas but boy did they come back in that overtime game in morgantown on tuesday there's a wing jumper that won't go and the 50-50 ball is won by hillary brother tyree smith trying to throw it in the front court and we'll step aside for just a moment coaching for me it's an easy choice juwan howard the amazing job he has done with the wolverines i mean they're gonna be in the fight today for some reason i just think michigan state's gonna play them really tough but he's my national coach of the year he's been a brilliant leader for a program that was not rated very high when the season started and then my player of the year again i think is easy stayed in the big ten goal for mr garcia by the way i was announcing at the end of the season yeah retirement number 55 no one will ever wear that number again in iowa basketball this year [Applause] they might retire 31 at butler or at baylor rather if macey otieg keeps this up as mcclung he can't hit the step back teague's last three makes him five of six from three-point land he's got 18 points to lead all scorers and baylor's got the five-point lead so 31 is as hot as could be yeah i'm not surprised at all not at all take a look at t right here with 18 rest of the team 29 5'3 my guy mr the shoes in the multi-talented bob it's vital the tip follow final tries again and he's got an offensive rebound out to mitchell he hits a three well you know mitchell now can shoot the three right you know that right but that really is incredible vital made that happen you were right to clap [Applause] [Music] [Applause] for it [Applause] shots every time i watch him play it seems every shot he gets is a tough shot i think people play him so tough i have so much respect for his game hotler hand checked by mcclung so that's mcclung's third [Applause] already with 10 rebounds to go along with eight points on senior day mark bottle playing one of those mark vital kind of games the fourth time this season he's hit double figures in rebounds and add on the fact that baylor is eight for 12 shooting the three well that's there you know it's looking right over here to rebounds 10 keeps balls alive gets the 50 50 ball played by santos silva to take it away from acot you know it was one of my blue guys years ago you're not gonna believe this one of my new guys somebody reminded me of this one of my blue guys he was an unbelievable blue guy he packed the win really really bad plays tough defense played on a great team bringing their team underwatch two games and beating 86 in the national championship game i'm talking about duke i thought about d mr j bellis phyllis was a glue guy man he was tough hard knows wow he got my blast [Applause] no you're right i'm 20. i just sound older [Applause] on the deck forces one in the front court butler's got it well the recruiting question that was a great class alcohol and tyler edwards being held back by clarence nadolny as edwards nadoli wanted to make sure edwards didn't say the magic words yeah baylor's lead now up to eight you don't need a technical foul out of frustration you don't want to t here now now they stay away stay away from the strike shirt good good play right there good play by nintoni jumping in they called the foul on mccullar that's his third [Applause] [Applause] this of course the first time since they have won a conference title since 1950 71 years so baylor is making history and we have witnessed a lot of it this season baba shoes and dick facto and the bears with an 11 point lead as we approach the midway point of the second half [Music] player final has been so big it's been vital that's it that's good and having to force one up as mccullar offensive rebound pv after they beat the timer and pv is able to paint one in mark see the patient's right there he's big deploys and he got points meyer will go to the free-throw line that we've navigated our way through in college basketball should be a different kind of selection sunday i really do i it's not apples to apples when you're comparing teams i just know that the kidneys are going to look at all the numbers all the facts and analyzing the value even though they're going to do a great job and you know let me always guys scream and yell at this once you get in i know i've been famous for that hooked up i think i'm going to be a little light on this i really am i think the committee whatever they do at least we're going to have basketball and that's really a key we're going to have some basketball of these quality teams obviously in here i'm only hoping that two teams that i really would love to see in the dance for [Music] [Applause] i think those two teams really belong in the dance and she recognized and greatness will you come back with your argument yes and i understand you argue about who do they play well the bottom line is your place and some teams lose and lose consistently if they're in a conference but get some good wings because they get so many opportunities it's like dice man you keep rolling to get some wins i mean that's just the way of life so big opportunity after an opportunity that's my only statement and i'm going to be very kind to the committee and very nice because this has been one crazy crazy wacky year we're dealing with this pandemic and the pauses the teams have had you take a look we talked here about the 17 day pause we think about michigan and their big paws michigan state what about cleona 51 days they went