BU-MO State in game thread

[BUBraves2006]

I think it's a new brew called "Delusional Light"...I saw it at Friar Tucks for $18 a case...They might have it in kegs, too...I'll go check it out and see...

It's more likely a wine, maybe of a rosy color?

I was really disappointed in the fact that it seemed like the team gave up in the second half. One thing Jim Les' teams can always be applauded for is that they always try hard until the end. But for whatever reason, we kinda packed it in with 8 minutes left or so ... I hope this is just a one game problem.

Dude...I don't know who told you that you couldn't stand and cheer. If it was some old f-rt then well that's too bad for them. I am all for standing and screaming and being passionate about the team the whole game. But it's painting with a real, real broad brush to lump people who are mad as h-ll about the direction of this program and care enough to donate, go to games, go to Vegas, go to events, go to viewing parties, and waste time posting on message boards with people who tell you to sit down.

I'm sorry if I don't "care enough" to donate, go to Vegas, or go to viewing parties. However, I do know that people tend to get mad if you try standing and cheering!

I agree. That's exectly what I thought as well.

I don't think any of our assistant coaches have missed even one layup, while we have four different players that have missed at least five that I can think of. That's TEN points missed at the rim!

Do you ever look at the post I am answering when I write or do you just like taking everything out of context to make your point? Go back and look at the post before mine. It was something about "How has it gotten this bad" meaning how has this team gotten this bad this year. My answer is we don't have good enough asst coaches to help the head coach with his deficiancies.

At least ISU only has 30 with 8 min to go in game!

Same here...

Just once I would like to see us experiment with different and taller lineups..
It couldn't hurt to try something different.......

Not the point shaunguth and you know it. It's not a p-ssing contest. People have different ways and means of caring. You were lumping me into the group of people telling you to sit down, which would never be the case.

Snell and Bish just hypothesized that DSE will start next game. I like that.

Same here...next step two bigs in the lineup a the same time.......

Over Sam?

I'm just not sure two bigs is going to help. Right now I don't see what we get with AT or SS on the floor with WE. In theory you might say more rebounds but those two are not delivering more rebounds so I think you get little or no offense, not much rebounding help.....

I think we will see some shake up but we will have to see who gets time. DSE will if he is in good enough shape to play much more at this point. Jake will get more minutes we will have to see who else.

Just a really crummy effort. Sad, disspointing.

In many ways you are right. But I think that we need to make wholesale lineup changes and I would like to see us try to play with some height which in turn could move some players into their more natural positions. This team isn't a team, it is a bunch of individuals running around on the floor trying to do their own thing.

[Braves4Life]

This team isn't a team, it is a bunch of individuals running around on the floor trying to do their own thing.

This team has the absolute WORST chemistry I have seen in a long time. It's not so much that we have bad players. They're like a puzzle where the pieces just cannot fit together.

***At least ISU is getting man-handled at home by UNI!

[houstonbrave]

Yeah, he needs to shake things up. 3 rebounds between AW, CR & TB is absolutely stupid. Those three should get more than 3 rb's falling into their hands without any effort-I guess they only got 3 without any effort.

My guess is DSE and JE get more minutes. I think CR loses some minutes and we'll have to see who else. Just not sure how many mins DSE can handle right now. A decent effort from WE tonight.

People say more mins for MK but his defense just looks really bad (and really bad for us is really really bad).

[SaintLouBrave22]

I agree with most...this Phoenix Suns garbage Les picked up will never work with the personnel we have unless he's just taking after the Suns in the fact that they don't play any defense either.

Changes really need to be made and we really don't have two bigger guys that deserve a start, but in reality, we don't have FIVE on the entire team that deserve a start anyways...therefore, I would start Singh, Egolf, Brown, Warren, and DSE...only 3 of those guys really deserve that, you can figure out for yourself who...

And for everyone saying well at least ISU is losing, what does that even matter at this point?! Our program right now is a joke and their coach has already done something in a very short time that after this season and 8 years our coach won't do, and that's finish in the top 3...all you are doing is sounding like Cubs fans saying well, at least the Cards lost to the Dodgers...it's just sad!
