Five minutes until tipoff and the crowd looks to be a LOT smaller than Saturday's game. I'm usually one of the main defenders of our small crowds (there are many reasons), but I cannot defend this. It is disgraceful.

I knew on a cold damp Tuesday that the crowd would be minuscule

First 18 1/2 minutes were called like a UFC cage match. Last 90 seconds like an Olympic fencing match where every touch stopped the action.

I guess we should be happy with a 10 point lead at half time. But dang ! we had so many opportunities to widen the gap.. Matharu second leading rebounder so far for the Bears.

Three Bears with 2 fouls ..

Only Felder has 2. Refs only called 9 total fouls in the half (5 on BU, 4 on WV).

White haired ref has been making most of the calls favoring WV. Walker heaves up a wild 3 as the shot clock expires, female ref calls WV for pushing her. Makes all 3. So when WV throws up a desperation 3 at the end of the quarter, white haired male ref naturally calls Walker for the same thing.

dumb to foul a 3 shooter , dang it !! had a 15 point lead , back to 12..

W.Va. has 3 players with 3 fouls. including their 2 best scorers.

Come on Bears. lets close this out !!
