BU falls again

[Bradleyguy10]

We play better against better teams....

maybe we should play duke, UNC, Kansas, & kentucky all the time

unfortunately, Warren played his Houdini act tonight (similar to his soph year)and Brown joined in as well. Egolf also had his worst game as a brave...truly awful. It would be nice if all 5 starters showed up consistently.

We give up 6 straight points to start the second half Every game this happens We don't give up these 6, guess what, we win
Great game for SM Best effort of the year from SS

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.

Disagree. Don't fire the coach. Don't blow up this website, Coach does a great job.

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.

So am I. We play like this on Saturday, and we win against MSU. And if we play like this the rest of the way, we can still win most if not all of our home games this year which would add greatly to our win total.

But first things first. Let's beat MSU Saturday!

Absolutely. The effort for 30 minutes was very good

Wrong game...the effort was good for 40 minutes. At what point was the effort not there?

The execution however was lacking in stretches, but that happens to nearly every team, every game in a defensive battle.

We are consistent only in our inconsistencies really.

The effort tonight, plus being at home might get us one Saturday

Sorry for having my opinion.

Yay, that sounded like optimism!

And UNI doesn't give up all those points at the end of the first half and they win by 10. So what's your point?!

Don't really see anybody say that you couldn't. So feel free!

This was most certainly our best defensive effort of the year. We also competed harder in this game than any other since the Illinois game. Hopefully we can bring that kind of effort for the rest of the season. Offensively other than attacking the offensive boards we committed way too many unforced tournovers and AW and TB forced too many shots. This turned out to be a winnable game and after the poor effort against MSU thats a step in the right direction. I wish we would have played the last 14 seconds differently. We should have gone to basket and forced them to foul us instead of keeping the ball outside and waiting to move until it was too late. Very predictable inbounds play that was covered up by 3 guys. TB should have found the open man. If we can ever put both ends of the court at the same time we could have something. Let see what happens from here.

No I'm interested too, what 10 mintues was the effort lacking? Execution I could see, but I'm curious on the effort.

I felt that we started a little slow out of the gates letting them get up 8 early. Made a nice comeback to close out the first half. Started slow again in the 2nd half and than had to fight our way back the entire 2nd half, falling just short. Overall effort was good, but we did have periods of some problems.

That is exactly what I was saying.
