Must have been over20 years ago, I think 1997. Secret weapon unleashed. A tad short. Randy Duck playing on a bad leg.

I missed the start of the game but I can tell from the box score that Blacksher started.
Unconscionable.
Down 9, I guess it could be worse?

Andreij is 0 for 6
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band

Same story. No defense. Not following shots, and missing rebounding opportunities as a result. Missing everything. Taking bad shots. This team lacks coaching and talent. Rytis has the best basketball instincts, but he lacks the elite talent. Still, he gets more done with sheer will than anyone else. Such a shame. Mady having a nice game at least.

Often gets slow starts.

When you have only one scorer, it's not that hard for your opponent to come up with a foolproof defensive plan. Who takes over for Andrej, so he gets freed up in the 2nd half!

Wilkinson came in and immediately got stuffed. Bears are a turnover machine. This is, or at least was, a winnable game. Smh

Not an excuse. Andrej had has missed wide open looks. If he's being doubled, it doesn't look like it.

But they're getting open mid-range shots and hitting. Slow rotations by the Bears.

They're 62% on two's.

We are such a ****ty shooting team from 3. It's unbelievable. Just a couple go down and we're tied.

I'm feeling better about next year if we can get a few shooters.

Mady having the game of his life!

I think we're one for 11 from three. Ugh. Ola Joseph and Sissoko are it for us so far. Maybe Andrej and Wilkinson will wake up in the second half.

Is Madsen still coaching in your scenario?

The team is rattled. Need some composure.
Blacksher shouldn't be on the floor.
Our defense is poor. I guess Madsen's answer to our poor defense is a zone.
And we are back to turning the ball over.

We're "only" down 10.........it feels like 20.

At least we showed a little fire at the end of the half - I haven't seen our guys play with anger or emotion until then. Sissoko is single handedly keeping us in the game, good job by him.

We are overmatched talent wise, so we need to make up for it in other ways. Missing wide open 3s will not get it done.

Let's hope we can find something at halftime to energize us in the second half.

Sissoko is probably my fav player on this team

Always plays 100%, rebounds and scoring. 5 point swing when he dived for loose ball and getting it to Ola-Joseph for 3 point play

We are getting open 3 shots but clanging off the rim

Our 3 guards having problems against UNC length

Our guards playing way off the ball and we don't blitz our bigs so they are getting easy 10-12 foot jumpers

Sissoko is the only reason were down by 10. W/o sisssoko, we'd be down by 30
JimSox

Our guards are two for 21

Why isn't Ola-Joseph on the court at all times. Such a puzzling move

Even though Jovan hasn't been effective on the offensive side, give credit to him on the defensive side

Can't believe we're still in this, let's wake up, activate Andrej and another scorer, and steal a W. Go Bears!
Johnfox

Keys to win this game.

Get Wilkinson and Andrej going.
Make some 3 pointers please
barsad
How long do you want to ignore this user?
The Andrej-Mady connection works, keep it up! This could be Andrej's worst game if this keeps up.
Johnfox

Of course we never make our 3 pointers. What are we doing

1-16.... sadly, that will not get it done.

Blacksher is working hard on D but he is also getting abused. He is also not getting any help from the big on the pick and roll.

Here is our long stretch of not scoring. Happens every game.

Whelp, stick a fork in us.

The normal. Not Blacksheres fault. No one can score
Johnfox

This team had glaring issues. There are NO reliable shooters on the team and I need Mark Madsen to go out next year and get those 3 point shooters with size.

Also, see how much of a difference Sissoko made? Maddog took him out and we go down 22

I'm almost 50, stopped playing in 8th grade, and haven't shot a ball in 20 years, but I guarantee I would have hit more 3s than the Bears tonight, even with someone in my face. This is an assault on the eyes and a disgrace to the game.

We're not even close to being on the same level as North Carolina. They're royalty; we're paupers.

With 5 minutes to go, Bears are 2-22 from three but 20-38 from two.
Hmmmmm
