Coach has the right idea of no moral victories but as a fan it is really good to see our guys go on the road to a B10 team and come so close to a win. If the team takes this as a sign of what they can do if they keep improving, then they will have success.

Shot well (>47%), rebounded well, won TOs by +4 (including getting 11 steals)..........hometeam was +17 on FTs and got to line 34 times while Bears saw the stripe onlty 11 times........classic homecourt advantage........still had a chance to get the win.............keep working..................good progress........

Bears were flat hitting only 4/19 3s....Howard takes win 73-54..........two steps forward..............

Get back home and get after UALR next week..........

At UALR

UCA 28-45=73
UALR 38-41=79

Bears got off a bit slow in H1 but played really well in H2 to close gap.

UCA/UALR

FG%: 49%/49%
3s: 44%/38%
FTs: 19-24-78%/20-23-87%
TO: 19/8
Rebs: 32/26

Basically the <11> TOs turned into <22> for points off TO and that was the game.

Brooks had 16/7 for Bear and Howard tallied 22. Kamba had none with about 8-9 minutes remaining then finished with 9 going 7/7 for FTs.

Not a win but another game better than last year and shows some consistency.

At OU

UCA 24-44=68
#6 OU 54-57=111

http://www.ucasports.com/boxscore.aspx?path=mbball&id=2300

These games and stats can be hard to interpret. OU hititng 59% for 3s in out of sight.......OU won 3s by 39-21.......hard to overcome that........that's shoot around accuracy.........it does look like our guys hustled and never quit .won TOs by 9 to 10 , blocked 4 shots and had 6 steals........

At Pitt

UCA 23-24=47
Pitt 50-50=100

Shot 31% and 1/12 from 3s......


"My emotions are really mixed right now,' said UCA head coach Russ Pennell. "I thought we started off the game competing better than we did against Oklahoma (on Thursday). Our effort was better. Sometimes you can try really hard and don't think, and that's kind of what I thought we did. I thought we played hard but not very smart.

Certainly basketball ratings are suspect but the below is interesting using the Sagarin ratings as to strength of schedule to date. This is only after about 10 games and will change quickly as conference play starts but it is a measure of out of conference schedules:

1 - Incarnate Word
2 - Nicholls State
3 - Northwestern State
4- Eastern Michigan
5- Louisiana-Lafayette
6- UAPB
7- Monmouth
8- Western Carolina
9-McNeese State
10-Long Beach State
11- Sam Houston State
12- UC-Santa Barbara
13-Boise State
14- UCA
15- Morgan State

Now some names:

Michigan State - 152
Oklahoma - 219
Kansas - 120
North Carolina - 31
Duke - 109
Arizona - 240
Butler - 224

No Top 25 team in Sagarin had a SOS of better than 21........
