Everyone keeps disrespecting this team for no reason.


Ive never understood why. CSD has earned respect imo.
I have found theres only two ways to go:
Living fast or dying slow.
I dont want to live forever.
But I will live while I'm here.

Strange timeout by Florida… they had the MO

Some dumb mistakes & sloppiness allowing Florida to cut our 10 point lead to 5. Come in Bears, keep it clean!

Now only 3

Bridges!!!

Florida needs to keep leaving Bridges open.

I think he was talking about Vegas there. One could also argue that our ranking was too low preseason and the first couple weeks.

RayJ is making great passes - 6 assists and counting

Duke really struggling early.

Wow all of our fgs are off of assists so far! Love this style of team ball!

Past two years have been way too much iso...
Married A Horn

Yeah,but we stopped doing it and they rapidly caught us.

Really poor defensive showing. That has to improve and in a hurry.

Spotted them 7 points and a TO & tied at half.... Not the worst. Scott Drew should know what to fix in the 2nd! Sic'em bears

RayJ's pushoffs are killing me. They could conceivably call him for a charge every time.

One thing I remember about Drew in the past was getting the guards to lay the ball way up high off the glass. Nunn and Dennis havent done that today and 21 is eating their lunch - 3 blocks.

if we're gonna talk, how about Florida elbowing pretty much every drive?
IowaBear

Never usually a good sign when you're 8-14 from 3 yet it's tied. D is going to have to tighten up because the odds are we aren't going 8-14 from 3 in the 2nd half. Nunn and Dennis are gonna have to find their shot as well.

I would tell him to keep doing it till they call it. Its not a charge until they call it.

Yeah, just a few drives that didn't fall. Need to dribble drive the kickout. Don't want to waste our hot hands from deep.

Hope the second half stays positive.
Let’s Go!

We need to improve our D and our boards ASAP
BearFan33

D hasn't been good but what's killing us is their offensive rebounds.
Married A Horn

They had one trip down with like 10 chances... finally they poke it in. That was annoying.

IMO this is where refs become a factor.
BearFan33
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Refs calling it pretty tight on us.

Love just has such an effective offensive skill set

Ray J reminds me of Mark Jackson. Not saying he's as good as him.
