My initial tweet right after the game ended.
Opening it up again -- give me your twitter reactions from today's 76-70 win in Stillwater. 5 minutes.

And your responses. The more we do this, the more I'm getting. It's pretty remarkable. I'll actually start with my own:
I'm an idiot. RT @OurDailyBears Kenny Chery out = everything you have on OSU if you still can.
— OurDailyBears (@OurDailyBears) February 1, 2014
So there's that.
@YahooForde Baylor gonna Baylor? amirite @OurDailyBears @BaylorMBB @BaylorAthletics

Doesn't really qualify because it wasn't a response to my tweet, but it still works.

Same for this one. I'm guessing this person meant is positively.
@OurDailyBears Seriously never get as angry watching football as I do basketball.
— Peter Pope (@pbpope) February 1, 2014
This is true for me, as well. Part of that comes from not knowing the game to nearly the same extent, resulting in frustration out of ignorance. Dumb plays look dumber to me because I often don't know how close it was to not being dumb. I don't see the game the same way.

An excellent response.
@OurDailyBears Great job stopping the bleeding. Now we must win at home against Kansas to get back in the tourney hunt
— Brian Langford (@blangford95) February 1, 2014
About as level-headed and optimistic as any, I'd say.
@OurDailyBears Great 3 point shooting and better free throws good coaching and clutch play by @G4orceFranklin all around great team win 💚💛🐻🏀

Franklin was huge, especially down the stretch.

One thing people should know about me is that I enjoy good trash talk. Most sports could benefit from significantly more, in my opinion. So I enjoyed this.
@OurDailyBears I wish Forte III would have tried harder to foul Rico on his breakaway. He would be on life support from the assault.
— Jon Higginbotham (@jonhiggy) February 1, 2014
Phil Forte, III. ??? -- 2014.
@OurDailyBears more Heslip, more Gathers, and clutch Franklin = win. Jefferson more engaged at end after riding pine in middle of the game
— J.Mark (@JMarkl7) February 1, 2014
I feel like if I put in a "Should Rico start" poll, the results would be pretty overwhelming.

@OurDailyBears about damn time.
— Michelle Robbins (@betsy_michelle) February 1, 2014
@OurDailyBears Suddenly, basketball is not so dumb. Also, #KINGRICO.
— Amy Pagitt (@APBaylor247) February 1, 2014
If you want to crown him...
@OurDailyBears YIPPEE!
— Jane Harvill (@Jane_Harvill) February 1, 2014
@OurDailyBears Rico Gathers's dunk still has Stillwater shaking
— Robert Schmitz (@rschmitz28) February 1, 2014
Some blame fracking. Those that know blame Rico.
@pbpope @OurDailyBears I'm more up-and-down watching basketball. More into football though
— J.Mark (@JMarkl7) February 1, 2014
I, as well.
@OurDailyBears Season saving win. Our zone defense still scares me though. We were fortunate they didnt make more threes
— Evan Beck (@airbeck14) February 1, 2014
Our zone defense scares the ghost of Dr. Naismith.
@OurDailyBears I am no longer giving away my season tickets. Is it Tuesday yet?!
— Zack K (@zkmavz) February 1, 2014
@OurDailyBears about time. Lots of work left to do.

He tries to act so serious sometimes.
@OurDailyBears Might say that this loss "Smarts" for OSU

Trash talk and puns. These are two of my favorite things.

@OurDailyBears not only is @BaylorMBB back, but I am too, on Monday!
— Ted Harrison (@tedvid) February 1, 2014
ABOUT TIME.
@OurDailyBears my happiness is soaring like Rico Gathers!!! My doubts are scattering like Phil Forte. pic.twitter.com/47wXFAlSMs
— BaylorScout Tim (@TimWatkins04) February 1, 2014
Great finish, I think.
Wait, one more.
Is this the biggest road win in @BaylorMBB history? Short handed in one of the toughest environments against a top 10 team? @OurDailyBears
— Matt Rodgers (@TheMattRodgers) February 1, 2014
Thoughts?
