I think Keyonte was a bit unnerved by the environment to start out and those made shots are helping to settle him down. We need him to make more of those shots.

The Bears are not intimidated.

I am more confident than ever that we can get the sweep. I'm not declaring victory in the first half but our guys are playing some great basketball!!

We'll probably need it with the way the refs are building up the foul disparity

Keyonte is a man amongst boys! And he's JUST a freshman.

I think we're finally getting that game where all three guards play well.

Key struggled early, but he's taken the game over the last five minutes.

JTT knows better than that. Drew should have pulled him

When Wilson has to go nearly horizontal to draw contact, I don't think that ought to be a foul

EJ looking a couple steps slow in this game. Understandably.
