UCAFANS.COM | GO UCA BEARS!

The way I understand it, it will be a dress-up affair in a toga sort of way. Monkey, it's time to break out the purple body thong.

I'm surely planning on being there. I heard the radio interview last night with Coach Rand and I'm ready for some basketball!

NO IT AIN'T!!!

I've already had it on for the past month cause I am still waiting for the postman to deliver my purple thermal thong.

Kind of a tongue twister. Repeat as fast as you can.....

purple thermal thong

I really hope that we come out tonight and pound Idaho. That will really make me happy! I hope there is a huge crowd and people realize that UCA Basketball is fun and exciting to watch!

GO BEARS!

Ohh, and all 4 3's were made my one man! Marcus Pillow!!

Any mention of the attendance?

Not that I've heard, other than Monty saying it is a good crowd on hand.

Hay's in the Barn!

Very good second half by the Bears! Pillows has 24 points! 4 Bears in double figures. Bears improve to 8-1 against a very physical WAC team...only 2 wins away from equalling the win total from last season!

GO BEARS!

Attendance better than usual..1845. Still a far cry from where I was hoping!

I know that our first conference game against UT-Arlington will be a BIG game. It happens to fall on the first day of classes. I just hope that they can get some good promotion out that day to really get everyone to turn out and have a HUGE crowd for that game!

Very good win. Had to work late and missed the broadcast. Looks like Pillow stepped up tonight.....keep up the good work.

GoBears!!

It was a pretty physical game especially in the second half. Refs let them play for the most part. Not many fouls or turnovers. A well played ball game, imo. However, as someone stated earlier in this thread, the sound system is horrendous. Heard something is being done about it. Oh yeah, the popcorn still sucks.
