Anyone else do yard work during halftimes ? Or is that just me

Arkansas struggled with GW for the first 17 minutes of the 1st half, letting them hang around, then charged to a 48-36 halftime lead. Didn't open it much wider than that as they won 86-68.

I did exterior caulking.

Did Grimes play in the 1st half? I don't remember seeing him, but could have just overlooked.
I don't think he did. Little played a couple of minutes.

The energy level of this team is bad. Why is that a theme lately with Baylor?
IowaBear

This is a lazy team at times. I'll reiterate 3 pt shooting is needed.

THOSE DAMN LITTLE DRIBBLERS CURSED BAYLOR!
BE SURE TO ASK FOR THE BIGFOOT SPECIAL AT ANY BURGER JOINT! I'LL HANG UP AND LISTEN! DOUBLE B'S OUUUTT!

Defense optional again this year. Keep letting GW hang around. They'll start believing they have a legit chance here
DanaDane

This is some U-G-L-Y three point shooting by both teams.


Surely probabilities will catch up in a few minutes and we'll start swishing some.

I haven't been able to watch the game, what's up with a 1-point deficit??

Please get him outta there. He hacked Yves. Should be 5.
IowaBear

Yeah at best. Bridges just complete no show. Can't have that

RayJ's missed a ton of shots at the rim today

Missi 9 points, 7 boards, 5 blocks.

This stretch from now until the under 8 is huge. Cannot keep letting them hang around. Extend this up north of 8 during this stretch

This Gardner-Webb team is scrappy. I wouldn't be surprised to see them do pretty well in the their league.

That doesn't excuse our sloppiness by any stretch, but I've been impressed with their poise.
DanaDane

Very impressive with the fundamentals they show when setting screens.

Yeah, we need to go on our run right here. Put this thing away.

Combined 1-17 from 3

Among the other shortcomings today, there's been some really poor boxing out on the defensive end that's led to giving up too many offense rebounds to a smaller less physical team.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Bears with 0 assist in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half and 5 TOs.
bear2be2

The defense has improved these last few possessions. Need to keep that up.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ok, Grimes entering the game now.
BellCountyBear

Bridges with more fouls than points. Sad.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We can't have Bridges no showing this year.

I really hoped he was gonna step it up big time and be a reasonably big offensive threat every game.
bear2be2

Love had a couple of bad defensive possessions in a row. That ended a stretch of about six or seven really good defensive possessions before that.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
He's looks like he did the first month last year. He almost looks lethargic

Noticed that as well. Still letting these guys hang around which is frustrating.

That's not his game unfortunately. He's an energy/garbage guy. And that's OK. He'll help us win a lot of games from that role.

We didn't do anything on the offensive end to capitalize on a really good defensive stretch. Frustrating indeed.
