[AZ BU Fan]

Anyone know yet if all the BU players and new recruits will be in Peoria all summer?

Will they be playing locally this summer on rec teams?

[Da Coach]

I have heard all the players including incoming freshmen will be on campus for the summer.
Don't think anyone will be playing summer league.

[AZ BU Fan]

Thanks DC.

This has got to be one of the slowest days on BF.com. No new threads started, and, only these couple of replies to existing threads...

Has there ever been a day with no new threads, or, minimal posts/posters

Wonder if most of the regular BF.com posters disappeared with the "Rapture" yesterday

I knew I'd still be around, 'cause I am an unholy, satirical, troublemaker

[Da Coach]

It is typically slow about now. The signing period is over, and we are into a recruiting dead period, so recruiting activity is going on and there are no new names to discuss.
Even the ESPN College Basketball front page has no new stories since Friday.

Such a depressing time.


EDIT: Except for the Cardinals dominating.

Iowa State plays in Italy as well. All the new transfers will get a chance to hit the court for some actual games.

LSU beat Elmec Varese (amateur club team) 87-62 to go 4-0 in Italy....with LSU holding a double digit lead early in the 1st quarter then Elmec never getting closer than 10 the rest of the way.
They still play two more games tonight and tomorrow..

Reach USA is now 3-1-1 with an 89-88 win over a Lithuanian team (Lithuania Atletas - an amateur D3 team) in China.

Yale has completed their tour 3-1 and are back -- here are their stats against the three teams they beat --
oddly they completely ignore the stats in the loss and claim these are the stats in the three games "in which stats were kept"!!
The rebounding adavantage is eye-popping -- 34 to 16 per game!!
