A gutty OT win. CK, Blackmon and Okolie were great, and Spieth, the glue guy, missed the last 4 minutes and the OT. He did have 21, with his Bro. in the audience.

Good to see the Bears finish one off here. I feel like they left a few potential wins on the table @Harvard and (home) Columbia.

Spieth finally letting it fly from deep. Just shooting it does wonders for the offense as it sucks out one of the other teams bigs, as we have him at the 4 spot. Would like to continue to see a heavy dose of Triplett the next three games, just to see if he can get the light bulb to go off. He is just a superior athlete compared to other options on the wing. Its clear that he gets lost sometimes when he is on the weak side (which I am sure drives the staff nuts) but Hobbie and Haber, while they do provide value, struggle defensively.

To echo Old Bear - CK, Tavon, and Obi were terrific. CK is so much more effective when he doesn't put it on the deck. Obi is going to be a star.

Hopefully we can play Harvard tough tonight with another chance to win it at the end. Sat a few rows up behind the bench last night and it was good to see the kids engaged - which can be a challenge within itself as March approaches.

Bears have more than a shot tonight. McCarthy didn't play for Harvard last night due to concussion. Harvard anticipated having 3PG's, and now has none. No ball movement.

Tavon et al. were effective in Cambridge and could be devastating in Providence. Even Zena seemed out of it last night with 3 first half fouls. Zena played 12 minutes and Cummins 19. Amaker playing out the schedule? We'll see what he does tonight.

Who is the 3rd missing PG (i'm thinking of Chambers and McCarthy).

Frascilla. Not claiming he'd put up big #'s, but he can handle the ball, opening up SG's. Amaker used him to back up McCarthy in first couple of games until he tore his ACL.
