The second half begins to thunderous applause. Let the fur fly...from tigers and bears, that is,
....
They have ice cream in the media room, this is awesome.
....
Missouri's defense has really showed up here in the beginning of the second half, keeping even great Baylor scorers like Curtis Jerrells and LaceDarius Dunn from making a basket, much less a rebound.
We've hit the sixteen-and-a-half minute mark, the Tigers lead it 46-35.
....
It'a hard to enjoy an orange Dreamsickle when you're typing one-handed like a madman.
....
This is the joke on my ice cream stick. What do you find in the middle of nowhere?
The letter H.
Lame. I can't believe I ate my way to a joke like that.
....
There's only fifteen minutes left in the game, and Mizzou is stedily making it worse for Cinderella, leading Baylor by eleven points, 48-37.
But a three-pointer made by LaceDarius Dunn re-ignites the fire in the Baylor Bears.
Not sure if I hear a fat lady singing or not.
....
11-and-a-half minutes left, and rhe Bears are clawing back, but aren't quite there yet. Mizzou still leads them 51-46. The Bears must learn the secret to guarding the Tigers better if they hope to complete this Cinderella staory.
The Tigers, it appears, have heard enough talk about destiny and are ready to show who is the best in the Big 12.
....
10 minutes are left and the Bears still trail the Tigers by six, 52-46. Things are looking great for the Tigers and not so great for the Bears. But there's still plenty of basketball left to be played. Now we'll see if the Bears will fold under the pressure or come out to shine.
....
Baylor's shooting has been off ever since they arrived back on the court for the second half. Could the pressure from Mizzou's defense be the case? Or are they starting to lose their upset bug? Who knows, but there's only eight minutes left and they trail the Tigers by 11 again.
If the Tigers keep this up, they could very well be looking at a 2009 championship, unless the Bears have some bite in them yet.
....
M-I-Z!!!! Z-O-U!!!! The cry from the Tiger faithful goes up again during a timeout on the floor with 6;45 left in the championship game. The Tigers are still holding a formidable lead, 61-48.
....
A few free-throws and key rebounds and one three-pointer could spell a possible comeback for the Bears, at least according to the Baylor band, who has started another round of "The Imperial March".
....
Under five minutes left, and the Tigers aren't letting up. Missouri: 65, Baylor: 54.
....
LaceDarius Dunn of Baylor went down hard after a failed jump-shot, but has gotten up just fine. No injury scares yet for the Bears, and the Tigers all look healthy as...well...Tigers.
....
The Mizzou strikes up with "Eye of the Tiger", which they certainly have shown in this half, still leading by 11 with three-and-a-half minutes left, 67-56.
....
One minute left, and the score reads Missouri: 70, Baylor: 58. It seems the clock has fiinally struck midnight on this Cinderella Story, as the M-I-Z, Z-O-U chant fills the center again, the Tiger fans whooping in delight at what they have accomplished throughout the season.
