Inside Indiana Board

Acy picks up a flagrant one chopping down on Kenny Frease on a block attempt. He makes both then hits a layup on the ensuing possession. Big sequence for the Muskies.

Kenny Frease of Xavier putting the Musketeers on his back. Already 12 points. Baylor lead slimmed to five with 2:06 left in the first half. Score sits at 33-28 in favor of the Bears.

Baylor... maddening stuff. Could be up 50. Now struggling and up six

Agreed. So much athleticism on Baylor... its like a Lou Henson late 80s Illini team. Maddening at times.

ION: currently listening to this song (a break in between IU songs)
Russ Ballard's "Voices" - no real reason either.

Quincy Acy just got dirty on Kenny Frease. Feels like Baylor is in control again.

Still plenty of basketball left, but as Zach said, the Bears seem in control despite Frease's efforts. Just too athletic, and I can't see Xavier running with them for much longer. It's 44-37 with 14:47 left in the game.

Thanks Sean. I will try to be everywhere as long as my nerves and attention span can handle it.

Of course he would score as soon as I write that.

Well, scratch the question on Quincy Acy. Playing a man's game right now with a metric ton in dunk force to go with it. He has 16 points to go with 13 rebounds, and Baylor leads 60-50 with 4:14 to go in the game.

There's 2:19 left, and Baylor leads by 13. A Pierre Jackson 3-pointer just about sealed this one, barring a remarkable comeback by Xavier. Next up is the show you've been waiting for. Hop on the live chat or the other game thread when you're ready, folks.

Xavier catches a huge break on a missed out-of-bounds call, then Tu Holloway — an 86 percent free throw shooter — misses an freebie. Yikes.
