I'm glad we have a game before the Bears head to Ames. Knock the rust off, fine tune some things and head into conference at 10-2

Disagree. We need to win by at least 20 tonight.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

Here's what I hope we see tonight.

1. Crisp passes
2. Good close outs on shooters
3. Control of the defensive glass
4. No more over helping which in my view has led to a lot of open threes
5. KG1 going at the basket and not settling for threes
6. More minutes for Josh O
7. Love to keep attacking

Anyone on injury report tonight?

LJ is not warming up
DanaDane

LJ out again.

Last year the foot; this year the back.

Unfortunately he just looks like one of those unlucky guys who is gonna be injury plagued during his career.

How in the world did Flagler hit that shot????
DanaDane

1st media timeout

Bears 12
Nicholls 3


Flagler with 8

That may well be the case. I hope you are wrong!

I hope I'm wrong too. Luckily we're deep with guards this year. I have a feeling Love is gonna be playing a lot more minutes than may have been initially anticipated. He drilled the 3, so that's a good start!!!!!
BearkatBear

I like Langston a lot. If he stays next year I could see him being a featured guy
vanillabryce
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Love seems to have a nice compact stroke!
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Josh O has a beautiful shot release on his FT's. Very uncommon for a big guy like that.
BUBradley
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Unless we do really well in the big dance and he breaks out… he will be back next year for sure.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
2nd media timeout

11:26


Baylor 19
Nicholls 11


Flagler 8, George 5
BUBradley
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'm more worried about him getting drafted this year than Langston Love.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
CT -- you're at the game. Is that a small brace on Bridges right wrist or is that just a camera defect?
CTbruin
How long do you want to ignore this user?
One ref is absolutely awful

Scott is on him. Seldom see that
CTbruin
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'll ck when he comes in
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I think we're OK there. From all that I've heard, he really wants to learn at the collegiate level for a few years before making the step into the draft. He knows he still has things to work on. Things can obviously change, but from all I've heard he's a well grounded young man who has a long term plan and is working to get there.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
George is amazing on off balance shots.
CTbruin
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I don't see anything
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Thanks. Probably just a camera defect earlier.
DanaDane

George from DEEP!

13 points for George now


28-15 Bears

I think he hit two last game after going like 0-17 in his previous 17 attempts

Kentucky just struggles to score. I wonder how some of those guys they get are rated so highly because some of them are just awful offensively other than dunks.
