[Braveman]

Wow- I am shocked that BU whupped CU like they did... Oit hustled, out boarded- hit the threes... good game

Also- Indiana State now 12-1 at home, beat the Redbirds 76-72

What are the chances of an isu-BU matchup in the NIT? That would be fun!

[ser_solace]

very shocked in the score differential myself.

I didn't get to see it. Too bad. Would have been fun to watch. Sounds like a great all around game from everyone.

[DUBrave5]

Good to see that we can finally get a lead on an opponent and put them away instead of letting them back into the game. Great Job today BU.

WOW... I was at work and forgot to turn on the radio... Maybe I should do this more often.

If you're in the Chicago area, there's a replay of the game scheduled for 3 AM tomorrow morning on Comcast Sportsnet.

Great to see all of those three's going in with ease today. They will need a game like this again if they have any shot of beating Drake on Tuesday night!

[Big Mike]

Now that was fun....a complete game with no let-downs! SM really turned the game around IMO....he had a nice night.....AW was very solid before leaving the game with what looked like a finger or hand injury? JC and DR had solid games with DR getting 9 assts....3 short of Billy Wrights career total as a Brave!:The bigs did their job today....best total game this season IMO!

[Da Coach]

Just back from the game.
Total domination from tipoff to final buzzer.

The big men played great, hustled, got a lot of rebounds, and tipouts.

Everyone else played great and the shots were falling. Creighton got no easy baskets. Booker Woodfox is quite a shooter, and kept the score from being an even worse blowout.

[Rusty 54]

YES! What a win. If we play like we did today then a tournament championship is within our reach.

The only thing I am worried about is Warren, it looked like he hurt hiis hand and left the game, went to the locker room, and never returned.

[houstontxbrave]

Fox gave the player of the game ot Woodfox, even with us blowing them out and JC having a great overall game. Poor choice but whatever.

Very good job of rebounding, Altman at the half time interview stated that we scored 15 of our points off of offensive rebounding.

Very good to see us put our foot, so to speak on their throats and not let up at all.

Overall, other then the missed free throws in the first half maybe our best overall performance of the season.

The only thing I am worried about is Warren, it looked like he hurt hiis hand and left the game, went to the locker room, and never returned.

I just spoke to a friend of mine who's dad works with Warren's uncle and he just said that Warren has a broken finger. Don't know which one or anything else, he said he'd get back to me with more details.

First, congrats to BU on just an all around great TEAM game. The only really bad news was the Andrew Warren injury. He went out midway through the second half with either a hand or wrist injury and never returned. JL still didn??™t know his status in the post game show. Matt Salley was having problems, too, but I believe it was just cramps. On the subject of Salley, that was absolutely the best I??™ve ever seen him play. He was just a monster on defense and rebounding. Speaking of monsters I wonder if the Bluejay player knows what hit him yet on the Sam Singh screen.

The broadcasters commented in the post game show about how good our passing was. I have to disagree to a point. Our kickout passes for a three are not spot on. They are left, right, or low. As such our shooters cannot catch and shoot in rhythm. I THINK this affects JC??™s shooting.

In an earlier thread we discussed D. (don??™t ask me to spell it) Stewart. Although I didn??™t see him at the game I did see some Limestone players and adults. I believe one was Sumrell. Are we recruiting him? Also in the house was Shaun Livingston. I guess he got his tix from Ruff.

Anyway, great game. We won big and we didn??™t sit back and try not to lose, but stayed aggressive. Now we have to take care of business against Drake. BU, do NOT look back, but look forward. Go Braves!

Dave Snell stated on the post game show that Warrens injury is on his left non-shooting hand.

On the subject of Salley, that was absolutely the best I??™ve ever seen him play. He was just a monster on defense and rebounding.

While there's no denying his defense and rebounding today, I would like to see him make some layups on the offensive end! He shot 25% and his only points came on a dunk. Other than that, he had a very good game.
