BU 71- CU 82 final

[real fan]

The Will Egolf experiment is over. It is time he plays like a man under the rim. If he can't play and be somewhat of a presence consistently, we can't win much more. Might as well play Stix. Let's see if he can do anything.

For whatever reason he seems to fly under the radar...maybe that's because there isn't much else we've got. We are one good big (Diema Odiakosa) away from being a very good team...

Let's see if we can find a good juco for next year still...

Egolf is undersized and not a true center, we are one good big man from winning this league but I have not heard that we are in line to get this type of player and we will struggle against the top teams in this league without a true center.
Taylor should be back in the starting lineup friday and we had better figure out a way to stop the wide open 3 pointers by Creighton because that is why we have lost now twice to them this season.

I would like think TB has earned his starting job back after today!

[Dubl R 1]

I don't know. Two games the Jays have torched us on 3's.

Eastman has stepped up big today!

I kinda meant the reason we we have to go to the zone some to protect our bigs, especially when Egolf is out, cuz Singh can't handle Lawson. I know what ya mean though. The reason we are playing zone is that we have no solid center.

I would force Lawson to get 40 to beat us, it seems like when we double up on him it allows everyone else to get going, and we still can't handle Lawson anyway. I say let Lawson get his, and stick like glue to everybody else.

If WE could get away with a fraction of what refs let Lawson get away with he'd be All MVC

Will was on a very short leash from the refs tonight for some reason. I posted earlier that all 5 fouls were pretty cheap.

[Big Mike]

boxscore....
WE.. 7 mins....0 rbs....4 pts...5 fouls
SS...24 mins...1 rb.....4 pts...2 fouls
this shows me what our #1 recruiting priority should be for this team to succeed!

Defense was just not there for most of the day. And as we saw, we need to get help down low. Hopefully JP can fill that void or we pick someone up in recruiting!

Let the count down to departure for St. Louis begin!

...Or hope that Jordan Prosser adds a lot of muscle and weight by next season. (in reference to Big Mike's post about recruiting needs)

[BuBraves55]

O played well today, D did not. That's all.

[Big Mike]

I have high hopes for JP....but WE and JP are more 4's in D1 than 5's.....we need a real 5 like a Stutz or anyone big enough to hold some ground in the paint! Plus if JW still comes , he is more of a guard/forward even at 6'9 ..so we still need help.

Yep......

According to DC, AW is sick. He posted earlier in this thread. The good thing about losing this game is that this could be treated like an extended time out. We all know how good JL is coming up with something out of time outs haha.

Except when we're on defense.

I see what you mean. I mean, Will and Kenny are similar heights according to the rosters, but it looks like Kenny has 15 more pounds of weight on Will.

That weight makes all the difference. WE in order to make up for that either has to have cat like reflexes or super human strength. Right now to hold his ground I'm sure he is using his hands a bit more. Lawson also maybe using his arms and hands but because he is bigger it appears less apparent like a foul. Those are the little things that go into a game plan at this level. We'll pound it in and see if we can get their big in trouble quickly. Oh the reffs are calling them tight, better yet!

It was more of a joke but still giving credit to JE and TB

SFP, DC was right. AW was very sick..In the 1st half he sat for a while due to almost becoming sick.... Told him to get some chicken soup and lots of rest before Fri.
