[MVCfans]

Bears lead 34-24 at half.

[Hail Our Panthers]

Thursday night is "bearing" down on UNI. Pun intended

Feels good to actually win a home game.

What??

I agree. Was there and it felt great to play that well in front of a good crowd on ESPN. Several Bears really stepped up and made up for the loss of Patterson.

It was a pretty good team we beat too.

What in the world are you talking about???

We had a great crowd tonight.

Just happy to see the team push the ball and look to score before the defense sets. We got a little complacent once the lead got large, but Weems did a good job of distributing the ball once UNI vowed to take him away, and a few outside shots went down late.

The movement, the passing, the passion all were nice to see.

It would be nice to see MSU make a drive for 3rd place.

MSU was easily the better team yesterday. There is no doubt they came out and played with more passion than we did. Weems early on was just unstoppable. He won them that game in the first half. James played horrendously. It seems as if teams have figured out how to stop James. We didn't get anyone scoring in double figures. Just not a good game, and most of that credit goes to MSU.

Thursday here we come!

Edit: We also got severely out rebounded. It is never a recipe for success when all of your big men combine for just as many rebounds as your 6 ft guard. Seriously, how do Koch, Tuttle, Rank, and Pehl combine for 8 rebounds and James gets 8 himself?

The Bears with a .500 record in conference play, underacheiving, still have a good crowd.

If this game had been in Cedarloo with UNI? half empty gym.

UNI with a 3 game under .500 record, underachieving, and fans don't show up. Not that surprising...

Drake over .500, overachieving, and gets 4k for league leader Wichita...
