Whoever provided McNamara with that info was incorrect, Bears trot out same starting line-up from the past two games. Triplett is dressed tonight.

Bears playing well. Anderson has 8 pets. Almost halftime.

Bears look solid out there, URI is loaded.
Anderson & Howard are both really impressive for freshman. Anderson had a really nice step back in the corner off dribble penetration and has attacked when daylight has presented itself.
Clearly difficult for us to get quality looks against athletes like this but I would anticipate the game slowing a little and our shooting percentage to rise.

Was a little surprised that so many Brown fans weren't thinking Anderson would even factor into the rotation. He's not big and it's gonna be tough to play him and Tavon together, but he can play...

10 and a half to go, Brown down by 3. Spieth with 17, Anderson with 13, Fuller doing his part with 10 points. Bruno giving Rhody everything they've got at the moment.

Held their own against a very talented bunch. Must be 10+ in the rotation. Good sign, but still a project. Did pretty well inside, zone kept URI off base.

Great effort. Especially considering a 24 point spread. Speith continues to lead. Howard and Anderson will really contribute as freshman. Fuller is quietly developing a nice game. Double figures and 7 rebounds again. Triplett adds length to the rotation. Martin has them playing aggressively and with confidence. This is a 24th ranked Ram team we played. A good loss the team can take a lot of positives from.

Really encouraging game. I guess Blackmon and Obi were/are sick. Speith has been incredibly impressive thus far. Staff giving a lot of different guys looks right now, I'd anticipate that shrinks as the games go on.
Holding out hope that Triplett can put it together, he brings a unique combination of size and athleticism that we don't have elsewhere on the roster. Fuller putting together back to back games of 10 and 7 is a very good sign - we really need someone to step up give us quality minutes down low.

Ah so Obi was sick. Yeah he didn't look like himself out there.
This was a terrific performance by the Bears. Outrebounded URI. And somehow URI shot 57 pct but Brown was still in it. A pleasure to watch tonight.
Brandon Anderson wowed me. I thought after that first game he was a little cowed by being here. But tonight he showed his full game and yeah, he apparently can play. Completely different player than we saw vs. Cincinnati.
Spieth was a man tonight. He has become that go to guy. I'm very impressed with what he's done to improve this much, and it is great to see him playing this aggressive.
Fuller too is showing something. Great minutes from him.
What's with Erebor? Conditioning test?

I knew I could get away from the Hillary-Trump arguments on the off-topic board and find some truly inspirational moral victory talk here after I saw the score. : )

Well, '38 Old Boy, I'm not sure comments that Brown played pretty well in a loss to a good team amounts to "moral victory talk". This is not the Columbia Board.
