https://ucasports.com/news/2022/2/21/mens-basketball-bears-battle-east-leader-before-falling.aspxUCA/LU:
FG%: 41% v 56% ... LU +7 made 2s
3s%: 32% v 42% ... LU +3 made
FT%: 73% v 88% ... Bears +4 made
Rebs: 3-24/27 v 4-34/38 ... neither team did much on o-boards...but LU got about 7 extra possessions with d-rebs
TO: 13 v 15 ... Bears+9 POTO for good efficiency
Hard to win when other team gets more shots and shoots 56%... Bears led most of first 25-26 minutes...then LU lit up from outside and won last 14 minutes by 31-11....ASUN leading scorer went 36/7 with 6/16 3s plus 6/11 2s and 4/5 FTs....pretty good shooter....Cooper led Bears with 17...Chatham another strong game at 16/5....Kayouloud had a solid game at 12/6....Hunter solid at 12/5/8A.....
Beras finish on road at UNA on Wed at 6pm and at Lipscomb on Sat at 1pm...really need to win both to end up 8-8 in ASUN....
Liberty (11-3), Jacksonville (10-4), Jacksonville State (11-3) and Bellarmine (10-4) have first four seeds wrapped up.....next four comes down to this week....
UCA (6-8) at UNA (2-12) and Lipscomb (5-9)
FGCU (8-6) at LU (11-3) next then at Jacksonville (10-4)...probably end up 8-8
KSU (6-8) get Stetson (5-9) at home then at LU (11-3) ... maybe ends up 7-9
North Florida (6-8) get Jacksonville (10-4) on road then at Stetson (5-9) ... best probably 7-9
Stetson (5-9) at KSU (6-8) then home vs North Florida (6-8)....maybe ends up 7-9
Lipscomb (5-9).....gets Bellarmine next on road (10-4) and UCA (6-8) at home ... best likely 6-10)
Above gets FGCU as 5th seed.....if UCA wins out the Bears are 6th seed....if Bears end up 7-9 then tie breaker decides vs KSU, North Florida and Stetson....thus, need to win out....Go Bears!!
