I missed the offensive foul on Missi. Anyone see what they called him for?

K state defense giving us fits.

Love does not need to be the primary ballhandler. What are we doing.
BearFan33

K state with flagrant moving screen. No call
Johnny Bear

So far blowing a golden opportunity to build a lead.
DanaDane

We do a lot of things well but for two years I'll never understand how we have so many friggin' guards and such poor ball movement.
BearFan33
How long do you want to ignore this user?
They extend their defense and it's causing us fits.
BearFan33

We need to pass into the middle and hit a slasher or pass out. There defense is extended out so far bucket should be open.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We have 6 more shots, 4 more offensive rebounds, but TOs and missed shots have kept us behind instead of up by 6 to 8.
IowaBear

We haven't shot well the entire B12 slate minus parts of BYU. Slump seems to be continuing so far.
DanaDane

Bears surprise full court press ultimately results in a TO for K State. Drew with one from the hat!

Grimes would have been subbed into this game early. Everyone not named Bridges coming up small tonight so far.

We usually give up a transition bucket. So nice to see it work

Did RayJ even touch the guy in that 3 point foul?
DanaDane

Walter 1-6 from the field, 0-3 from 3. He's gonna find his rhythm soon, I hope.
DanaDane

Miro Little in for Walter.
BearFan33

Gosh Walter fouled on steal
BearkatBear

lol RayJ was pissed his last layup got blocked, he tried putting that guy on a poster
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Bears shooting 32% from the field, 10% from 3.

Some credit to K State's D, but we've also missed several makeables.

Feels like we should be up 6-8 right now.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
RayJ can't buy a basket.


Walter and Dennis are a combined 1-13 from the field and 0-6 from 3.


Thankfully Bridges is scoring tonight.

Nice move by Josh and good minutes for Little
BearkatBear

only way we can get the ball in the paint is to feed the post. need to start doing that more

Little ironically has looked like the most poised ballhandler and passer we have tonight.
DanaDane

Little traveled because he was tripped. That should have been a foul.

Absolutely

Letting k state get away with a lot

Off to a terrible start but playing better defensively lately. Also better rebounding.
DanaDane

Good shot from the elbow for JaKobe! Hopefully that gets him started now.
DanaDane

How on EARTH did Missi do that turnaround move under the basket?????

That dude is SOOOOOOOO athletic!!!!!!
BearFan33
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We figured out that they are pulling their bigs out to play defense and attacking down low
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
And a foul!!!!!! Chance for a 3 point play.
historian

Missi is great for us!!

Finally called their moving screen.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?
