Very lazy the last 4 min... you see them thinking they were down huge (which is true) and then intensity seems a bit off now.

Iowa State outscore us 25-10 in last 7 mins.

Hope we pick the energy and momentum back up for the 2nd half.

We should never play a 3 guard lineup unless injury or foul trouble dictates it. Last year we had 4 star guards. This year we have 2. It is what it is.

When I left the TV, it was 33-12 and I come back and it's now 39-29. How!?! Not the score I hoped to see at the half

Man we came out guns blazing. Only to let ISU right back in this game at the half.

Brown with 11 and Sochan with 10 points lead the Bears.


Robert Jones, who averages 2.6 points a game, leads Iowa St with 10 on 5 easy layups.

Hopefully Drew will make the right halftime adjustment to stop them from getting easy layups. Got to keep the intensity up. Last four minutes or so of the first half we looked like we were playing as if we'd already won the game.

Something's going on with Flagler's knee. He's getting torched on D, not even within 8 feet of his guy. And he's basically semi hobbling up and down the court.
DanaDane

YES!!!!!!


Beautiful lob to KB for the SLAM!!!!!!

Flag with a big 3!
Hotsauce
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Flagler is noticeably limping.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, I knew something was going on. He is NEVER off his man as much as he's been since around the 5 minute mark of the 1st half. Dang I hope he's gonna be ok.

Not good. I wonder if it happened on that drive where he got knocked down and landed kinda awkwardly (more on his back tho)

Sad that these guys cannot get fully healed/healthy.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Bonner's gonna have to come in and contribute on D.
CHP Bear

No time out

Yikes. Who is the answer to turn to?
Self Made Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Flagler obviously injured. Can't play D.
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Now it's probably gonna be a dog fight the rest of the way. I really want this co-championship bad because with all the injury issues I fear we're going to be limited in the tournament and this could turn out to be our biggest accomplishment this season.

Gonna be a tough one to win with a clearly injured Flag. Could be a disastrous blow to our post season hopes with him clearly now playing at less then 100%
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Iowa St is feeling it on O. Can't miss now.
jdrs
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Iowa St just can't seem to miss

Kalschear Single-handedly keeping them in the game.
