First why would Bonner have the ball on the last possession and why would we again wait till sub 7 to get into the play. Bonner should be parked out at the corner 3 on the last possession.

Poor late 1st half coaching at this point as this is a recurring issue. Critical as we practically give away a decent chance to put another score on the board before half.
time to fire Scott Drew; he doesn't know how to coach!

Yep. Had a feeling we'd see Bridges and Lohner on the court at the same time. No other choices. Gotta give the guards a breather.

Lid on basket for both teams now

Need to grind out some points

GREAT DEFENSE!

Asberry and Thompson both with 3 fouls apiece now. If they go out, Ok State has basically no one to shoot from the outside.

GREAT MOVE, Bonner!!!!!!!

Sure would be nice if we could collect a few defensive rebounds.

We can't time our jumps on rebounding or something

Thank the Lord Ok state can't make a layup

Cissa has skillet hands. He almost makes Flo look like a smooth scorer.
DanaDane

It's almost impossible to have 19 offensive rebounds and take 12 more shots from the floor than an opponent and be 1 point behind. Somehow Ok State is 13 behind.

If we don't wait sub 7 the odds go better 5050 the other team scores like UNLV

I've resigned myself to the fact that if the other team doesn't score it's a W

I build Flo up and what does he do for me? He airballs the next one trying to be Lebron on a post move.

Bears have scored 4 points since the 12:26 mark (almost 5 minutes ago).

Gonna have to keep playing good D, hope OK St continues to clank shots, or someone needs to step up with a hot hand for us.

Not sure who is implying anything like that. Has done a great job overall but doesn't change the end of 1st half possessions have been terrible. Both are true and it is a trend. Not some wild implication on the program or staff.

Waiting for sub 6 on the shot clock to start action is an objectively poor possession and it has happened 4-5 times in the last few weeks.

Amazing how much better he looks at FTs this year - must have put in some hard work.

No letting up Bears. Keep the pedal down. Make em put you on the foul line.
