Did anyone else feel like we should have went for a three and the win instead of Maniscalco driving to the basket for a tie? I kept thinking about Rob Dye's three to win at Redbird and I envisioned Sammy doing that for the past few days.
I found it very interesting to listen to the ISU postgame on our way to dinner. Champ Ogucci commented on how if his back would have been better in Peoria it probably would have been a different story. Highly unlikely IMO. He didn't seem to do that much today. After ISU's play by play gave kudos to Theron Wilson, ol' Champ said, "He creates a lot of problems for most teams in our league, but I did a great job on him." Nothing beats giving yourself props when your man scores 17 and pulls down 9 rebounds. Oh yeah, and he referred to BU as "The Bradley".Go small or go home!Comment

I didn't mind the attempted layup, I thought it was a good enough shot that just didn't go down. Last year I think we take the 3, no question.Originally posted by buballer82 View PostReturn to GloryComment

Great game today. Very good effort by both teams for 40 mins. Intense, emotional, loud game that came down to the wire---just how the War on 74 should be. I thought both teams left it all on the floor today. My heart skipped quite a few beats down the stretch, but that's par for the course in a game like this. Each of us won at home again this year, not surprising. Also hats off to the strong and noisy contingent of BU fans that made the trip today, you guys definately made your presence known on more than a couple occasions.
Great college basketball game for sure, and it's games like that which prove beyond any doubt that BU/ISU is the best rivalry in the Valley bar none, and one of the best in college basketball, especially when both teams are successful & fighting at the top of the league. 2 games each decided by 4 points. If we meetup in STL for round 3, that will just be insane.Comment

No, he is the consummate team player, but today the game plan called for him to imitate Osiris Eldridge.Originally posted by DannyCooksey

My hat is off to the ISU fans as I was very pleased that they cleaned their act up, all but the paper plane act.
As for the game it was a very hard fought one, with great effort from SM, DD and TW. As for SS, CR and DC where were you guys
I never seen so many back door dunks
I thought back doors were ment other things
There is no team in the the MVC that can match up to us the whole game, if our bigs come to play! BU will win the the MVC this year!Comment

Champ Oguchi was nowhere on defense yesterday. I watched him on theron and he went for every single head fake and ball fake possible. I noticed it pretty quickly as did Theron and TW just was able to go around him easily....they needed to give Champ so much help D almost every time theron was w/in 10 feet of the rim..he'd be double or triple teamed. We play them in STL the game plan should be to find a way to make a one on one with Champ because you will win that battle. Either he doesn't care about defense or he's just terrible at it....too slow...honestly that's what it was...he was not quick enough on defense.Originally posted by buballer82 View PostComment

No. We beat you handily in PTown. If it weren't for a couple desparation 3s that didn't never even got the lead below 4 points, it would have been a 7-12 point victory, which no one in their right mind would say is "barely" a win. You "barely" beat us yesterday because we had a 1 possession game in the waning seconds, and we could have tied the game to force a final possession.Originally posted by DannyCooksey
However a win is a win, my hats off to ISU. I'm only commenting on this issue b/c I'm quite unhappy with the result of a certain football game tonight, and am in the mood to argue.
Nothing personal
