2010 St Mary's: 46-17 at half

Tonight: 45-20 at half
Wish they'd go back to look at the 3 the refs called a 2 from Mitchell
Really! That was egregious.


I thought it was a 2 in real time, but I haven't seen a replay.

Not a frequent poster... but have to check in from a local establishment in Buckhead, Atlanta tonight. Just want to say what a pleasure it is seeing this beat down by the Bears. Love the bench effort tonight. Cheers everyone!! Cherish the moment. And I think it was Grant Teaff who famously coined the phrase,"Finish the Job" when our Lady Bears won their first natty. Love Sic Em 365 and so proud tonight!

Didn't we come back from 21 against Louisville in a holiday tournament a few years ago? It can happen, but not if we keep playing like this.

We could absolutely demoralize them in the next 5-8 mins.

Did the stat that cbs showed say the lowest scoring half in tourney history was 21? That's hard to believe
That was Houston's lowest scoring half in the Tourney I believe, 1987 v Kansas.


Ah. That makes more sense.

Rubbing salt in the Coogs with the tribute to the CBS cameraman who died who filmed Valvano racing around the court looking for someone to hug after the 1983 Finals.

Probably, but dribble drive between 2 defenders still not a smart play for him.

JTT is hammered and then 32 for Houston shoves Vital out of the way for a rebound and no call on either...

Butler reaches in and they call it on Vital?

I'm guessing the no call on the mugging of JTT was a makeup for Thamba flattening the defender on a post up a few minutes earlier.

What is good is Houston is using a lot of their shot clock on possessions.
