Bradley Wins 65-56 over Iowa State

[ryeguy212]

Was anyone else frustrated with Salley's play? He got beat on the boards a few times, had a few stupid turnovers, and just didn't look very good out there. Looked like he was frustrated himself with the near fight he got into.

I just think that Mr Elbows #33 was getting into his head with the pushing-moving screens-and of course the elbows!

[Big Mike]

Maybe its just me.........but does anyone else think that the new President is into the game............

I liked the big pictures in the student section.

I think we need a 100 or so with Dickie V or the "Burger King"(that guy still freaks me out)

Warren took over for a strech of time, that was really good to see.

With about 2 minutes left in the game, it felt like the roof was going to get blown of Carver.

I actually thought it was pretty close to the announced attendance.

As for the game, it was good to see some D tonight -- and fewer whistles.

What was the the announced attend??

Good game tonight and a good win for BU. I thought everyone who got in the game tonight made a contribution at some point in the game. I thought the key play of the game was when T. Wilson got an offensive rebound to keep a possesion alive and then knocked down a three as the shot clock was running out. The crowd erupted and Wilson pumped his fist in the air....welcome to BU Theron!! Later on the postgame show with D. Snell TW said something to the effect of "I had a mental explosion in my head" ...(I about drove off the road laughing!)

I thought another key point in the game came about mid-way through the 2nd half. BU was flat on the offensive end and was on the verge of being "stuck on a number". Andrew Warren stepped up and scored on back-to-back trips down the floor. AW looked like he just decided to take over the game for a minute or two. Hopefully we will see more of this from him as the year goes on.

I thought Sam M. struggled a little bit tonight but TC-S picked up the slack. Sammy is going to be good but he has some learning to do.

Will E. was better tonight. The more I see of him the more I like his potential. He got a little to excited and air-balled a three when he was wide open. I think he will be knocking those down before to long.

Overall BU was not bad but we still got work to do...Let's go get em' Sunday!

GO BRAVES!

From what I was able to watch - it was a very enjoyable game.

JC was hounded the whole game.
TW is becoming a fave of mine (too).
I tried to think of OB's start to his soph year vs DC now.... still thinking, but I am very optimistic on DC.
T C-S should not have gotten a haircut.
I'd like to see WE and SM get at least 4-8 mpg regardless of what they are doing and who we are playing.
I feel pretty comfortable when SS is down low and has the rock making his way to the hole.

Maybe more later....

How did they do the intros? Did they still have the video, and the guys run from the stands? And the former braves pep talk?

[MacabreMob]

Yes... more...

AW... he did take the game on his shoulders for a little bit. I saw some (humble) leadership. He stepped up and took the challenge... and he delivered.

[MacabreMob]

How did they do the intros? Did they still have the video, and the guys run from the stands? And the former braves pep talk?

No. With like 5 minutes left before tip off on the scoreboard clock... they dimmed the lights and did some video. But as for the intros... the team was huddled in a circle with a spotlight on them... as each player got announced, they ran the inner part of the circle low-fiving and then busted out and made a trip around the 'ring-of-fans(kids) before going back to cnter court.

I thought the video and music was lackluster... but maybe it took me off guard cause I didn't expect to happen at that time (along with the fans).

[MacabreMob]

Oh... and yes... there was the pep talk in the video from the new Pres.

And that was what started it all... she came out to the floor and did a little shout-out to the fans. Then the video and introductions.
