This is a big one standings wide. Especially considering what awaits Saturday. Definitely a must win if we're hoping for a B12 title.
Go Bears, beat Tech

I want the first half against ISU repeated in both halves against Tech, minus those long shots by the opponent at the buzzer.

Bears by 30

Interesting how the Bears play Tech after all the crazy "tech" game.

The CURSE of CINCINNATI

The very next game of the last 9 teams that played Cincinnati:

Evansville, Lost to Indiana St.
BYU, Lost to Baylor
Texas, Lost to West Virginia
Baylor, Lost to Kansas St.
TCU, Lost to Iowa St.
OU, Lost to Texas
Kansas, Lost to Iowa St.
UCF, Lost to Baylor
WVU, Lost to BYU


Guess who Cincinnati's last game was against?

Bears haven't been able to stomp anyone in Conference. I thought ISU was going to be the first, but we had a ref crew that was in the middle of menstruation.

Bears by 17 tonight

Iowa State is crushing Texas right now, I hope the Bears will crush Tech even more so.

Bears shooting 18% from 3.

It's either feast or famine.

Spoke too soon

Did we have espresso before the game? Is it jitters?

Tech's a good squad but it feels like we've had plenty of opportunities to be up 8-10 points and haven't taken advantage of it. Sure hope it doesn't come back to bite us later on.

No problem getting open looks and can't throw it in the ocean - at least so far.

Overall shooting - TT 53% BU 33%
3pt shooting - TT 60% BU 18%
FT shooting - TT 80% BU 75%

I believe the Bears will come around but I don't like letting Tech stick around at all.
