Red out

[daveineureka]

It would be awesome if we get near a sellout for the game tomorrow. Being in CBS Sports, let's give a national audience the atmosphere of the Civic Center and every body wear red. Let's get loud and rowdy and send the Dogs to their 3rd loss in a row. Maybe even some potential recruits will watch the game and consider BU when it comes time for signing on the dotted line. GO BRAVES"

I think with the game being at 6 we will not get as many fans for this game that the team deserves. Hope to be wrong because this is a big game for us.

HUGE game tonight - I think if we win, we continue to ride the wave and win the Valley without too much trouble.
Is the game an official RED out??

I hope you're right! I have a bad feeling about this game considering how we've played the last 3 games and the fact that Drake has lost their last 2 Valley games. They are going to want to come here and prove they're for real against the current MVC leader.

My hope is that we get out of this 3 point shooting slump and start hitting them like we were earlier in the year, along with playing some solid defense. Either way, I'll be there! Hope to see you all there, too!

Let's go BU!

We need Atlason to break out of his slump. We also need refs that do not call touch fouls tonight. Rebounding will be very important tonight and we cannot give drake second chances on the offensive boards.

Last time Drake played at Carver vs Zek, we handled them to win the reg. season title. He will have an impact to lead the Braves to break out of our slump vs the Bulldogs.

So do you think Zek will be defending Stirtz?

So do you think Zek will be defending Stirtz?

The whole team will have to defend Stirtz. They run him off constant pick and rolls, even when he gives it up, he usually gets it back and runs right back off a ball screen.

So, depending on our strategy...do we want to fight over the screen, go under the screen, or switch. I imagine we will switch, so that means hannah, Atlason, and CD will all get their chance on the switch...have to watch for Stirtz's hesitation move off the screen, and his playmaking ability...a lot of times they well run a diver or back cut off the wings at the same time Stirtz comes off the screen...so wing defenders can't get caught sleeping or staring at Stirtz....need to be alert.

We may go under the screen at times being Stirtz hasn't been that great from 3...but IDK if wardle will like doing that or not.

Worst option is trying to fight over the screen in my opinion...leaves you open to Stirtz getting downhill as well as the roller sealing off his man and getting a rim run.

I think some zone may be effective as it would take away their motion, and they havn't been great from 3....also I'd like to downright double team Stirtz, and force them to run the offense thru somebody else.....but IDK if Wardle wants to go there either.

Must stay at home vs Mascari...I would not leave him at all cost.

Great breakdown, Dubl R. We need you on the staff!
