I went through both games against Creighton to find the +/- points while any given player and combination of players were on the floor. Then I calculated those numbers on a "per 40" basis to put each player/group of players on the same scale.
According to what players have produced against Creighton this season, I wouldn't mind starting the highlighted players below.

You should have an asterisk next to AW because he was pretty sick out there on Saturday. I feel pretty good about Friday's game. DSE will not play as bad, we may not see JSE score as many as he did but the other guys who had a bad day will make up for it. Frankly scoring was not a problem, our defense was and that can be fixed IMO."Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

You also forgot that Sammy had only 3 points, and he's not had consecutive games like that since the beginning of the season.
I agree about DSE, but it seems like everyone continues to make excuses about AW...
This can be bulletin board material, I don't care...
How about this...
When is he going to actually play two WHOLE halves?!

Seems that BU teams that win in Arch Madness do not tally up a bunch of points, but defense has been the key.
Also, big runs contribute too. Last year, BU had a couple good spurts where they found ways to score and then made stops (vs. SIU).
We just can't allow CU to go on big runs, as they did 2 years ago, and have done twice to us this year.

Originally posted by SFP View PostI'm not making excuses for him but most players would not have suited up on Saturday if they felt like he did. I did hear it from a very reliable source that he could barely eat. I also wish he was a bit more aggressive but do we have anyone that can fill his shoes where opposing teams cannot double up on the post and leave them alone like him. SM is the other guy but after him there is no one else. After a year of not being able to play ball at all I believe he is playing pretty well. I do expect much higher level of ball from him though next year.
I just still get the feeling with Drew that he feels like he can turn it on and off whenever he wants to, and plays at half speed sometimes...
I'll say what I was getting at with C-Rob in the other thread, IF everyone played with the heart, intensity, and energy that Chris leaves out on the floor every game, this team would be top 3, regardless of the coaching.

I'M FIRED UP!!! I think we will get the WIN on Friday.
I don't believe a team has a tough time beating another team 3 times in a year. A much better team should always win.
But that is not the case here - We will match up well with Creighton. Will = Stay out of Foul Trouble!
GO BRAVES!!It's not Business, It's Personal

For those interested in such things, here's how each game turned out for +/- points per 40 for each player/combination of players......
