Outcoached.

[Garland 22]

He didn't come in to an already built program though, so it would take some time to build and with the gradual process we aren't back there yet but I think we are getting there with a bright future. So yes when taking that he came to the program while it was "in a bad stretch" yes it is to me considering the circumstances. And no I don't think 8 years is too long to build it before you ask.

Eh...You do realize there was an NBA player on the roster and 3 Juniors who played in the MVC title game as Freshman, right?

It's not like he inherited the SMS mess that Martin got, or the mess that Gregg Marshall inherited at Shockerville.

I was unable to see the game tonight, but after reading about the poor officiating I looked at the box score. BU shoots 25 FT and Creighton shoots 12.
The foul disparity was similar. Just curious what was so bad about the officiating?

The refs ALLOWED Creighton to hit 12 uncontested 3's against BU....dang those refs!!!!

I still wouldn't say the program was solidly built, like it is not like he inherited a team coming off a bunch of NCAA tourny bids. Also it takes time to get your own players so they buy into your system, plus Granger transferred that year so I don't count him

The 12 3's were not uncontested. About 3 of them were, rest were competently defended-- guys, the defensive effort was pretty much there tonight.

fan-- the refs were bad because of what kind of fouls they called. There were two just absolutely ridiculous charges. One where there wasn't a player even in front of our guy going to the basket-- The CU player literally laid out across the back of our driving player, and somehow that was a charge. There was about a 9-pt ref-related CU bonus tonight-- and all the calls were by the same guy (not sure who it was, will have to check statsheet later).

I absolutely cannot wait until we overhaul the entire coaching staff so we can turn this thing around and knock off a couple of the top teams in the country on our way back to the Sweet 16. Those were good days!

It will happen sooner with a new regime than it will with this one. I'd settle for just knocking off some mediocre mid-major teams at home for starters.

Sam Singh led both teams with 7 rebounds filling in for WE in the first half. He also played good defense on Lawson and his help defense was good.

Les was fine in this game. The zone defense is silly, but they also don't usually make that many 3s. Some of it is bad luck.

Just jump already.

SS played good! He was not getting the help on Lawson that Will was getting in the second half. Lawson had only 2 points on Sam and only 1 rebound. Sam was boning up on him real good! Lawson pretty much had his way with Will and that was with help,to!
It's to bad that we couldn't play Will at the 4 and Sam at the 5! But because AT has not put forth a effort in 3 years, we can't count on him for any min's. to help out at the 5
BU will NEVER get to the top playing players out of position and playing Small

Let's not settle for anything less than an NCAA appearance! That's what it's all about, right? I'm sure it'll happen as soon as we get rid of our coaching staff.

Ya it will definitely happen sooner with a different regime considering it didn't for 50 some years with all the other regime's anyway. Even with Hawkins in the 80's we didn't make the Sweet Sixteen.

I'd settle for a conference title first. If it's not all about the NCAA's, what's it all about? The CBI? The CIT? It can't be about the NIT because we fired the last guy because he went to too many of those.

[Braves4Life]

Is one of the worst 8 year stretches in program history acceptable to you?

You must be young BB. That's just crazy talk. Do you remember the 70's?

[Braves4Life]

..... and Les WAS NOT outcoached tonight! Maybe if he had dressed and come into the game to hit a few open 3's we would have won. We lost because we could not hit enough shots and CU had a hot hand. We won the hustle stats...... but I guess Les gets no credit there either.

[BradleyBrave]

You must be young BB. That's just crazy talk. Do you remember the 70's?

Yes, I do. I said 'one of the worst', not 'the worst'. Can you name a worse decade than this one as far as league record goes? Can you name a worse decade than the 2000's and 70's? Are you proud to say this is the worst decade in 30 years?

I completely agree that it is all about the NCAA tournament!
