Good help defense there by Josh. Good verticality.

Great pass by Nunn. Let's get more of that.

The theme for today's game is Salute the Heroes. Looks like what they wore Thursday against John Brown too. I'm assuming both for Veterans Day.
I guess Jean-Luc Picard was a hero.

Wrong colors gif Star Trek. Those were red or gold. Our coaches are wearing olive.
This is the Next Next Generation.

I know who Jean-Luc Picard is! They used similar colors. DS9 & Voyager too.

GW shooting 47% so far; Bears 41%

JaKobe is so friggin' smooth.

Looking somewhat sloppy of late

Brick party from 3 and FT line

We'll win this game comfortably, but Gardner-Webb wants it more right now.

I like this 4 guard lineup. trying to facilitate more O. shots just aren't falling

It was a joke.

Thank you, King. You are 100% correct.

This is a 10-12 loss team.

Gardner-Webb has played really well.

We've been sloppy, but they're hitting tough, contested shots. Credit to them.
IowaBear

Bingo.. I don't give a crap what nEt or anything says this defense is not good! Anyone with a set of working eyes can see that. Glad King called it out
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
GW shooting 54% from the field. It's not a coincidence.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
They're hitting lay ups…
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Que the excuses on here.

Some. But they've hit against good contests, too.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Most likely, but the schedules brutal. But make no mistake we should be up 15… this isn't a good GW team
DanaDane

We lulled through the first half against the NAIA bunch the other day. Drew got after them at halftime and we came out with some energy in the 2nd half. Looks like he's queued up to do that again today.
DanaDane

I really like Love coming off the bench.

That's been a trend in all three games this season.

But people need to realize this team isn't close to a finished product. We have three guys in our rotation who have played together at all. This is a work in progress and there will be growing pains.

The idea is to be playing to our potential by March.

MIssi is going to be a monster.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Love is a certified bucket. Wish Bridges wasn't so passive on the offensive end
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Missi is gonna have to play a lot of minutes this year when we hit the tough games in our schedule. It will be nice to have Jonathan and Josh O as someone who could help for a few minutes, but his ceiling this year alone is 2x either of them.
Mitch Henessey
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Silly tech by Missi, but he'll learn from it. He's been electric today.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Love the energy and assertiveness Love brings coming off the bench. He is obviously gonna be pivotal to this offense all year.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Drew is obviously also just testing all kinds of different mixtures of lineup. The intensity should get better as the rotation compresses. A clear difference in skillsets will continue to emerge over the next few weeks as we get closer to the start of conference.

Halftime entertainment is the Li'l Dribblers. They're a little rusty too.

Totally agree but after Arkansas and Baylor their schedule gets a bit easier

I thought so. I was playing along! It's all in fun

Missi and Walter lead with 9, Nunn with 8.

Bears shooting 48% from the field, GW 45%.

Bears with 5 assists/5 TOs

Bears 18-15 with rebounds

40-34 Bears at the half

Did Grimes play in the 1st half? I don't remember seeing him, but could have just overlooked.
