Cato out for the North Alabama game. Gonna be a full on feast for the Lions tonight unfortunately.

MountainBear

Did anyone say why? Insane how many players have been out

Jmb3125

MountainBear Haven’t heard anything. Just the ESPN crew mentioned he was out.

MountainBear

Cato still out. I’ve never seen a team this injured.

Jmb3125

Definitely a pretty bad season for injuries. And on top of that, the Bears shot a red hot 25% in the first half. SMH…

t22

Any clue if we’re gonna be short handed significantly again tonight?

MountainBear

Current injury list (2/13)

Fagbemi (Back spasms-not sure when he’ll be back)

Ty Robinson (out for year-leg injury)

Javion Guy-King (NCAA rules infraction, out for year)

Tyler Lee (Meniscus injury, out for year?)

Layne Taylor (Out for year with Labrum tear)

Elias Cato (Hamstring strain, don’t know how many games “Back soon”)

Big Nemo turner has been balling out though. He comes back and we have a solid big.

Yes, awesome game! Bears came back from 17 down at half to get the win. 👏

MountainBear

Good to see that Cato is back. Loss tonight but if the Bears can beat West Georgia in a couple weeks, or bag at least 1 more win I think we make the conference tourney.

MountainBear

Big wins by the Bears put them in control of their ASUN tourney chances! With Cato back, and the team gelling I could see us picking up some wins down the stretch.

PS: Anyone know why Mike was out?

MountainBear

Looks like Ethan and Mike were out with injury.

Gutsy win! Cato back, so out are Robinson, Lee, Taylor, Guy-King, Taylor, Mike, and Thomas. Hopefully Mike and Thomas are back soon.

I swear our guys are absolutely allergic to guarding out on the perimeter. Opposing teams always rain 3’s against us. Been that way all season. 🫤

MountainBear

Yes you are correct! Per Barttorvik.com, we allow the 2nd highest of 3pt attempt rate of the nation (52%), and also allow the 5th highest in the nation 3P% at 38%. Not sure if it’s personnel or scheme but it doesn’t seem like a recipe for a good defense.

Jmb3125

I understand that coach Schulman is more offensive minded, which is good. But how hard is it tighten up a little more on the perimeter?

I think that could have turned a few of our closer losses into wins, IMO…

MountainBear

A lot of it could be freshman inexperience and a brand new team. Calling out screens and switches is harder snd getting lost on D is more common in freshman. But, the data shows our team got better offensively throughout the year and worse offensively. We also had to go deep into the reserves and play Dehrmann and Thomas, not the best defenders at this point of their career.
