This team has me thinking back to some of the better squads in my era that featured players such as Joe Graham, Joe Couch, TJ Johnson, Conny Johnson, James Dickey, Big John Hutchcraft, Joel Tabor, Rush Harding...….good mix of inside and outside.....….if only we had 3s then...……..it was hard to win AIC titles as there were good teams with great coaches....saw lots of great basketball at the old gym and new Farris versus the likes of Ouachita, Henderson, Southern State, Russellville Tech, A&M, Harding, Hendrix, Batesville College..........miss those days....
Today's Bears have certainly made good strides but still have a ways to go.......they keep improving over the rest of the sasaon and we (and they) will like the way it comes out...........wish I could get to more games and see our current den play.........Go Bears!!
Those were some GREAT players....loved coming to Conway on Monday or Thursday night watching those guys mentioned above. Coach Dyer put together some good teams in the late 80's and early 90's. Those were really good teams that made all of those trips to Kansas City.
It is so dang hard to compete at this level when you throw in the money games that programs have to deal with. I REALLY like this team. They play HARD, but like you mentioned they have trouble holding a lead. Lots of ball left to be played between now and early March.
If we can continue to improve, we could make some noise in Katy at the tournament. Will be fun to see what happens. Hope to see you at the remaining home games.
