BU 72 - UE 71

[Dubl R 1]

HEY dogs........we watch MW when they played here 2 CC......and he hooks his elbow every time he goes to the hoop and he sets moving screens all night long and we always seem to get called on the moving screens....MW for some reason does not?

That's exactly what I was screaming at my wife.
I will be gald to see him graduate. I actually hope we don't play them in the tournament.

Yeah, Webster and Falker NEVER get called for illegal screens, and rarely ever get whistled for traveling or offensive fouls. Webster will hook or travel on about 95% percent of his catches. Also 9 out of 10 dentists reccomend sugarless gum for those patients who chew gum

Lets not forget, that some of the NCAA committee may give us an edge also after getting to the sweet 16 last year and putting up a better year this year. Figure, if they did it last year, they might be able to do it again this year. Everyone loves a cinderella team.

Hate to spoil your dreams but each year stands on its own. Last year (or any past years) has no bearing on this years field.

You know, I know that every year stands on its own, or is at least supposed to, but it certainly doesn't hurt that BU got to the Sweet Sixteen last year and crept into the minds of potential committee members. This is like when lawyers in a trial will say something out loud that is inadmissable during the trial just to get it to the jury's ears. The judge will strike it from the official record, but its too late, the jury heard it and will take it into account. Even though the committee isn't supposed to consider past performances, you can't tell me they don't, otherwise there is no reasonable justification for the higher seeds and questionable tourney invites some of these schools seem to get on reputation or past performances. All that being said, I think the thing that will keep us out is our lack of a "quality" road win and the fact that MSU and CU swept us in the regular season. We have to beat VCU, and probably need to knock off SIU in STL to get real consideration.

I know, I just kind of contradicted myself there at the end, but I still say that by getting to the Sweet Sixteen last year, it at least puts BU on the radar of the committee and if it comes down to BU and someone else with similar credentials with less success in recent years, I think BU's finish last year would help out. Also, if Wichita hadn't gotten to the Sweet Sixteen last year, people would have really stop considering them about 4-5 losses ago, but I think last years success is keeping them in the mix.

man i am glad that i didn't have the opportunity to listen to the second half! i was shocked to see the Braves only win by 1 point! kudos to the Aces to come back in the second half when it looked like BU was shooting lights out and such. The Aces I see ended up with a good number of boards, so i'm figuring they outrebounded Bradley in 2nd half.

either way happy for a W, lets go get em sat nite!!