without playing a game good practice role is jazz just incredible good three right there but up it's ten now well you talk about recognizing greatness we're seeing greatness with the game that macey otieg is playing he is seven of eight from three-point land as shannon gets a steal that's blocked from behind by mitchell but it is followed up and texas tech not going away down by eight as chabuzzo agbo got the loose change midway through the second half we've still got a game and now a timeout called by scott drew somebody told me that he's gonna be a real good player the number three team in america he's never played in an ncaa tournament he sat out for a year after transferring from unc asheville where he played his first two seasons so last year was his first year at baylor and of course we had no ncaa tournament last year so here he is again for three i mean he shot that one down from lubbock he says would love it i wasn't awake [Applause] [Music] to play at arizona state but i didn't harden wow the left-hander but what he's doing with the nets he's amazing it is amazing where did he get all three tom muchacho denied at the rim here comes mac mcclung texas tech has this at single digits in spite of the fact that of 17 shooting the three leads in shooting he's got a chance for a three-point play [Applause] in here and they're doing it without mcclung scoring it off keller has shut him down big time was it driving to go did it go was the contact [Applause] james he gave up a lot and that's together but man it's been worth it matthew meyer picked up that last foul that's his fourth so meyer has four for baylor mccullar has four for texas tech and pb does not get the roll and then a cheap foul called on santos silva it's amazing they're down seven and the team is down 11 for 17 against them shooting the first i mean that's just amazing you think about i was 33 points eleven threes even my mathematical mind can figure that out santos silva takes a seat as chris beard's not happy with his second [Applause] least being played a foul more because earlier in the year he was getting foul trouble on a regular basis [Applause] coach butler looking cross court and mcclung intercepted the pass intended for team [Applause] mac mcclung leans in it's off the rim and another foul call this one on michael peeby as he ended up throwing davey on mitchell down you saw the opportunity right there about mclennan to get another example not an easy opportunity to be a challenge like big time everywhere he goes on the floor that's the third on pb i think 12 now on espn plus a must-have for big 12 fans tomorrow the lady bears host west virginia at eight eastern seven central plus the red raider baseball team will take on gonzaga tuesday at 7 30 eastern and the big 12 women's basketball tournament starts on thursday if you're a big 12 fan you gotta have it sign up today at espn plus dot com slash big 12 now i'm gonna give you edge to texas tech and baseball they've got a great program there for years butler lobster very close you're getting there that's a fade away and nicely done and as it's knocked down again by kyler edwards that's his first basket in the second half he hit 13 in the first half to lead texas tech he's been quiet but that makes it a seven point game some defensive stops here davion mitchell another three for failure that's their twelve twelve threes you can see people why they leave the nation and shooting at three they spot up good execution they know where people are and they make sure the ball goes in the hands the guys capable of making the thrill that's the key put the ball in the hands of the right people i want to see the club get a wide open shot one time never does davion mitchell with the rebound off the edwards miss another three on the way that one off the mark from flagler becomes contagious really he's been lately not shooting as well as he did but he had a stretch where he was playing really great oh what a great pass to the inside shannon fonsento silva and he tips in his own miss good second effort by santos silver they don't go away though they keep battling and battling battling the red raiders and certainly the personality of their coach [Applause] people [Applause] [Applause] what a great career he's had avion mitchell at the elbow that rolls around and falls through everything he throws up for us here well you know i usually screaming all about teams three four games under 500. i'm a good exception there for michigan state i really will because number one you beat illinois and you beat ohio state to the time they were number four number five in the country come on and by the last three games in a row they just came back they just came back from coleman night 19 and just really a problem where they were laid up 17 days they had to go on a road and play three games against the likes of you know teams like rutgers on the road i think it was iowa and i think also wisconsin might have been part of that 003. then they've got the rhythm as they're going for playing good basketball so i really have no problem with michigan state if they're in the big dance i really don't i think there's an exception here because the attack is what they face and they have proven you could beat the likes of illinois and you beat the likes of ohio state you can play and the bottom line is it's not over today they were up two uh here in the second half and their challenge in michigan