One thing you need to know......and could probably tell by the # of post I have........BU basketball is very important to me or I wouldn't spend 2 hours a night on this site looking for anything new on the Braves! Remember........the thing that makes this site different than most D1 fan sites is most of the posters are not college students......my son is going to BU next fall......BU has a lot of fans who have been out of school for years and really like our team.....this is our biggest sport in Central Illinois and that's why we average over 9000 fans a game! So anyway....I wouldn't tease you or make light of you and your best friend from HS.......I really enjoy your insight and input to the board!

Oh no offense taken. I know how big bball is in central Illinois and I must make it to the hilltop at some point.

Do yourself a favor and get on over.........watch AW play and see what the staff has done since last season .....losing 67% of the scoring from the SWEET 16 team and revamping the O' to match the player's we have! I think the Braves are still ranked nat'l 1 or 2 in 3 pt shooting......and I have to admit..I have started likeing it better than a dunk ........they have 204 makes this season already and the all-time school record is 224.......so avg 11 a game , it should fall in a couple more games!

Yeah the 3 point shooting is impressive its been mention several times on ESPN. I've tried to make it there a couple times now but school works keeps getting in the way. I guess I'll just have to settle for my 13-4 (4-1 in the Big 10) Hoosiers right now. The Hilltop certainly sounds like something I want to experience as a bball fan.

[it's boogie time]

He's getting playing time because he can play some D. One thing I've noticed is that he gets a lot of deflections, but not many steals. I think next year those deflections will turn into two points the other way.

AW has had the usual ups and downs that most freshmen have. It's easy to see his potential. To get playing time next year, he will have to improve. With Ray Brown returning, Williams arriving and Crouch back for his senior year, it's a crowded position. I think most BU fans are confident he will contribute heavily in the future.

[BuBraves55]

just another reason to play him over twy or at least more often- he can gain experience and twy has nothing to gain up for next year- plus hes better in general anyway!

[real fan]

A.Warren has played very well and the future looks bright for him; I was very happy that he chose B.U. as he has the talent to play just about anywhere.

Who else was seriously looking at and was Andrew considering...? Thanks.

[Da Coach]

Andrew's other offers came from Ohio, Illinois-Chicago, and Loyola. But Andrew verbally committed very early (Oct. 1, 2005), then signed in November, 2005, before his senior season.

I have heard he got some interest from higher level schools in 2006, but never softened on his committment to Bradley.

Da Coach is correct on his other offers.
I know the two big schools that came after him hard in winter spring '06, but I've never really felt comfortable divulging that information. But one of them is in the Big East and one is in the Big 12. I don't feel comfortable just telling you guys straight out, but I will tell you if you "guess" correctly. I will tell you this they were not slouch programs.

DePaul.......Iowa State?

[brebeuf1fan@iu]

DePaul.......Iowa State?

Nope. Bigger, better IMO.

[Big Mike]

Cincinnati.......Missouri?

[brebeuf1fan@iu]

Cincinnati.......Missouri?

Nope.

HINT: The Big 12 program played IU in the Final Four...and lost.

I was just going with the closest schools......I really have no idea unless it's Kansas St.........maybe Nebraska?

Unfortunately no. I'll give you one more hint and then I'll just tell you cause you've earned it I think you will get it now tho. The Big 12 team is known for fantastic hard nosed defense and the Big East team is known for playing great team offense and having fantastic ball movement.
