Next game: BU vs. Wofford, Sunday, Nov. 22 at 6:05 pm
I am excited to see the team in action this Sunday against Wofford. I will have the best view of the action I have ever had, since my dad scored VHB's seats to the game for us. Hope TB shows us what he is capable of doing.
Tonight I'll be doing some "advanced scouting" as I'm going to the Drake vs. Iowa St. game here at the Knapp Center. Go Bulldogs (unless they're playing Bradley)!!
I can't believe the Drake/Iowa State game is basically a pick'em according to Vegas. Iowa State beat Idaho State by 20 and Chicago State by 22. Drake lost at home by 6 to IUPUI.
Am I missing something? I believe Iowa State should be at least -7 going into this game.

Really makes little sense to me, even with Josh Young I would expect Iowa State to be favored. I hope I am wrong and Drake can play good enough defense to pull this one out. I guess the figure a few points for home court, but then Drake was home when they lost to IUPUI.
Drake senior Josh Young, the team's leading scorer the past two seasons, is questionable for tonight's game because of a hip pointer he suffered in practice last week. Young sat out Saturday's game against IUPUI and Sunday's practice session.
"Any type of twisting movement, any type of movement at all that involves your torso can cause pain," Drake coach Mark Phelps said. "That's not an ideal situation for a basketball player."

Wofford looks to be a formidable foe, BU will have to shoot well from the perimeter and the foul line.
If Wofford has scouted BU in their first two games, my best guess is they will attack TB and try and get him in early foul trouble...When he is sitting out, my guess is they throw various zone defenses at BU, cut off the driving lanes, and challenge BU's guard heavy line up to beat them with outside shooting and try to control the boards...
Plan B would be for BU to try and establish some kind of inside game vs zone, or pick and roll in the post area...
Wofford won despite getting only 2 points from Junior Salters, perhaps their 2nd best offensive player next to Noah Dahlman (11 points).
Also, Brad Loesing, possibly their best shooter, was scoreless. It appears Wofford is a much deeper team than expected.
The mere idea that we will lose this game(and it is a strong possibility) goes to show how far we still have to go as a program. when the also-rans in an exempt tournament scare you...that's not good.
