It's amazing how how things change when we have a 7'0 shot blocker in the middle of our zone. FGCU looks very timid and hasn't even looked to challenge Acuil. Guards are also very active up top, solid D so far.

8-6 Baylor Freeman w/ 2 buckets, Lecomte w/ a layup & Acuil w/ a nice midrange hook

Great start offensively- we are getting good looks every time down the floor.

Crowd is a little sleepy thus far.

Seriously, how did we watch TV in the 'old days'. I'm getting a headache but at least it's on TV.

Maston & Acuil w/ 2 nice jumpers to extend our lead.


Lecomte, Lindsey Mitchell Maston & Motley

17-13. FGCU hitting from 3 but our zone looks better tonight.

I can't even watch this game on my phone. Can somebody send me a telegram with the score? Geez.
riflebear

8 min into the game BU already has 6 players who have scored.

Bears go man after FGCU gets hot from 3 and Mitchell immediately gets a steal and a dunk on the fast break

21-16

We should probably consider covering Terrell. Maston too slow on the rotation.

21-19 bears

Another 3 for fgcu 24-24

Motley needs a killer instinct underneath. He's slow to respond when he gets the ball inside. Be aggressive w/ a power dribble and take it up quick.

Lecomte is an immediate spark. 29-24 bears
