Postgame- BU 56 ISU 52

[real fan]

Great win against a very good opponent, I thought our good start was important as I don"t think ISU believed that we could beat them tonight, they had a hard time against our defense and seemed to take a lot of ill advised shots, Roberts did a great job of guarding Eldredge as O made some deep 3 pointers even though Roberts had a hand in his face.
This team has really gotten better over the last 2 weeks and needs to keep working hard and be ready to take Creighton down on saturday night. Hopefully we will have another sellout .

GREAT crowd. Fantastic game. Good job Braves!! ISU brought a few people but they had very little to cheer about.

[Big Mike]

I think we have an atheletic team and isu also has one......I think we were more atheltic in person than on tape and isu was surprised soemone could run and jump with them as easy as the Braves did it!

Where was Champ Oguchi? 3 pts? Not sure why he didn't play more?

MORE FREE WINGS!!!!!!! Can't believe we've had two winners already - and there are plenty of chances for more!

Champ looked really bummed out on the sidelines too, it looked like someone had shot his dog or something.

What happened to Champ???? Really...Can one of you Redbird fans fill us in. I'm not a fan of his but the kid usually straps them up and plays.

I heard Champ was ailing from back spasms.

hey! we got some espn time on the deuce a few minutes ago.... they showed the bu/isu highlights

[Out of Bounce]

Let's be honest here. We were better than ISU 2 years ago and have gotten better recruits than them the last two years. We were bigger and more athletic than them and it really showed.

Does anyone really doubt that BU has the better team?

I think I know someone who has been calling to go big for sometime.

JL made a great coaching move when he put CR back in the starting lineup (6'5 verus 5'. He is playing great and has helped the play of TW, SS and DC.

How effective 5 minutes of playing time did Taylor Brown give us? WOW!

13 Brown, Taylor....... 2-3 0-1 0-0 2 2 4 0 4 0 1 1 0 5

If you look at the Production Per 40 thread and the Adjusted Prouty Ratings, you'll see it's no fluke!

What is better than beating ISU to go 4-0 in conference?....Watching Kurt Pegler(sp?) have to report it on WMBD!!

Hey - what was up with the out of bounds possession coming out of a media time out like at the under 12 mark? ISU and Bradley both thought it was Bradley's ball... but they gave it to ISU. I heard Higgens say that he called "it off of White (while pointing at White and their possession/bucket) and it is Red ball (so then switching and pointing to Red's possession/bucket)". But that was AFTER the time-out was over. Coach Les didn't know it... and I don't think Jank did either.

Great game by everyone on BU, and fantastic coaching job.

So is that 10 fantastic coaching jobs this season and 5 bad ones?

I think we just got hosed there.... I did like Jank's Magic timeout/not timeout...

I hope DC comes to play on the road also. I've never given up on him and I believe we will see more improvements come March. SS what a man! Made some big plays again when it mattered. We are winning because our big men are playing well and we are getting them involved in the offense early.
Who has it in their signature if we go big nobody should beat us, or something like that?

Lets See? I know who

Actually, I think all 15 were quite good.

Had to work and missed the game but hopefully they'll get the replay up on BuBraves.tv (and then I'll actually buy the package ).

I have to admit, I predicted a loss to both ISU and to Creighton. I was wrong.
