GREAT start & WIN... BU 57 siu 55

I still can not understand why people on this board thought McCain should be our point guard.

BU will win a lot of games only having 10 turnovers on the road.

I think any BU fan will take an ugly win in Carbondale. I wish the Creighton game was next.

BU is getting some good pg play all around lately by SM, DSE & EM. It drives this team.

I still can not understand why people on this board thought McCain should be our point guard.

Well in my case, in the preseason, based only on last season I thought of EM as the primary PG with SM getting more minutes split between the 1 and 2 positions. My reasoning for this is that EM is a better defender/rebounder and I think a little better distrubtor. SM is clearly a better offensie player and so depending on matchups and game situations you use both...

Unfortunately EM got himself into a big sophomore slump and SM got himself hurt and so we ended up with a PG crisis of sorts. Thankfully SM is healthier now and playing great and EM seems to be emerging from his slump and adjusted to a roll of playing around 10 mpg-- with DSE taking up slack at the 2 guard leaving EM fewer minutes.

Sometimes players play like "beanbrains" on the road...the key is "JUST WIN BABY!"

This is a game 2 weeks ago we fold tents and lose.

Today we fight through, overcome bad decisions and win.

Didnt hurt to have timeouts at the end of the game to help control the situation, environment and communicate.

When you play physical you often get the benefit of the doubt on calls. SM got that on his drive on the push late in the 2nd half, touch foul on the road but we get the call because SM played hard and is physical by holding his ground on contact. That call though was huge.
