Braves Win 80-66

[Braveman]

Obviously our best effort of the season.. Sounded like everyone helped out- another pretty good effort by WE...

[bluedevils1]

The way we have been shooting this season, it looked like we would never get above 70 pts. Good win BU!

[chitown fanatic]

A very solid all-around performance...light years ahead of Monday's! I may eat my words on Egolf- he looks like a very capable man in the middle!

[Stryker]

I agree. Hopefully this performance translates over to saturday's game.

[ER3]

Great contributions from Norris and Brown tonight off the bench.

Egolf was solid again...he just needs to avoid the silly fouls so he can stay on the floor longer.

Roberts was much better tonight.

Maniscalco played well through some obvious pain...

Singh had some good moments as well.

It was refreshing to see BU actually throw the ball in the post tonight. This has to continue if we hope to free up things for the shooters on the outside.

Nice to see some adjustments from the coaching staff over the past two games and some growth from some of our young players over the past two games...Hopefully, that is a sign of things to come...

Let's find a way to play a solid 40 minutes at home on Saturday night...

Way to go guys! Great win! It looks like that UMKC game may have been the wake up call this team needed.

This tournament has turned out to be a great success after all, at least in terms of some growing up. Egolf has developed into one of our better players, and the coaches seemed willing to shake things up in terms of personell and offensive strategy. This is something they have to keep on top of since it still will take some time for everything to gel. But I liked our tenacity the last couple of nights following that UMKC loss.

I take it Collins and McCain did not see much action again? And let's hope Sam M. can shake whatever is bothering him because we're going to need him this year!

Sam M foot scares me. These things can linger.....see AW.

Positives...WE arrival. Young guys continue to get playing time. Yet to play with AW and a healthy SM.

[it's boogie time]

What a turnaround from earlier this week.

[jenny71]

What a win. They all help out tonight.

Did Will Egolf = Turnaround?


OR did Coach just finally figure out who his players are and what players to play together...


I am very impressed w/ Darian Norris and Taylor Brown as Freshmen...and even Edge shot the ball well these last two nights...

Great toughness by Theron these three games as well as Sammy gutting it out throughout this tournament...really gotta hand it to the birthday boy as its obvious he was really hurting down the stretch...

If it weren't for Dodie, we wouldn't have had such a great start...10 of our first 14 points I believe and played a great all-around game...

Sam Singh had a nice solid effort, which is what you would like to expect after a bad game the previous night...

And how can I forget "Mr. 2nd Half" Chris Roberts...really...just give him the ball down the stretch of a game...he proved he can hit the big shots and more than that, he will make his free throws...I mean did any of them hit the rim at all?! I thought I was watching JC form for a minute...


The backbreaker....the trey by Darian Norris w/ close to 10 min remaining in the game...Richmond was still keeping it close and had cut it back to 4 until he drilled the 3 and they would not get any closer...That kid reminds me so much of Will Franklin its scary...the best difference, we get him another 3 years


Lastly, I would like to give credit to Coach Les and his staff for doing what needed to be done to get this team turned around...he made adjustments and everything is paying off nicely....GREAT JOB COACH...


Oh, and before I forget....Happy Birthday Sammy Maniscalco, Happy Birthday Amber Les, and Happy Birthday Mr. Sauve Sam Singh(tomorrow)!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone...Lets get back at it Saturday night!

How long does it usually take BU-tv to get the games from Live to On Demand? I couldn't get home in time to catch tonight's game & would like to check it out.

[Fyrebyrd]

I think Versace said it best tonight on the air about Will. He is a 5, and they tried to hard to make him into a 4. Let him play his game. He has showed exactly what he can do as such

[dogsrus]

And what did the fans learn from this week.....not to get TO low or TO high this year. We will have more bad losses and a few good wins. Lets just hope we keep getting better and learn from every game.

Don't mean TO be a jerk, but it is too high or too low, not TO. Sooo many people use "to" wrong, almost as much as there is used instead of their. However, you are very right. This is a young team, and people were panicking after the Platteville game and after UMKC, but we will go through very high and low stretches this year.

I've been away from a computer and radio for about 2-3 hours. Did I miss anything?
