Sounds like just another lie coming from the Hilltop.

If it's not one thing with Ruff it's another this year. Unreal.

Well, at least he got a chance to play at least one more game in front of the fans to make up for missing senior night. But let's hope he'll be fine for another game on Monday night.

By the way...

I want everyone to know that my post is sticking a fork in the local rag and their drive-by media editors... not The Hilltop, Coaches, Staff, etc.

I imagine if Ruffin plays, and plays well... Tuesday's headliner will be how the Day2Day was misleading (on purpose) in their opinion from Bradley only because Bradley has nothing but a bunch of liars.

Hey aren't we ALL "day to day"..... Personally I think we can beat Ohio with or without Mr. Ruffin. I'd say unless he's darn near 100% rest him for the "Thanks Disney we have to go on the road" game where he will be needed much more.

With that said....get well soon DR....

I'm also thinking we can win this game without Ruffin, especially if Warren produces and TCS gives us quality minutes off the bench. I'd look for Jeremy, Sam, and Theron to all play closer to 40 minutes than they did against Cincy.

I know this may not have been stated yet, but the Civic Center is OPEN for the date on Wed the 26th for a Semifinal home game...the Disney crew isn't getting in until the 27th...

So this may get some more ppl excited about a possible victory

I think this has been discussed and if I'm NOT mistaken they need the day before to set up. Again I THINK thats the problem.....anyone?

KK has said publicly that BU cannot host a semifinal game. I'm sure they probably explored every scenario.

[BUBraves2006]

This is probably one of the dumbest scheduling mistakes I've ever heard of ... how could you possibly book up an arena when the possibility of an NIT or CBI home game could be played on these dates? The dates have been known for quite awhile. I'd be shocked if "Disney" would draw better than a BU game. But the PCC has that right, so whatever. This leads to a bigger question ...

This is multiplied by the fact that maybe BU should have used its collective brain and not ripped up the Fieldhouse before the basketball season ends. You're going to tell me that leaving the seats in an extra week or two would completely throw off the construction schedule? Honestly.

To be forced to play on the road is just plain stupid. Let's hope this is just a one year mistake and never happens again for any BU sport.

The time schedule for tearing down the field house and the target date for opening the new facility is very tight, which is why they wanted to get the seats out. From what I understand, BU "hands over the keys" to the demolition company in April so BU wanted to get out all the stuff that it wanted before the demolition folks came in.

[BUBraves2006]

Oh by the way ... check ticketmaster. You can still get close seats on any of the first few days of the "Ice Show." So, they've likely sold 5,000 seats MAX ... which would certainly be less than a BU game.

If BU wasn't "handing over the keys" until April, then they certainly could have waited past the last regular season home game to tear stuff up. You're going to tell me it takes that long to disassemble bleachers? BU doesn't have the manpower to do that? Sounds like a really lame excuse to me...
