Braves win 67-65!!!!

[real fan]

Finally we win a close one at home , wish coach would quit slowing our offense down with 4 minutes left in the game as we run the shot clock down and get bad shots , it seems some of our players get tight and are afraid to take a big shot, Andrew Warren needs to get back on track as we need him to start playing up to his full potential in order for BU to be more successful down the stretch.Sam Singh did a great job on the boards tonight .

They mismanaged that bad at the end. You have to call one after the 3.

And you definitely call one before the inbounds, throw it to halfcourt, and call another one there. That was the textbook double timeout situation.

I disagree with us calling a timeout after their 3. A timeout gives them time to set up a better defense. We are tied...work the ball around and the worst case is you go to overtime...got 2 decent looks with one going in for the win!

[Da Coach]

Josh Young is one tough kid- it looked like he lost a tooth on the floor, and continued playing the rest of the game. Young kept Drake in the game in the 2nd half, as Wedel did the first half.

AW seems to have lost confidence in his shot- I hope it returns soon. Sammy, Will, TB, and SS were great tonight, and DSE really played well, too. And Chris Roberts made 3 huge threes that made a difference.

Attendance 8,670.

Yea... surprised Young wasn't bleeding profusely. Also surprised he wasn't using a mouthpiece for protection. Later, I believe I saw blood on Roberts shorts.

But seriously - if Young lost a tooth, why wasn't he bleeding badly? Or do quickly jabbed-out teeth not bleed?

[Da Coach]

The blood on Chris' shorts was from a cut on his elbow that happened when he inadvertantly hit Young in the grill. He needed a bandage for that.
Young did bleed a little from his mouth, and went out of the game for a very short time. But he quickly returned and I think he played the rest of the game. The tooth was recovered, and it can be replaced in the tooth socket, and usually reattaches if done within a few hours. I suspect they are seeing a dentist tonight for repairs. He'll need a root canal later to remove the nonviable tooth pulp, but the tooth should be salvageable.

Thanks DC.

He should skip the reattachment and just go for a Gold Cap/Plug and be done with it.

The drummer for the student band rushes everything. The songs sound poor. Alumni drummer was better.

lol i know one of the drummers....i'll pass this along

I know one of the drummers and probably the same drummer you know Future. I may be mistaken but over break for the alumni and friends band, wasn't it a couple of drummers just rotating, including the same people that play when school is in session? Maybe it was just a bad night for him.

[DeltaBrave03]

What is the deal with Roberts though? Lately it seems like he can only make a dunk or a 3. He is athletic enough to get to the rim, but he just cannot finish when he gets there.

Sounds like he's got a case of Tyrone Cole-Scott syndrome , but in all seriousness it's got to all be mental, perhaps he's expecting contact and when it's not there he feels out of balance. I don't know, but it seems like the whole team outside of SM and DSE always has trouble finishing at the rim.

[bigdaddystuck]

Not happy with CR missing the bunnies...but felt that he didn't really press the issue and did hit 3 big shots from behind the arc! And as always played some good D!

No, I was saying Drake was the one that should've called that timeout right away. I'm surprised they let the end of the game play out that way.

Ouch! Sounds painful! Well at least I know I'll be fine if I ever lose a tooth.
