Really really poor ball right. Zero movement offensively just passing around the perimeter and throwing up bricks.
DanaDane

NSU shooting 53% from the field. Bears shooting 39%.

Zach, please transfer next year to a school you can play a lot of minutes and free up a scholarship at Baylor.

Cryer can't buy a shot in the 1st half. Now 1 of 7.

Lack of a true PG is gonna burn us a time or two this year.

Shooting too many 3's get the ball into the paint. We're letting Norfolk St stay in the game because we're passing around the perimeter. Get the ball inside and break down their defense

Kinda gross. But this is a team
Where if the shots don't fall it could look gross. Now we get to see why coach Drew is one of the best coaches in the country. I bet you see some nice adjustments.

Pathetic last possession by MSU. Not impressed 1 but by the Zags
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, what in the world? They looked lost and nervous, almost afraid to shoot. I didn't think he was even gonna get a shot off before the buzzer.

#1 UNC comes back to win by double digits against Charleston.

Temple upsets #16 Villanova.
DanaDane

I would really like to see Bridges drive more when he has the ball.
Big_Pumpin
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Well maybe no adjustments. Just keep shooting till they fall!

Ok, let me state the obvious that I will probably be saying a zillion times this Winter:


It is FUN watching Keyonte George play basketball.

Flagler and George are an incredible combined 9-14 from 3.

LJ is 1-8 so he is due soon.

If I start drinking every time someone bounces a pass at Flo's knees and it results in a turnover, I'd be drunk every game.

Bridges now 7-7 from the free throw line and has 14 points total.

Nunnely just said (regarding JTT): "I hear he's a little ahead of schedule, but I don't really know that means."
