Watching on my phone at work
A couple of thoughts:
Foreman needs to break back door or cut through if he doesn't get the ball initially. Continuing to just stand there and calling for the ball stops the entire offense.
Lars is slow on the hedge to get back. I'd run that pick and roll all day on us with him in the game.
Foreman and Betley aren't shooting like the last game. That really hurts.
Kuany Kuany needs more minutes. In fact, I'd start him.
I don't understand why in our zone we run 2 guys at the shooter and leave someone wide open in the corner. Only one guy should play ball at a time unless we are trying to trap.
Gotta hit our 3s. That is the difference between us being good offensively and poor offensively.
With Matt and Grant out, I would run something for Betley every time down to give him a good look. That will force the defense to overcommit to stopping that which should open up lanes to drive.
The difference between this game and CSUN is that we are dribbling way more this game and we don't have anyone who is as good as beating his guy off the dribble as their PG or Paris Austin. We need guys running at us to go by them.

Any other year, I'd be at this game and WE HAVE OURSELVES A BARNBURNER, 55-53 GOLDEN BEARS !!!

Our zone defense is poor. We have to play it with Lars in there but I would prefer to play man against them.
Missing Grant in this game... offense and defense

Can't give Seattle 2nd chance 3's. That's just a backbreaker.
I'm pretty sure Hyder would have made those wide open treys if he was in mid-season form. Will need some time.
Foreman 1-6. Ouch.
Just give him the last shot.Bear8995 said:

Tough when we have Lars and Joel in the game. Two guys that have a rough time on offense.
Why is Lars playing so much?
Joel DOWNTOWN Brown!
I guess because Kuany is hurt we need another big in there. I don't think Fox trusts Thorpe too much. Not sure if Lars is any better though.Bear8995 said:

Brown final took a shot and made it, but he is such a bad shooter. You can't have a one dimensional point guard if you want to win in conference.

We can't give up the momentum from USF and CSUN. We need to finish strong here.
Joel Brown the three point shooter!
Joel !!!
Browntown!

Kuany is limping. Losing him hurts.
We need another scorer in there. I'd put Bowser or Hyder in there instead of Lars. Thorpe must not be practicing well. Would be tough for anyone else to come in cold at this point.

Terrible clock management by Seattle, Let's about 25 seconds go in the clock then fouls Foreman anyway.
I get that. But he isn't the next best healty player left.IssyBear said:Because Kuany is hurt.Bear8995 said:

Too quick on my post on Browns shooting for this game, but when they said he was 35% from the foul line it confirms he will hurt you in the long run if he is the staring Pt guard. Maybe over the summer he can get some shooting help as he is quick and plays good D, but you have to be able to shoot!!
I'm just glad he's hitting his 3s. That's huge for his game and confidence.
Somewhat similar game as USF but I love how we don't give up when we're down. Kuany and Joel took big steps forward respectively, today.
Phew!!
