There’s one thing the Bears have going for their cause on Wednesday… Kansas probably has NO IDEA what to expect. I hope the Bears try something surprising, and play relaxed and loose, like they have “nothing to lose.”

That’s a move I hadn’t thought of, putting Franklin at the point. Ah, maybe Mike is just a little smarter than me. We’ll see how it turns out. Thanks for raising the point, JF. I was sitting so close to the court that I could see and hear all the conversations on the court/bench. But in doing so, I couldn’t see the flow of play, x’s and o’s the same. I think I like it back up a tad higher better! Say, row 6!

I was a little bummed to see Carter didn’t seem ready for his moment. He didn’t look to score a few times he was open. Then he went in and was fouled and let out some frustration yells about something. I’m not sure what. It’s hard to know when to be assertive and when to defer and let the offense flow, I was thinking. Then Franklin received a pass and immediately fired a quick long distance 3, and made it. It was a contrast in styles.

Really nice to see MSF coming along the way he is. I thought he was the man of the match!
