BU 68 tulsa 73

this game was fixed. there is no way the gazelle group would let this one be decided in two games.

Lol, made the bradley rim a couple inches smaller

I think that was one of the worst officiated games I have seen this year. It seemed everything down low for them was an and one and we could not buy a foul in the middle.

Props to Tulsa on a hard fought game. They really killed us on the offensive boards and took it hard inside for some easy FT's. Our 2 biggest weaknesses all season. Gotta give some props to BU though, they managed to shoot about 45% in a near sold out away game that sounded like a hostile crowd. Lets hope we can pull out the win here at home and see if things can go different on Friday. A 5 point swing isn't much to change around in our favor.

We will regret this game

The game was there for us to win. We just didn't do some things we usually do well.

when is the last time the Braves shot F/t's that bad...could have won the game with that and stopping all the O' rbs by tulsa!

Ruffin an 84% FT shooter on the season managed to go 3 for 6 tonight. Whats the odds of that.

the moving screen call on MS that lead to a JL T' was a terrible call and the nba extra step and dribble after the foul counting the bucket was also terrible!

[real fan]

Poor freethrow shooting, rebounding and officiating did us in, we can beat that team if we play our game.

Props to the BU fans in Tulsa, I could hear the Go BU chant numerous times during the game.

[MacabreMob]

We need to learn from this and move on... take it to the next game. And I like our chances in Peoria.

So learn some more and move on... take it back to Tulsa and....

Let's win this thing!

[Big Mike]

I see no reason the Braves can't beat tulsa on the home court wed!

The main impression I got from watching this game was that it looks like someone wants to guarantee this series goes 3 games.

Ditto that DC. Thought we got jobbed time and time again by the team wearing the black and white tonight.

I'd also like to give DC (David Collins) some props. We were a different team when he was in there - I like the hustle I saw.

MORE PT FOR DC!!!!

If we would have pressed the majority of the game it could have been a blow out.
Why did we stop pressing at the end.

[Bradleyguy10]

Well lets hope that them not wanting it over in 2 games is true and we get calls in our favor on Wednesday night, and then a fair game on Friday because some of those calls were some of the worst I've seen....especially the ridiculous and one's.

I say Wednesday night we play our game, and we'll get a win. For Friday night; I think the press seems to work pretty well against them. I don't think it'd be smart to do it all game..we're only playing 6 or 7 players deep so we don't want to wear them out too much. I'd like it for the beginning of the game about 5 minutes to see if it throws them off and gets us some confidence on their home court. And then do it again a significant amount in the 2nd half. I don't know....I'm not a basketball strategy expert. I'm just really disappointed in the 2 or 3 chances they seemed to always get on offense...

I liked the slip screen adjustment in the 2nd half as tulsa was chasing the 3pt shooter off the screen all night. I kept saying that all BU needed to do was pass to the screener and when they sank kick it back to the shooter. I also think early in the game they need to attack Jordan and basically jump into his chest (much like most the MVC did to POB). He leaves his feet to block the shot every time and that is a definite vulnerability where fouls are concerned.

Does anyone know if this crew of referees had any conference affiliation becaue they reffed the game like most of the MVC games for BU.