right now i know much good loss to eli brooks uh to an ankle injury that'll be something to be really watching because he's a valuable player you can't lose key players now bob can't lose keep players in your rotation now and not be hurt so i feel so bad for the kids at drake here trump scorer we're looking at about top scorer and rebounding the kid temple he's been out for the last three four weeks and he's supposed to be coming back now in the postseason a foot surgery i mean that's a major loss avery benson comes in for the first time as chris beard dips down the bench with some important players in foul trouble kevin mccullar of course gonna have to go possession by possession he's got four fouls and now traveling is called it is a turnover for baylor and texas tech has a chance with mccullar coming right back in with the four fouls to try to get this to single digits with five and a half minutes to go well edwards created a turnover there he could have possibly a charge as well but he created a turnover to work in violation with the defenses of what he did defensively rotating over the story of this game has been baylor from three eight made threes for macy otieg alone eight for nine from three-point left well teams like to make eight never mind one guy many factors certainly the other players mitchell butler they've had a big day shooting three mcclung can't connect from the corner and that's why he's got an open look finally rebound for mike for mark vital he's having a great game on senior night as we sort of hustle plays i mean there's hustle plays today that led to three three great opportunities for the team and they scored just unbelievable good spacing right here they're well coached man they're well coached bruising to the goal in easy two for jared butler that was too easy nobody rotated over nobody comes driving angle it's out of bounds off mccullough for the 36th year chenkweed continues on the networks of espn tomorrow it's the west coast conference semifinals st mary's gonzaga at 9 eastern on espn and over on espn2 game number two pepperdine squares off against byu at midnight eastern you can watch these games live as always on the espn app from anywhere they ask you bob are we gonna see for the first time since 1976 when the shy introverted robert montgomery knight guided his team to an unbeaten season winning the championship going up beaten in the big ten are we going to see that out of mr feud and gonzaga well they win the national championship they'll be undefeated because i don't see them losing either of these two games in the west coast conference tournament right they're gonna they're gonna be prohibitive favorites to win that league and if they come undefeated out of that league that's it they've got to make a run in the ncaa tournament and win a national championship as an undefeated team he's done a great job man they got two all-americans there and subs and kisper i mean you got to talk about those two guys have just been tremendous timmy on the inside great road players as well as well coach they proved early in the year they went out and played some quality teams and did exceptionally well you know baylor played a little lawyer earlier in the season and had a big win over the fighting alignment kansas illinois texas tech oklahoma oklahoma state those are probably their best best wins of the year well anytime you win a game in the big 12 there's a pretty good chance you're beating a ranked team now baylor this season is six and one against ranked opponents here they leave a wide open three-point look and it's a 12-point game with four and a half minutes to go as kyler edwards with his fourth trip t tries again he went down he has now tied the record in a big 12 conference game nine made threes along with laysdarius done at kansas state makai mason [Applause] the tip follow avery benson they'll call that let's get interference but nine made threes for macy's wow are you kidding me are you kidding me hey by the way michigan state was up seven with about 12 minutes to go out michigan could be up to the city michigan state time isn't going to pull the knockout [Applause] one of the greatest i've seen in my 42 years in terms of a shooting exhibition now i don't think i've ever seen reggie and mullen and over do this in a game situation 10 for 11 against a team that defends fairly well look at that struggle the follow-through young people you see the rotation i mean man is he shooting the rock is he shooting the rock he's the nbn man today nothing but nylon out of mr t wow add up his ears at unc asheville he's gone over 1800 career points today and he's up to 271 made threes in his college career [Applause] and mccullar on the reverse lays it in but just too much from three-point land for baylor today for any team to handle he's got a double double on senior day missed the final today oh he's been an important has guy he has scrapped he has clawed he's got pride for that uniform you know it's a real sad thing real sad thing i think he's got this place really well they played fairly well but the shooting just took him unbelievable right there's a little breakdown to get back defensively most of this game there really been right there head to head nose to nose but the shooting is divided look at the three-point shotgun it just changes the whole complexion of the game changes it quickly i'm saying earlier about michigan state they're trying to go