Final: Utah 68 BU 60

[real fan]

I said a month ago when we got a big man project I wanted a shooting guard instead but everyone on here was ok with a big man. In the college game you have to be able to shoot the 3 well.

You have to have good post play in order to get your 3 point shooters open shots, without good post play the defenders can stay out on the perimeter to guard instead of having to give help defense inside , J.Crouch would struggle to get good shots on this team.

I seriously doubt AT is going anywhere at this point since he has already redshirted a year.

I also bet we'll need him this year at some point where he will play significant minutes. Of course unless we do play 5 guards.

I know you are just kidding
Last night we started WE and JP, were down by only 3 points 10 to 7 and Jimmy replaced both on the bench and the next thing I knew we were down by 13
Yes we had AT in there with 4 guards, BUT Lets face the fact, we have guards that can not shoot or play good D Our guard play is just as bad as our big play, maybe worse, considering there are more of them and they get more playing time We are in some BAD DO-DO here Only thing that we have going for us, MAYBE, is we are in one of the weakest and a crappiest conf this year

I have been pleased with AW on both ends of the court this season (though I've only seen 2 games). He is definitely better than last season, his intensity has increased, and we should give him credit for starting the season out the way he has. He's not goign to be a defensive stopper, but he has held his own I think. I know his FG % is not great, but there's a lot of pressure on him.

+1 and he did grab a few rebounds and took a few charges!

Are you saying BU hasn't needed AT so far this season?

Seriously, in a game where BU played like a HS team, he gets 3 minutes. He isn't in JL's doghouse, he is in JL's outhouse.

It is starting to look like a WO guard is going to get more minutes than a scholarship senior.

If he has enough credits to graduate next spring, and if he doesn't get any PT this year, I can't understand why he would stay. Unless he wants to use his scholarship to complete a graduate degree.

We seemed to be afraid of Utah's 7 footers to take the ball inside, which we need to do since we really don't have a shooter outside of Warren. Near the end of the game we just dribbled into their big men, and that's when we made our runs. It looked like we were intimidated out there and that it was every man from themselves. I'm surprised Dodie isn't shooting more than he is with our offense lacking as much firepower as it is now. And now Walt looks like he can't hit the broad side of a barn with his shot. We got him to be able to take the ball to the hoop and finish and he isn't showing that he's capable of doing that to me. I don't know, it just seems like it's going to be a long season. I hope someone else besides Warren can figure out that we need points and step up their game so we don't finish below 8th.

Just the really confusing part to me is that aren't all these guys suppose to be DI players? It was like it was Andrew Warren and a bunch of role players. Unacceptable. I hope next years class can actually play, otherwise I wouldn't be surprised if we see Les out the door. Ok, I'm done venting. Go Braves!

He'll have to play for when JP and WE both pick up 2-3 fouls in the first 1/2 quickly.

If you are corrrect, and AT finishes out his eligibility next year playing behind WE, JP, AND AD, will have to come up with some new kind of BU Team award for him (AT)....

I'll have to give this some thought ....
