Was hoping to see the Bears work JTT into the offensive flow, but not so far.

I think Drew is just trying a lot of different lineups out there of people who haven't played very much.


Yes. This team has super talent.

That being said, do we have a single offensive rebound?
DanaDane

All of UIW's points have come from 3 players.

Bears now 38% from the floor and 25% from 3 (3 of 12)

At least a good finish to the first half.

I didn't realize how much thicker-bodied Sochan is compared to Brown.

After a really slow start, Bears pick it up and end up shooting 49% from the floor in the first half and 31% from 3.
Both double figure scorers, Cryer (11) and Sochan (10), came off the bench.

Who had Reggie Bush sitting down to talk about Baylor Basketball with John Morris and King McClure on their 2021-2022 bingo card?

Beautiful drive and stuff by Brown!!!!

He starts the 1st half with a slam and the same for the 2nd half!!!!!
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Is there any doubt in the world, Drew draws up the best inbounds plays in CBB? That was beautiful pass from Akinjo to Brown, who would have slammed it but had his arms pulled down.
