Lid on the bucket for us. I think our drivers keep expecting to be bailed out by a foul when they drive. Refs not calling them

Hitting open threes will help

And we need to stop their offensive rebounding.
We're taking terrible shots. These aren't high-percentage looks.

Like a Fran said, Arky's length hinders wide open looks for our guards.

Pull Keyonte now Drew. Stupid pass.

Does George make more good plays, or bad ones?

Sure there's a stat for that but seems like 50-50 to me (at least in recent games) …

Flo just got married and took his wifes name. Kidding of course

His good shots are highlight reels and not sure they come in crunch time, more when the team is coasting. If he's nba level as we keep hearing then I want to see him take over a game, put the team on his shoulders, and win it for us. Jordan…LeBron et al

Finally starting to call the pushes and shoves on Arky again.

He's been a liability the last three games, which is frustrating because it was looking like he had turned a corner before that.

Come on Bears!! Get good looks and force Arky into jump shots and don't allow 2nd chance points

We are getting schooled in a tie game. George with 14 pts is liability. Genius

He's had some off games here and there but I don't ever recall him unable to throw it in the ocean from a boat like today

We've had better quality shots this second half. Still not falling like normal but hopefully start dropping soon

Seems every time keynote shoots you here "that's a tough shot"

Keynote and flag 6-27

That won't last forever. Then Arkansas is put down

Official attendance 10,627. Time to bring out the warning they give you on the first day of law school:

"Look at the person on your left. Now look at the person on your right. One of the 3 of you won't be here this time next year."
