bonner needs more minutes. effort alone has to put him in the rotation ahead of lohner.

He deserves a big game performance. Has paid his dues. Lohner in, fingers crossed.

Definitely goal tending. The ball hit the backboard first and by rule you can't touch it after that.


That's what I saw too

That. The bad call on the charge on JTT and 2 missed bunnies at end of half and this game might be 20 points.

Lohner shows up.

Bonner playing his role beautifully in this half. Exactly what we need from him. Timely steals, hustle plays, and knock down open shots and finish layups with clear driving lanes.

Great drive and dish by Dale.

And good catch and finish by Flo.

Our role players are showing up today.

Bonner earning a look in future games here if he can play within himself. Great play, best game of the year for him (yes better than 20 pt games against bad ooc teams).

Bonner really putting BU on his back today. This has got to be a huge confidence builder for him as we head towards March.

Bonner has been unbelievable today

Dale was feeling it a little too much on that pass. Haha.

He was looking for Lohner but didn't get it to him in a good spot.

Good thought, bad pass.
Quinton

Man if Bonner would have finished with a short runner or completed the short pass would have been perfect. He has an easy lane with the 3rd or 4th defender. Still been great

If he could have gotten it to Lohner, it would have been a dunk. There just wasn't a great lane for the pass.

Yes!!!!

#4 on DISU!!!

Lohner would have bobbled it but yes. Was too tight I think he should have looked to stop and finish a short shot. Still good to be pass first. Playing excellent ball

Disu and Rice, who have combined to score almost 70% of UT's points, both with 4 fouls each.

Been over a week since we took a lead in the 2nd.

I can see y'all insisting they get another Natty now.
