Journal star had a headline that his BU career was over. I didn't read it, but I thought that would include St. Louis. -
I would agree....I don't think Taylor will get to make this decision. If it were up to him he would try to play.Originally posted by Da Coach View Post"Losers find an excuse...winners find a way" - Joe StowellComment

I hadn't seen this, but here is the article from the PJS from this afternoon-
"I talked to my parents about it and decided it was best to not risk it. So I'm going to shut it down for a few weeks. I have to think about my future."
The decision means Brown will not play in next week's Missouri Valley Conference tournament in St. Louis.Comment

That's why I love the Valley! That's Peoria fans for youOriginally posted by tornado View Post
It's funny, that number is still bigger than the attendance last year I think. We're smashing the Attendance record with the game against Michigan next year IMO. I WILL be there.
... At the end, of the storm, there's a golden sky. And the sweet silver song of the lark. Walk on, through the wind, walk on, through the rain, though your dreams be tossed, and blown. Walk on, Walk on with hope in your hearts, and you'll never walk alone!

Not quite as big a crowd as last year's BU-ISU game. Last year the attendance was 10,592 . But last year's game was earlier in the season, and was not senior day, which probably drew a few extra fans. But it is very encouraging to see this kind of crowd when the average attendance this season has been down over 1,000 per game.Originally posted by BUFanatic View PostThat's why I love the Valley!

Am I missing something or did Donavan Stewart red shirt?"You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take"Comment

He did not redshirt. He played briefly.Comment

Getting back to the game, Bradley missed a bunch of layups and bunnies, and shot only 30.5% for the game. The effort and rebounding were great, but it's easy to see where we need to improve. Walt was 7-13 from the field. The other 7 players who played were 1-7, 1-6, 4-14, 2-6, 0-3, 2-6, and 1-4. 18-59 overall and 6-19 from three.
If we get any one of those 31 missed shots to drop, and many of them were very close to the basket, maybe we win the game.Comment

I've been very impressed by our defense the last few games, despite our weaknesses inside. I'm also very encouraged Walt the last few games taking over on the offensive end, despite him missing that FT at the end (don't think you could blame him for losing though as the number of bunnies we missed were many as you elluded to DC). Very few rushed shots and bad passes by him today as well. And most importantly I am glad to see he did not panick when ISU made their run.Originally posted by Da Coach View PostGetting back to the game, Bradley missed a bunch of layups and bunnies, and shot only 30.5% for the game.

I am also encouraged by SS and JC of late. If they can cut down on the sloppy plays, they will be very good in the near future.
I am concerned however by JP, JE and DSE as they seem to have regressed somewhat. Now I know they can play as they have had good games in the past. But I think they need the offseason to reflect a bit on what they need to do to become more consistent and be more mentally tough. JP in particular needs to be more physically present on the defensive end as he just seems lost there. But I think they will all be better next year.
We need some better shooters though before we can even think of getting out of the cellar. I'm hoping for 5 or 6 Valley wins and a few close wins instead of close losses all the time. That would be a step in the right direction.Comment

I would agree with that.Originally posted by ph View Post
If we just improve on that next season, we will win at least 4 or 5 more games.Comment

Great effort from everyone who played. Kept hanging in there all the way through the game though it seemed at times we couldn't hit the broad side of the barn. Wanted: Shooters. Just a word of advice for our guys. It's okay to use the backboard on bunnies and layups. With no Taylor it'll be a tough road to hough against Drake but if we play with this kind of effort we can, "Git er dun". Should be a great tournament. Hope to see some of you in St. Louis.Comment

I am a big fan of Donivine and I think he did everything asked of him this season without ever complaining - and was unfortunately not rewarded with much playing time....Originally posted by Naptown24 View Post
BU's fans were also unable to see a good young kid who has worked hard and will get to play some day...Comment

Scoring is going to be even harder next year unless some guys make quantum leaps.
The only returning player who had an acceptable shooting percentage this year was Walt Lemon.
From 3, Walt & DSE both made 35% of their shots. 40% would be better, but what they did is ok. Jake and Shayock should both consider taking fewer attempts, as neither of them made 25%.
I'm very interested to see how Crawford and Shayock progress.
I believe that DSE will be the only returning player who shot 70% from the free throw line, also unacceptable.Comment
