Longest its ever taken for a postgame thread to pop up...

[Da Coach]

It took me a while to get home. The roads are treacherous, and many major roads do not appear to have been cleared or salted yet. I hope everyone got home OK.
BTW- anyone is free to start a postgame thread.

Hope everyone made it back okay... It took me a good half hour to get back to Morton. Roads were horrible and getting worse!

Also... LOVED Egolf's intensity towards the end of the game. Took two excellent charges in a row and really showed some of that "toughness" we've talked about. I think that was a mental spark for this time that will be overlooked.

Also, are we back to the Eddren McCain that dwindles leads? Didn't keep track for sure but it seemed like we lost a big chunk of our lead with him in...

The 4 guard lineup worked at times tonight... because we MATCHED it up with Indiana State's three-point shooters. Sometimes, it has its place

[jeffsu]

I DEFINITELY heard some boo'ing and "directed" yelling... about the time Eddren was playing poorly and had a big turnover... but I didn't hear much else where I was...

[Da Coach]

Indiana State has some decent 3-point shooters, but they were unbelieveable tonight.
Before tonight's game:
Rashad Reed was 22-67 (32.8%)...tonight he was 5-10 (50%)
Koang Doluony was 5-20 (25%)...tonight he was 2-3 (67%)
Jordan Printy was 19-47 (40.4%)...tonight he was 5-9 (56%)
Aaron Carter was 3-8 (37.5%)...tonight he was 3-5 (60%)
Carl Richard was 4-15 (26.7%)...tonight he was 1-2 (50%)

Indiana State's three point shooting tonight: 16-34 (47.1%)
That is the most three pointers ever by a BU opponent at Carver.
They were only 12-30 (40%) from two point range, and 28-64 (43.8%)overall.

Yeah I'm mixed on will ripping crowd. Tge crowd was weak but we needed to get that home win. I never will boo Bradley but will needs to know that dominance at home will make for a good crowd.

Here's two posts from Will off Twitter after the game ripping the fans:

oh well, looks like scrappin off your car early was worth it... since we got the W... FOR NO ONE BUT US FELLAS!!!

SAD when your grinding out a "W" at home, in the MVC, and your crowd boo's you... haha first time I've been a part of that...

I was there and never heard a boo during the entire contest, just a lot of gasps and cries of "here we go again!'.

I wish BU did not allow Twitter accounts for players. This is a nice slap at US, the fans.

[BradleyJD]

I can't deal with his comment "For no one but us fellas". Pretty selfish and unappreciative of the thousands who support him and his team. Sounds like something Milton Bradley would say.

Agreed....I am glad I am paying money to be slammed by players on a free ride.

Great! That means the snow is approaching us here in the Chicago area shortly. Nothing going on at this moment, but that should change within an hour or two.

Great win for the Braves although it wasn't pretty. Hopefully though the team gained some valuable experience in learning how to win close games tonight.

The crowd didn't sound too bad on the radio especially during the overtime, but maybe that was mainly the cheerleaders. Hopefully some were standing and cheering when the team needed it the most.

Yea, it really motivates a fan to come out and cheer knowing at least this person does not care about winning for the fans who support him.

Sure, he wants us to cheer for them to help motivate them, but he wants to win for the team only. That's using us (the fan) for personal satisfaction. Not a very mature attitude.

Agreed...I thought the crowd that stuck around was very supportive tonight considering that the team gagged away yet another double digit second half lead.

where did my post go?

[jeffsu]

I understand you're all getting at the "don't bite the hand that feeds you" type of message... but...

I don't see how Will is entirely in the wrong here. YES, they blew a big lead, but he's expressing that he's never been boo'd before and that its surprising to him. And that its disappointing. I think a lot of people here agree. Not that anyone doesn't have the right to boo (you do, you paid for a ticket, do what you want!) but it should also be disappointing to the team.

Wouldn't it be worse if they LIKED getting boo'd?
