Braves in trouble

[brocks]

Inexcusable. I've been a big JL fan, but I'm running out of patience. Every year the same thing . . . we need a meltdown to wake up in time to salvage a three-letter tourney bid. That won't do this year. If BU doesn't wake up and get to the Big Dance, I'll have to say the same thing I said about Mo: once in nine years is PATHETIC.

Once again we can't finish....mess with the lineup that has bad match ups defensively. Miss a ton of free throws, fire a top assistance coach. This program is going in the wrong direction.

Too bad because I think Simms, Taylor, Warren are high quality players who we could build a team around....

what was the final score?

Another classic home loss against a weaker opponent from a bad conference by a team coached by jim les. That's the season folks. If we can't beat western carolina... Boy am i po'd. Maybe it should have been les to leave instead of merfield. 8th season... One ncaa. One 4th place finish in the mvc (highest finish). Another bad home loss.

And there are people on this board who actually think that bu is a premier team in a premier conference. Well, i got news for you. You are dead wrong. We are a mid-major or lower in a conference that is falling just about as quick. Bad, bad, bad.

Oh, if we get into the cbi or college insider.com or some other bogus post season tourney we can get to 20 wins again. Oh boy. My stack is blown.

Agreed. Especially your last part!

GTD..you couldn't be more wrong. Excitment is at an alltime high, the brand of basketball has the crowds going crazy, Carver was rockin tonite....3 twenty win seasons...3 straight post season tourneys......this program is headed to the top.....signing the best recruting class in the Valley....(should I stop now)

No cbi

No need to play in the looser tournys. We are either a winner or not!

[The BabyMaker]

i'd rather see us end the regular season/ MVC tournement with 20 wins and making the NCAA tourney instead of using some new tournement each year to get to the 20 win mark.

On the other hand, i do agree that there is a lot of positives to look forward to with the current team and the excitement level around the program right now couldn't be any better!

Couldn't agree more....I supported the first two thinking they were going to help us grow as a porgram. I will not step foot in Carver for any more EIEIO tourney's.

It's one game guys.......not the end of the world. Let's see how it goes the next few games before we get all excited.

I said after the Illinois game that one game doesn't make a season win or lose.

And if what I heard tonite is true then it makes sense that SM is gone ....

Let's see how we do after finals

Take something and get some sleep. It's just a basketball game

I plan on it...I'm going to watch the highlites. That will knock me out quickly.

Listen...I understand the relevance of BU basketball and sports in general. Once my real life starts tommorrow this will leave me but for now I'm in basketball mode and I'm going to vent how I see fit. Period.
