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.

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

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.
