In response to SomeGuy
Agreed SomeGuy. Games are 40 minutes long. The fact that we had leads did not guarantee wins against one of the top three teams in the league. The way the game is played now with wide open, up tempo offenses and a multitude of three point shots, it's not unusual to see big point swings. It's fortunate we played as well as we did to get the lead in the first place. There were definitely some positives to take from the effort.
We played played pretty good D in both games to get the lead and hold our own in most of the first game. It was a bad start to the second half and a heroic four 3's in the last few minutes by a top 100-type player to beat us. Last night we played well in 3/4's of the game until the home favorite, who is the bigger, stronger, and more experienced team, determined they weren't going to lose the game and drop two games in the lose column to H & Pr.
All league games are tough for the Bears in an improved league. At least we can look at the balance of the schedule and feel we have a shot to win every game. That hasn't been the case the last few years.
