UCAFANS.COM | GO UCA BEARS!

If we had a Meagan Herbert or Courtney Duever who could just dominate inside it would make a huge difference...……..we are a guard and forward team right now that is not very good from 3...….. going to have to have others step up and get 5-6 points per game...…..excellent defense and somehow have to get more points off defense play...……..Coach has a challenge getting the pieces in right place for each game...……..still...…..slip into the tourney and see what happens...…..Go SugarBears!!

NWS 11-13=24-19=43-9=52 (2-7)

NWS/UCA

FGs: 35% v 39%
3s: 33% v 29%
FTs: 37% v 81% ….SBs +9 made
Rebs: 23 v 49....wow.....26 were o-rebs
TOs: 15 v 16......25 POTO

Had to miss the most of the last half....looks like SBs stepped up offense and put the hammer down on defense in Q4...…Orr 26/4/3A/5S.....Fisher a 13/13 double double......Canady 13/8.....

Q2: Demons had another 9-2 run to close the gap but SBs held tough rebounding and defense to edge back out a bit......neither team shooting great...…..35% SBs v 32%....NWS has 7 made FTs and SBs only have had 4 attempts……... UCA 13 rebs and +6 o-rebs…+14 POTO...…Orr 9/4S....Fisher excellent 5/7...…..Canady also has 5......Langhi and Johnson each have 4 rebs……

Q1: Demons took 9-2 lead then SBs woke up and finished with a 15-2 run...…..11 rebs in total and 6 o-rebs but the steals is what sparked the offense....44% FGs but really about 70% after a very poor start.........Orr with 6 and 5 others have scored.....

Coach Long on the radio show tonight as Coach Rushing a game on the road recruiting...….you can tell he really likes working with the team...…….

What current SugarBear's father was All-SEC, SEC POY and a decade of professional basketball after being drafted by Mavs? She also avg 18+ points in high school and 9 rebs…….has height to be a Megan Herbert and Courtney Duever player...………

Kudos to SB Alanie Fisher from Red Stick, LA majoring in health education and plans to go for MBA in health management.....sounds like a level headed head young lady....oh yeah, she led crashing the boards last Sat with a 13/13 double double....

Need to wrap up home stand vs SLU on Saturday with a win...…….Go SugarBears!!

SLU@UCA

SLU 10-4-9-10=33 (3-7)
UCA 28-17-15-15=75 (4-6)

SLU/UCA
FGs: 28% v 49%
3s: 14% v 42%
FTs: 60% v 75% ...SBs 24/32 and +18
Rebs: 33 v 32
TOs: 23 v 9

So shoot well, play good defense, get to the line a lot and low TOs usually means a win......they were certainly motivated today............45-14 at half......Orr leads SBs with 23/3/3A/1S with 64% FGs.......Canady a solid 13/6.........Bozic 11/2/3A.....Fisher and Langhi a nice 8/5 and 8/6

Next off to HBU for a Wed night game then back a week later to Farris for game with McNeese.......Go SugarBears!!

They put the beat-down on SLU! Great all-around performance!

Watching that game last night all I could think of was "how in the world are they getting so many offensive rebounds AND some of them AFTER a FREE THROW!"

Seriously?!

Block out and rebound.

McNeese would not have scored 30 had we done that.

I noticed we only had 10 players dress out. I didn't see the Conway girl playing either unless I missed her. Sells was not dressed out either.


Glad we won though. Keep it up Sugar Bears!

Apparently Taylor may miss rest of season...…….I think Lowe got into game late for 3-4 minutes...….

UCA@Nicholls

UCA 7-16-12-17= 52 (6-8)
NSU 15-15-20-18=68 (10-4)

Colonels too much offense in Q3/Q4....NSU +14 on made FTs......pretty ,much the difference......Orr led with 12/3/4A/3S while Fisher went 7/10/1A/3S but had 5TOs and fouled out. Colonels had 4 in double figures.

Back on road next at SFA......not any easier.

Coach not happy…...not putting pressure on the ball...…….did not play with heart….embarrassing and unacceptable...….Goodner had 13/5...Langhi scored 11...….Fisher had 13 rebs…...

Q3: Hill got much steeper...……….Fisher has 11 rebs and Goodner now leads UCA scoring at 8...…..Jacks have three in double figures...…..

H1: Well, at least did not start the game down 25-1...…….held our own in Q2 but at least scored more...….29% FGs vs 50%...…..0% 3s vs 31%...…….50% FTs vs 71%......out rebounded 18 v 12...….Fisher leads with a nice 5/4 game...……..Orr scoreless...….
