Two beautiful passes by George. Even Flo couldn't miss those.

I don't remember when, but I distinctly remember at least one. It was probably against a cupcake. Maybe Tarleton.

Jalen Bridges shooting is a turnover

My God

Why
DanaDane

I'm to the point I'd just as soon see Jordan Turner throw up some wild ass shot. It would have a better probability of going in than anything Bridges shoots.

More like Bridges To Terriblebithia

Why on earth we wait to attack until sub 8 second half I'll never understand

Can we go 1 just 1 possession without fouling Jesus. Also convince me Turner can't give us exactly what Bridges is? Hell I'd wager he would be more efficient

3-11

This has been a weird game. Flagler and Cryer have a combined 12 shots.
Fre3dombear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
So many wiiiiiiiiide open looks for wsu
bear2be2
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We need Flagler taking 10-plus shots a game.
Fre3dombear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
But the infectious enthusiasm like he 8-11

I'm good w it

Yes. Apparently not a personal on the rule change now though

I said it during the Marquette game -- this team is gonna need Flagler to play selfishly (at least to him) and take more shots to make this a great team this year.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
George less shots, Flag and Cryer WAY more. Less and less bridges like 10 minutes a game max. And way more Josh O
Stefano DiMera

We're gonna play 8 games against teams similar to Wash St.. Oklahoma..Iowa St..Kansas State..and I'd put Tech on their level...I know the doomsayers will say this game means we'll struggle in conference...but I think a gutty win tonight will play dividends..

I do think the 2 weeks off had something to do with tonight

Agreed. Flag's our best and most valuable player. We need him to believe that.

Ridiculous we're relying on a freshman to win us this game. Just excellent when working downhill. Great passing and finishing. Work this early not in desperation
ImABearToo

This is a team that plays down to the completion but then plays up as well.

Good grief.

I'm sure the time off had something to do with it. But those 4 teams you mentioned are all significantly better than WAZZOU. Doubt they finish any better than like 11-20
Fre3dombear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Wow
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ok, we've all piled on Bridges for his shooting (and rightfully so), but let's give some credit to Bridges tonight for rebounding. He leads us with 7, including a couple of key boards.
