What we are missing right now

After all the hype about Austin, why isn't he even getting some playing time? He has to be as productive as MS.

Was it really that much better? They scored 42 points in the 2nd half, and shot more FT's in the 1st half.

They did score 42 pts in the second half, but about 8 or 9 of those were frome the foul line in the final 90 seconds as we were only down 1 with under 2 minutes to play. So they basically were held in the 30's during the second half. I don't know if the refs were terrible in the first half or if BU was hacking that bad, but when they shot 12-15 ft's in the first 10 minutes it not only put BU in a hole early, but really caused us to play tentative and forced us to sit Theron for most of the half. Either way, we can't afford to have something like that happen, and expect to win. It was a remarkable second half effort, and I guarantee if we play like that for 40 minutes, not to many teams could match BU's offense and depth. Also, it sounds like Jeremy was horrible in the first half. 0-5 from three plus many, many turnovers.

MI State is similar to Vanderbilt. Big down low and not great outside shooting. In fact, they win most games at the line just like how Vandy did with us. They don't score a great deal, mid 60's average and have decent D. If our 3's are falling and the turnovers are average then we win by 5. If it's turnover city then forget it. Being a home game and more than likely a packed, rocking house, that is a definite plus. I'm more worried about the Butler away game than MI State.

Michigan St will be another tough assignment for Crouch defensively. Raymar Morgan, and or the freshman shooting guard they have will be a tought cover for Jeremy.
