We gave up 94 in regulation to HBU......not a lot of defense there....

SHS@UCA

SHS 33-49=82 (4-2)
UCA 42-47=89 (4-2)

SHS/UCA

FGs: 41% v 44%
3s: 38% v 39%...made 11 and 10
FTs: 68% v 87% …..Bears +15 made....33/38
Rebs: 28 v 47
TOs: 9 v 22

Rebs and FT shooting saved this one as Bears had 22 TOs....Jones had a excellent 33/7 (although also 7 TOs) including 6/11 3s and 13/16 FTs....Bergerson was 21/7 with 9/10 FTs....Kayouloud a solid 10/5....nice home win....still....gave up 49 in H2.....Bears trailed by 6 in H1 then finished with 17-8 run to take lead into half...Kats then tied 52-52 at 5 minute mark in H2 ….took a 1 pt lead with 12 to go...and stretched to 5 with 6 to go.....Bears went on 8-3 run to tie then took the lead for good...……..and finished out 13-6.....good to have 9 made FTs to end game....

Tall task Wed at home vs SFA then onto Nicholls for the Sat game....really need to win at least one....Go Bears!!

So, I’ve been following UCA MBB from afar over the past 8 years. It’s obvious that they play a lot of money games and usually get beat. They’ve turned a bit of a corner in league play in the last couple of seasons. However, if you are a recruit, would you want to play that type of schedule every year and thereby almost guaranteeing a losing record year after year. Plus, how do you recruit to a losing record year after year. Not saying you need to play Hendrix every non-conference game but something with a little balance. Again, I’m nowhere near the program anymore but it sure seems like MBB is being fed to the wolves. Anyone know why such a tough schedule? Is money the only reason?

SLC as of 1/14/2020

Bears have wins over #4 SHS, #7 MSU, #8 TAMCC and #9 UIW with losses to #9 HBU and #12 UNO.....the two losses to bottom dwellers are killers.....14 points from being undefeated in SLC play....

SFA@UCA

SFA 37-40=77 (5-1)
UCA 37-39=76 (4-3)

SFA/UCA

FGs: 54% v 46%
3s: 44% v 37%..Jacks made 12 and Bears 11
FTs: 33% v 73%
Rebs: 34 v 35
TOs: 17 v 16

What a game.....too bad DeAndre sidelined....solid rebounding.....SFA +9 off TOs was really the difference....Bergerson had another excellent game with 19/4/4 and >50% FGs....Kayouloud also an excellent game with a 17/10 double double...Weidenaar added 16.....Koval had 8 but not sure why he was shooting 6 3s.....

Bears have so much upside.....this would have been a signature win but still should show what they are capable of doing....

Now to go to Nicholls and take this level play with them.....Go Bears!!

Really tough loss, hopeful that the team can rebound strong.

The team has obviously responded well to Coach Boone and the return
of DeAndre has been a difference maker as well. Too bad he couldn't
go last night...Bears might have got the win.

After a horrible start to the season, they have stuck together and are playing
much better...so happy for the team.
