Go Bears!

WSU 6-7 from the arc. You just can't allow open threes.

Wazzu can absolutely get hot from long-range, but this is a bit ridiculous. Gotta think they'll have a hard regression to the mean at some point.

If Bradley does not shoot and score the Bears can't win. I'm surprised he is passing up shots. Is he upset for not starting? Kelly can drive you nuts!

Bradley has 5 now. He didn't start because he was out sick this week.

Like PJ said (amazing to hear PJ btw) it doesn't matter if they cool off they just have to do better than Cal, which seems to be an easier goal.

Our energy defensively is about 50% of what it was last game. We can't afford to play like that.

We also can't shoot again. We are getting OK shots but missing them.

You have to be kidding me how they've left Williams so open for threes.

The energy we had v. CU is completely gone.

Get it under 10 at the half, play much tighter perimeter D and take care of the ball better in the 2nd half to have a chance.

It's going the other way. Pretty embarrassing after our best game of the season. Sigh.

it is hard to stay tuned. If I'm Fox I'd consider starting the bench players in the second half!

We need someone to get in people's faces and get them fired up. This is about as bad a half of basketball that I've seen in a long time.

I look forward to a competitive second half!

Other than getting killed in rebounds, 3 point makes and FT, Bears are competitive.

Though we have a whole 2nd half to play, it is hard to imagine we come back from this. We'd have to score 50 again like we did against Utah and hold them under 28. Possible? Maybe. Likely? No.

They better be in their jocks for 20 minutes behind the arc

When one guy scores 2 points less than your whole team it doesn't usually end well. At the half he has a career high 24 points as well as 3 rebounds. 4 assists, and 2 steals.

They have taken 3 more shots and 8 more free throws.

They have 20 rebounds. We have 8.

They are shooting 59%.We are shooting 42%.

We have 7 TOs and they have 5.

Every statistic is in their favor, and not by a little.

Not exactly. Both teams have played 20 minutes.

A wise man once told me that 50 something to 20 something ain't good.

To beat their zone, you need to pass to a player on the free throw line, who can pass or shoot from that spot. We repeatedly got good passes to that player, and they were all "good" shooters, yet no one could make the shot. That, added to the array of ticky-tack fouls being called, added to our lack of energy, resulted in the half time score.

And it appears nothing has changed.

Or dribble penetration, which no one besides Bradley has shown consistent interest in doing so far this year.

Even if we shot 50%, we'd only have 6-9 more points. We aren't hustling. They are winning every 50-50 ball because we are standing around watching. We are playing defense with our hands, not our feet. We aren't going for rebounds unless they come right to us. We just didn't come to play.

And Bradley now has 4 fouls
