big game. Best 2 games in non conference (top 20 match-ups) since 2017 when the Bears had Oregon and Xavier. The crowd for the Arizona game was pitiful (understandably so)... All the more reason to come support the Bears tomorrow night.

I believe this is the first ever meeting between the two, which also means it's Drew's first time coaching against his alma mater.

Clark is not suited up

Good grief. They should just shut him down and apply for a medical redshirt.

Man it feels so good knowing you have a myriad of guys who can nail it from long range compared to years past when we had maybe 1 or 2 guys who could hit from deep.

What just happened there? Tie up?
DanaDane

Great ball movement on O so far.

Gotta defend the backdoor on D. Butler is a very disciplined team running precision cuts.

That was weird. Was it a foul? Goal tending? Clean block? I have no idea what happened and the announcing crew didn't either.
DanaDane

Scoreboard doesn't show any point change so maybe it was a tie up?
Johnny Bear

Is Clark ever going to be ready to go on any kind of a consistent basis this season?
DanaDane

Bears ball! Had to be a tie up.

That was it. Either that or inadvertent whistle.

I'm starting to think we're only gonna get sporadic play out of Clark on the men's team and Cox on the women's.

May as well shut him down until conference. Probably too lated to get a redshirt.
