Not a fan of our final possession at all but 42-32 at the half.

Fantastic defense on the final fgcu possession.

If you told me FGCU would be shooting 50% from the field, 50% from 3 and 100% from the FT line you would think we'd be in trouble.

42-32 Baylor at the half.

I've never seen him in person but is Jerry Hill a really small person?

No. He's like 5-6ish or so -- small but not "really small."

I would describe him as "raw". He's crazy quick. Decision making should get better with time.

Well he looked tiny between J-Mo and the other guy at the half.

Quite raw (not Bello raw, but raw enough). But man, once he starts to mature ...

Announcers said Baylor's 65% in the 1st half was the highest FG% against FGCU in their history.

Of course, they've only played hoops since 2002. School itself was actually founded in 1991 ... and already has nearly 15,000 students.

I would say "not really". They are on fire from the floor though.

i would like to see us go man here for a while.

Bears lead by 2

We're playing pretty well but they are very hot from 3. They don't have much of an inside game but move the ball well on the perimeter and can drive and dish. We're definitely outplaying them and have the advantage but we don't want to keep them in this very much longer or this could get interesting down the stretch.

That's 2 games in a row we've lost our 10pt halftime lead in the first few minutes.

This is when it would be nice to have a big loud crowd to get us out of this funk. Looks dead there.

I'm sorry, but if your opponent is shooting over 50%, you aren't playing well

Mitchell with another turnover

I'm not sure I understand the reasoning we go away from what has worked for us. We have completely stopped feeding the interior.

I'm not sure that was a charge. He slipped to the side and barely bumped him. You are right about the 3 previous times though.

53-51 BU. Time to turn this around

Why does BU have trouble w/ crafty little white kids (Yale & now FGCU).
Our man to man D isn't working either.

I'd like to see LeComte get some shots or create for himself. He's our best scorer but isn't looking for his shot.

He's only taken 3 shots tonight.
