Zone is nice, but, IMO, the key to tonights game?
REBOUND-REBOUND-REBOUND.
Southern seems to have a yo-yo on the ball. They miss a lot of shots but, the ball seems to immediately head to the nearest Saluki. Its amazing, or maybe positioning? I do not know, but it drives me crazy!

Even though we won, them Dawgs out rebounded us 36 - 21. There is no excuse for such as difference.

The only thing I can say to that Mike... we missed a TON of shots. Salley, Ruffin, Warren, and Adams combined for 4-25. If we had made some more shots, maybe they wouldn't have had 25 defensive rebounds.

Yeah, that did play a part in how many rebounds they had. I do agree with grassman though, we win when we rebound, at least we have to be within 5 boards. I just hope they dont turn into the phoenix suns on us. It seems like whenever we go someplace tough on the road, the other team has a career offensive night on us.(missouri state)

The decider for tonight is getting the shots to fall. When the shots fall, we win. When we can't get the ball through the hoop to save lives, we lose.

And no more one and dones. Please?

Generally when I'm at the games, we get more excited about our boys getting a rebound than we do them getting a layup. That says something.

I love the part...

Braves,
I love the part about the 11.5 turnovers. Coach Stowell
has always said that if you make 5-7 a half, you have taken
pretty good care of the ball. Those 11 rank us in the top
ten nationally. We all hate those times when we flat out beat
ourselves. I can go into each game this year knowing we can
be beat but knowing we won't flat-out give it away.

Oh boy, I don't think i've seen a team shoot worse than the Braves tonight. 42% or so on the season for 3 pointers and barely pushing 10% from outside tonight. Over a third of the 3's were open shots and missed all of them. Over 10 that I know of. I just don't get the horrible shooting on the road, especially TV games. Well, have to win on out now or else have to take the Tournament. Least BU played good D but disappointing overall.
