Again???????!

[Bravesfan]

We outplayed them easily the first 30 minutes...the 3's were the only thing that let them stay close. Once UNI caught us, it looked like we had a couple possessions in a row where we kinda panicked. That allowed them to get the lead, and clinch it at the line. We were the better team by far the first 30 minutes.

Yeah, but you know what they say. It's a 40 minute game.

It's happened way too many times over the years ... seems like it's usually in the guts of the game, when the score is close. Unforgivable. And I disagree that we would have lost anyway. Someone needs to tell him we pay to see the players' performances ... good or bad ... not his bush league theatrics. Just when you think things are turning around ... who gets in the way?

Unfortunately for us tonight, yes it is.

[lake Camelot]

Well it only cost us one point. They had the ball anyway. But the players had to think here we go again. I know I did.

And he just showed absolutely no remorse on the radio and jokingly deflects all blame by saying he was good for one point. WTF? That's a joke coach!

I'm not the best lip reader, but when they showed the replay on TV, it looked like Les screamed across the court at the ref that the call was bull****.

That's what it looked like to me as well.

Didn't cost us the game, though. I saw the second half, and this was the first I had watched of BU since the ISU game. They definitely looked improved, but I agree that they panicked for a stretch late after UNI went ahead.

I fear he's starting to get a reputation among refs for this sort of thing. The trend is the problem moreso than any individual outburst.

You're right. In and of itself it didn't cost us the game. But I sure bet it doesn't do a whole helluva lot for the confidence of his team.

[AZ BU Fan]

BU gets a lead in the FH, then jacks up and misses three consecutive 3's and lose the lead. They then pound the ball inside, make layups and go up by 9. They miss jumps shots four consecutive times down the floor at the end of the FH while UNI makes their shots and lead gone.

When is this BU team going to learn it can't play with other teams by just shooting and missing jump shots in bunches while letting the oppostion run off a string of jump shots? Where was the defense they threw out during the last four games?

Didn't see/hear the game, but from ESPN Gamecast in the FH AW disappeared for much of the FH...How did he do in the 2H?

"UNI is vulnerable when they shoot poorly from outside, and had they shot poorly out there tonight, this game would have been over by halftime."

You could also say BU is very vulnerable whey they shoot poorly from the outside, and BU shot poorly out there tonight in the 2H.

Finally, rhetorical question, how does UNI find all these great shooters, and good recruiting BU can't?

I just don't think some of these refs like him....... AT ALL! He comes across cocky, whiny, arrogant, and is always b!tching and moaning. Come on man! Pick your spots coach!

Actually it was 3 points. Ahelegbe missed the first tech FT, which would have been the 1 and 1...he then made the next 3. Without the tech, he misses the 1 and 1, and as long as we get the rebound, we give up 0 points instead of 3.

I'm tired of opponents getting career highs on our home court.

C'mon....just admit it.....that technical cost us the game. No way we lose this game if that technical never happened. Everyone knows that!

[Majik45]

The T is inexcusable, 3 times this year late in the 2nd half in a close game.

Oh, and we made adjustments Chi-town, we went to a zone against a hot shooting 3 team in the 2nd half. Then we played some sort of hybrid zone where half our guys were playing man and half our guys were playing zone, looks like they had never practiced it before. Then we started switching all screens late in the game, something I've NEVER seen done by a Les team in 9 years, which allowed great match-ups like Alhellegba on Egolf.

[BU RICK]

I thought things went south very quickly after the technical... Without the technical, we had a chance, it changed the mood of the game, players and fans. You know, here we go again.

And now we've got this to look forward to

Tennessee-Martin won at EIU tonight 73-54... by 19 points
And they earlier won their home game with EIU 63-62

Remember the problems we had EIU's very complex triangle offense?
