BU vs CU

[pfunk880]

but if you wanna go for a two (and maybe a foul), you've got to get going MUCH faster and not waste so much time.

Yes... I don't have a problem with taking the two down three late, but if you are going to do it you had better do it in a hurry. After Ruff missed the first we had virtually no chance.

I noticed the announcers watched the replay and Matt was fouled on the way up shooting and they didn't even respond?

Coach Les said in the postgame ***paraphrasing*** "The refs said we're gonna let those plays go, when a player has a clear lane to the basket. With the Salley play ... they obviously 'changed that philsophy.'"

Les never outright calls out the refs, but he obviously is pretty mad about a few of the calls that were made ...

phantom call on the floor.

i was at BWW and couldnt hear... thought the score was just wrong on the screen for the last minute or so, until we fouled.

safe to say this is the last game of year?

I hope Drake kicks CU's a$$. Although, If CU advances, and beats ISU in the championship, any chance BU sneaks into the NIT?

I think this season is over for BU. Time to start rebuilding and looking to next year.

[georgethedog]

No chance for the NIT. Are record sucks. If we had that record as a BCS school, we would get into the NIT, but not from The Valley. Wait until next year... or maybe even the year after that since losing Crouch and Ruffin will hurt A LOT!!!

[pfunk880]

It's over... like I said earlier in the thread, I don't think I'd want to watch this team disappoint us anymore anyways.

Let's start looking ahead because even if do make any postseason we'd in all likelihood be one and done.

Well this season just wasn't meant to be. From injuries to suspensions, i'm almost glad this season is over but hate to see Ruff and JC go out this way. Ruff had his worst game of the season and the bench once again didn't step up. Lets face it, BU would not have beat Drake tomorrow. Our bench only played 22 minutes between 3 players. CU didn't have one starter above 30 minutes. There bench outscored us 44-10. Congrats to CU on a hard fought game but I don't see them beating Drake either. Now it's time to wait another 8 months till next season, here's to the Cubbies winning a world series in the mean time LOL.

Just back to the hotel. And, of course, it's disappointing. But one thing I noticed, it would have been a lot easier for these guys to just go through the motions when they got down by 18 points, but they never gave up. I am proud how they fought back. If we would have had a healthy Andrew Warren, it would have made a huge difference. I think having a taller guard that could have defended their perimeter players would have made a huge difference. That was why we handled them easily at home, and struggled these last 2 games. Crouch and Wilson had great games.

Let's recruit some more depth, and hope we don't have the injuries we had this year. BU will be back next year.

The most disappointing thing at the end of this season was the total lack of depth after believing that would not be a problem before the season started!

Then the 2nd most disappointing thing was our low post play/philosophy...

Next year will be a long year.There is no way we can replace Ruff,Crouch,and Salley.

It was going to be tough to replace Dye and Roberson a while ago, but the team came together. I think we'll be fine next year. Hopefully a better finish than this year, and hopefully Thompson can be our Amare Stoudemire. If he can be effective down low, that would be huge! I expect Egolf to make a jump too. He would be a perfect 4 in our offense.
