BU 74- Idaho St. 69

Braves win a close one and lose DD for the season.....nice start to the college career for DSE though!

[FutureBrave2013]

DSE is going to be very very good.

Bradley has a lot of work to do.

I was pleased with the shooting.

This team is better than last year's. They just need to start playing like it.

[Big Mike]

If we can get something out of the 3-headed monster in the middle(pts and rbs)....we can compete!

Agreed. With AW back we can shoot the basketball. We just need better rebounding and TB back.

Will continues to progress...he looked good tonight..

Like that isolation play for CRob.....game turner!

Well, we get Brown back but now lose a great outside shooter for the season. Brown will solve most of our inside D and rebounding issues, now lets hope that DSE or someone steps up with the lost outside shooting.

Singh & Egolf were just killed on the boards tonight, this would of been an easy 15 to 20 point win had Brown been in there and racked up his 8-12 boards a game. Probably would of solved the layup drill that Idaho State was running on us all game long. Probably 80% of their points were within 4 to 5 feet of the hoop & layups.

Still gotta work on the FT's, missed another 8 tonight out of 25 attempts.

Alright, everyone, lets not go overboard with this close loss, they have a whole week to work DSE into a main role and Brown comes back in for the boards & post D. Lets see how they do against Wofford, who gave Pitt a close game.

Oh I forgot, SOLVE THE DANG MOVING SCREEN VIOLATIONS!!!! Half of our turnovers were moving screens.

This wasn't pretty but I'm optimistic. If the team progresses like it should I like our chances come conference time. Everything is rough around the edges right now but the potential is definitely there.

Losing Dodie is a huge bummer, on the bright side DSE looked great tonight.

[jasonpeoria911]

Man i'm forgetful tonight LOL, does anyone know what section those dang kids sit in that scream while were shooting the FT's? I heard them tonight and heard them during the radio broadcast of the Lewis home game. It sounded like they were in the lower bowl in the mid section behind our bench. I'm not sure about the players, but they were seriously a distraction.

I think they were 11-22 from 3 pt range tonight!

[Big Mike]

I think they were 11-22 from 3 pt range tonight!

I'll take 50% from 3 anytime!

I'm really impressed with live stats this year, a lot closer to the great BYU CBS stats..!

While the moving screens continue to perplex me ONE that SS got in the 2nd half was an absolute joke. It was directly in front of me and he was set. PERIOD. It wasn't even close and the ref that called it was out of position to see it.

We are NOT a physical team at all.

Milos should redshirt......

DSE earned a start......


6th place Valley seems correct...maybe a bit high unless we get some production down low.

Heal quickly and come back strong next year DD......

I HATE Sunday games.......what a joke. I THOUGHT the reason was to get better refs. Ha Ha......well it ain't working IF thats why we played today.
