Acuil getting abused by the Egyptian. Lecomte having a bad half. Can't seem to get his footwork right. Like the floor is slippery or something.

VCU 30-26 now at under 4 timeout

Lecomte needs to be off the ball and work to get free. He can't get an open look now and there isn't another scoring threat for bu at the moment

they've done a good job taking away LeComte and we have no one else to create their own shot. Put 4 guys on the perimeter and post up Ish or Maston until they play off our guards.

We're gonna need some more energy in the 2nd half.

Refs are calling this super tight, but they're letting a ton of hand checking go on. Interesting.

We look like we have no confidence on offense and Jo is getting dominated by Hamdy. With our players we shouldn't struggle this much to score.

That's the only one. Who would have thought the 7 footer would have the only attempt in 16 mins

When the refs let VCU get physical we just back down. That missed shot by Lecomte was a borderline foul. We need to be stronger out there.

Is Nuni a legit scorer? We might really need him in conference on the wing.

I wonder what the humidity is like inside that arena. Seems several of our guys have lost the ball and they normally don't do that.

They are allowing a ton of contact on the outside and much less inside.

A lot of dribbling and not much movement on offense. It's like the other 4 guys without the ball are doing the mannequin challenge

their pressure has us lost and on our heels. we aren't helping with some unforced turnovers, to boot.

Jo hits 1 of 2. 34-28 VCU, they will hold for last shot. call timeout with :28

terrible half of basketball for the Bears. Let's hope the 2nd half is a lot different.

We need Chuck to do something on offense. He needs to help us right now when everyone else is struggling. I like how Freeman & Lindsey are starting to take the ball to the basket. That's what you have to do when guards are all over you.

Really just need to calm down and limit the turnovers. We will be fine.

Freeman can be such a mixed bag. He's aggressive in a negative way most of the time.
