We'd be up 10 without the dumb shots.

Apparently George is still in some kind of funk. No idea what its about but I hope he gets over it soon. If he was shooting the way he was a couple weeks ago we would be blowing them out of the arena and would've done the same thing to Arkansas as well.

He consistently takes tough, low-percentage shots. It's really that simple.

He plays like he's Luka Doncic without the ability to consistently hit the shots Luka does.

Y'all gonna drive yourselves crazy trying to turn Keyonte into something he's not..those look like bad shots...but too him they're not and shots he thinks he should make..

Just hope he doesn't get down and gets his mojo going like he has lately.

We have to prevent the back door cuts. Too many open shots for UT near the basket.

You can think those are good shots all you want. When you're shooting 38 percent from the field for the year, they're not.

If Love was available I'd say give him a shot for the rest of the half but he isn't.

We're gonna get too far behind for Keyonte's explosive late second half scoring surge to matter.

Good drive and dish by Bonner.

When Flagler can catch and shoot with his feet set, you can throw those points on the board in advance.

Length favors Bears. Use it.

Scoring Getting rebounds and playing great. Such a turnaround

As a defender of George...I will admit this run has come with his ass on the bench...and the defense and rebounding have ticked up a bit.

ISU destroying Tatech 35-20 w/ 1:27 left in the first half.

Isaiah Austin is probably Drew's best center, but Josh O has the potential to become the best. He makes some typical freshman mistakes but his hand-eye coordination and soft shooting touch are not easy to find in a big man.

The same thing happened against Kansas.

He's become a player that has to be managed. When he's on, he can carry you. When he's not, he can play you out of games if you let him.

Are we calling Motley a forward? If not, he'd be the best post player IMO.
