BU falls again

[it's boogie time]

Hard to believe UNI is undefeated in league play.

Nice to see BU win the rebounding battle.

This team can't put a complete game together. Sam actually plays a good game for once and Chris Roberts plays well who has been struggling and Warren and Taylor Brown combine for 4 of 19 with 9 turnovers!

Those refs were brutal tonight. Didn't call one thing against UNI the whole night.

Sam plays a good game for once????

Last 3 games before this one? 12, 21, 20.

Take off the blinders...

Still cannot be happy with the loss. This group has to find a way to play a WHOLE game.

I am not okay with losing.

I'm not either, but this is the kind of loss where I'm not upset.

Exceptional defensive effort. 20 turnovers killed them, along with a couple lame charging calls. BU outrebounded UNI. Great game by Sammy.

If we play defense like this every game from here on out, we win at least the next five games in a row. I hope this is the start of something good!

A very strong defensive effort by BU...I didn't think they had it in them. horrible 2 calls by refs last 2 minutes, especially on DSE, just inexplicable how you can call a foul there. If only BU could play with that effort every night. unfortunately, a 2 point loss counts the same as a 20 point loss. Our season rests with Saturday, particularly since MSU lost to Drake. A split with MSU really affects our chances of moving out of the abyss of Thursday night

Same here, though it's admittedly easier to take if we lose by 5 rather than by 2. But I have more confidence that this team will still be able to do some good things before the end of the season. Our schedule gets somewhat easier, so we'll see what happens.

Good point. I think that is the frustrating thing about the team. Hopefully, they can win one on Saturday

[Bravesfan]

I just wanna say...

Fire the coach.

Blow up this website.



Can we have 20+ threads started about firing the coach and blowing up this website?

Please!

Cause this website is the root of all the evil.

I say let's start a "Fire Weber" thread as Illinois almost lost a home game to Penn St. tonight!

Nice Effort!

Nice effort as a team, DSE needs to be on the floor much more and there are others (our self proclaimed leader) who seem to disappear in a tight game maybe they should give up some time for DSE!

[PTownHawkeye]

I am not okay with losing.

NO ONE is ok with losing, NO ONE...but are we allowed to be optimistic??

Why can't we look at the positives, the things we did well? We outrebounded the best frontcourt in the MVC. We played great D from start to finish...heck, their "game winning" shot was practically double-teamed.

There were some good things I (and most in the chat room) saw in this game that we haven't seen in a while, and I for one am feeling the best I have about this team in a while.

Who is our self-proclaimed leader? I honestly don't know who you're talking about. AW?

That's the most frustrating thing about this season. Not the talent, not the coaching, not tonight's loss, but the consistency. I'm not saying the players don't want to win, but they still need to learn that there is no such thing as an off night in this league.

I think though, tonight they learned a lot about themselves and good things are just around the corner!

Absolutely. The effort for 30 minutes was very good

No, that means we're drinking the kool-aid and defend JL when we shouldn't. Ya know, if we're positive.