to knockout watch the same we don't want the committee we don't want the committee to decide whether we could enter now today we're here maybe michigan it's lock city you know what they're right muhammad ali man knocking the committee out bam left right left right knocking him down that's what this is doing he's making like mohammed [Applause] i don't care what that record says even the vpdi says they belong in forget that theory and theme you got to be 500 by better you're making 34 for macyot because champ week rolls on later with one more women's title game oh we do mr vital and we do mr t now there's one player of the game it's our phillips 66 player of the game not players of the game do you want to take a guy that's got ten made threes and give it to someone else no no no he deserves that too but i didn't fight over there's one two a little back door back door again flagler commits the foul i'll get right on my vbc looks like they're in a good mindset going to the big 12 tournament yeah we talked to scott drew last week after they had that home win after the pause against iowa state where he said even in a win we look worse in that game than we did in our loss to kansas and a couple of games after the 21 day layoff baylor looked terrible nothing like what they normally appear to be and then they flip the switch got over 90 points in the overtime win tuesday against west virginia and since then and through today i think it's safe to say baler is back there 22 from three-point land today they came back and beat oklahoma state as well oklahoma state was playing really great basketball they beat him by 11 points you're gonna like this guy you can't help the like scott drew comes from a great family his dad homer did a great job and he was coaching he's a cancer survivor and i'm really so proud of fact this year at o'galland scott's gonna be introducing me that's uh he called yesterday and he's gonna be down here and he's gonna introduce me at the gala and he's just a great great gonna honor him the following year following here we've got keyshawn johnson football star we've got chris everett with superstar we got scott drew and we got ron gilmore he's gonna be recipient talk about courage espn football guy creates so much courage battling cancer he's gonna be the recipient of john saunders college in the world that's great and you're introducing me by the way at the big party at my house the day after together i'll be honored how many people introduce you i'm on a list of like seven that weekend right that introduce you no notice the two the gallon at the house [Applause] here comes mark patterson a walk-on getting an opportunity to get in the game on senior day finals got another rebound 15 rebounds to go along with 10 points he keeps making notes that one a little too soon from acot [Applause] this game is over locked up [Applause] and now a chance at the free-throw line for mark patterson to walk on to find his way into the box [Applause] it's great to see him get an opportunity to score when he gets older you're gonna tell his family you're not to believe it but a minute 50 on the clock we played texas to a big game um again this other guy was on the call i don't know who he is his final game at the farrell center 10 points and 15 rebounds of all kinds of hustle nice hugs from chris beard great sportsmanship being shown [Applause] it's been a lot of work bob the last few days three games and four days that's a real test so you don't understand it you're not 81 years old that's a test like your mindset preparation you get that memory that's a lot of work the time for macyot he gets a lot of hugs he deserves that man was he [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] there's a three avery is able to knock one down but this is all baylor coming up on 90 seconds to go and now you can see a couple of the other walk-ons and bench players are now going to be put in by scott drew and we've got a couple of more curtain calls looks like jared butler and davion mitchell are going to come out [Applause] a wreck [Applause] and the possession arrow will keep it with baylor [Applause] you think about the tempo of the game we talked about it the temple got away from uh texas tech they had to play the game in the 60s they can't beat this club getting in the 80s [Applause] and lost it well this baylor team heads into now the big 12 championship this coming week and headed towards selection sunday they have certainly now proven they have completely shaken off any rust from the covet paws because they are looking very much like a one seat i'm gonna throw one from dixie dick's not gonna be any easy opponent for anything either people to get him in that early rounds he can have to come to play to beat this team oh nice pass dolby a pocket pass and it'll be a chance for agbo at the free throw line for a three-point play nice little look to him really smith gets the score up what a nice little bounce pass you know watching the game today is tim siegel former tennis coach at texas tech just sent me a text he said i want you to give my son luke can i introduce you to luke you met him remember that time bob yep real challenge dumpster was a major major accident um injury to the major maximum [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there's two really outstanding coaches respect for each other and dallas can be heard from the tournament for the first time since 1940.
