BU vs ISU

[bu fan 9]

Warren is softer yet.

I think those who said we are "soft" hit the nail on the head. In fact, Singh may be the softest big in BU history, sans reggie hall. Has he ever gone up strong for a layup? I haven't seen it this season...not once.

At least with Reggie we would have had a game vs ISU.....those were HIS career games.

Thanks for your opinion of Bradley, but if we are going to play this game- my impression is a bit different. Bradley's talent is good enough to have been tied in the standings with ISU before yesterday's game (despite underperforming most of the year), and everyone except Chris Roberts and Sam Singh will be back next year, plus a couple recruits.
On the other hand- ISU is a senior dominated team. Every ISU fan expected this team to dominate the MVC, but it's just not happened. Osiris Eldridge seems to have taken a step backward, and often disappears in big games. The Redbirds get very little from the underclassmen - in yesterday's game the 3 seniors scored 51 of the 66 points. The underclass players were 6-25, and none scored more than 4 points, and next year's returning starters like Alex Rubin (0-7), and Jackie Carmichael (2-6) won't come close to replacing the production of those 3 seniors. The point guard of the future, Terry Johnson, has fallen so far down the playing rotation that he only got into the game with about 1 minute left when benches cleared. The "next great shooter", Justin Clark was scoreless again for the 18th time (he's only scored in 4 games all year), and he's shooting 17% overall, and 15% from three, which is his specialty. I like a couple other reserves like Tony Lewis and Kellen Thornton, and freshman Carmichael, but are they ready to replace Dinma on the inside? And among the redshirts- John Ekey, Bobby Hill, and Trey Blue, or the incoming recruits Kenyon Smith, and Jordan Threloff, does anyone really think they will make any difference next year? I have seen Threloff play, and though he has D1 potential, I predict he'll redshirt next year. Is it any surprise that despite being out of scholarships, supposedly Coach Jankovich is still recruiting or looking for an impact transfer?

FYI, the PG of the future for ISU is currently not playing at ISU. He'll be there next season.

Call it a hunch, but I honestly believe TB is gone after this season...

And where is he gonna go? He'd have to sit a year and that's not gonna happen with only 2 years left. TB has a lot of growing up to do, and he'll do it right here in Peoria.
