Nervous about this one. We have some history of playing really bad at Hilton - even in.down years for ISU.

I wouldn't worry. It's a college team playing against an NBA team. We are chasing the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers. I think we catch them.

Texas v W Virginia game still has 4:30 to go and it's 12:52. I think the broadcast of our game will be late.

Oh, and there are the zebras to contend with. Plus we look a bit sluggish. Get that crowd out of it Bears.

Yeah, ISU needs some whistles too.

I wish there were more Baylor fans there.

Flagler looks lost in the 1 position. Thamba and Mayer playing great to keep us in this.

Don't like that whistle on JTT.

Yeah, given up several second and third chance shots.

May be one of those games we just hang around until mid second half, then barnstorm ISU.

I said this is the game Mayer must start impressing the scouts. So far so good. He is the key. When he is on his game everybody else follows. Need to see some more Brown involved. He doesn't need to be on the bench for long.

Why does Houston/Temple get a 5:00 ESPN game, but this Top 10 matchup is shoved onto ESPNU?

Maybe too close to shugar bowl kick?

Is Tang there? I haven't seen him yet .

Starting to get away from driving the lane last few minutes. Did the same vs. Oregon and then 2nd half did a much better job. They cannot get complacent about driving the lane bc it creates space for shooters. This perimeter offense is good for only so long!
Stefano DiMera
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Never mind .I see him on bench now.

Thank you Brown.

Bears have been solid so far.
Very hard to get a top 10 road win.
Fouls 9 to 4 which is what you get on the road
CHP Bear

I think Brown is a keeper, but right now I'm not buying the leaving for pros this year.
ImABearToo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Spectacular dunks aren't all the pros expect. He needs 2 years of college ball.

ISU 8/11
Bears 4/4

Bonus + for State will help them get closer.

Nice to see fouls even out a little at the end of the half. The last second shot to extend the lead was incredible. Take the MO and win the first five minutes of the 2nd.

Fun half. ISU played as well as they could have hoped and still down 8. Mayer, Flagler, Akinjo, and Thamba all played well. Upperclassmen coming up big in a conference road game against an undefeated top ten opponent.
