And how many points do we give up when other players not named DC run away from the three-point shooters? Using this logic, SM should not being getting the minutes he has. I mean, he contributed five points?
EXACTLY!
Glad to note that someone else sees what I am seeing out there...

DC and SM are the players I was referring to when I stated that JL needs to light a fire under a couple of players..... I am not worried about SM as much as DC.

I'm not selling anything, and the best players don't always start. I don't know what you're all bent out of shape about, especially regarding my posts.
I'm not bent out of shape...and usually I agree w/ you BB...I just can't agree on some of the issues presented, but hey, thats why this is a message board...
I mean its just an opinionated discussion...hope you aren't taking it too hard...

Me either Ben....somehow I think DC would disappear...I would though like to see what Will has...I'm just afraid they've grouped him into the center spot when he's more of a 4...
Sam will eventually be ok on offense...his D scares me though...BIG TIME!
Unless you have personally witnessed these guys in practice please stop referring to them as lazy. That's just rude.
If you want to talk talent, that's fine. I'll agree that DC is lacking in basketball knowledge and natural talent. I'll agree that he has bad footwork, bad hands, is a step slow, and plays soft. Let's just stop knocking his character unless you know something.
DC seems like a good kid who gives it his all; that's all I ask. He's just been put in a bad position as he should, IMO, be providing minutes off the bench, not as a starter.

No no, not at all. Just kind of surprised folks are so fired up on personnel issues 2 games into the season. No worries.
What really stinks is that we have to wait a whole week for our next game, and nearly 2 weeks for our next home game. What are we going to do all week?
Just got back from watching the game at a friend's house.
I thought BU did some good things. Did some not so good things too.
I really like EM, but he's got to look to score a little more, especially when he gets in the paint off the drive, he had a couple of chances to pop in a little 10 footer with nobody around against the zone, but he's not even looking to do it.
It's really tough for Theron against a team like this, even if he does everything right, he's at such a disadvantage with regards to size, that sometimes he's just not effective, at the 4 anyway. We can get away with it in the Valley, but not against Florida.
Sam M wasn't great today, had trouble hitting his 3's, but I look for him to get it worked out, and when Warren comes back, that will help Sam out I think.
I thought Sam S, C Roberts, and T Brown all did some really good things today. C Roberts with another good second half, he's got a chance to pretty darn good for BU if he keeps working.
Dodie good again, but we can't rely on him to be our main 3 point shooter, he's really a crapshoot from out there, you never know if he's gonna swish it or fail to draw iron.
I still look for this team to be pretty solid. I would like us to tweak the offense a little, and get some more things going towards the bucket instead of so much drive and kick, but not ready to scrap it entirely until I see the system with a healthy Warren.
We need to have a great week of practice, and go down to Florida with some focus, it would be a shame to go down and have a let down against any of the 3 teams we play down there. If we do things the right way, there's no reason we can't come back with 3 wins in 3 days during Thanksgiving week.

Agree Will looks to be more of a 4 but we need him at the 5 this year.imo
I am all for easing Will into some pt during games and adjusting his pt
once he plays... either way... but we need to get WE some time this year as we loose DC and SS after this year...

Apparently, that's good enough to earn 30 minutes/game.

The wait is probably a good thing for this team to review film etc...

We need to see some more EM at the point. When AW comes back, he might be a better fit as he's more of a pure PG. Sam M might be better suited playing a combo/scoring position off the bench. I think his shot will come around, but the assist-to-turnover ration is alarming.
Who would have thought that a Bradley team would have trouble shooting the 3? Now we have 4 games that we need to win, and get experience for our guys as well. A couple years ago, didn't Creighton play a tough schedule early, take some losses, and do better in conference for it? I thought they did, could be wrong. This really was a tough one for this years team early in the season.

Go BU.
He's shooting 8% from 3-pt range and has 2 assists with 9 turnovers.
AW cannot get back soon enough if that's what it'll take to fix these numbers.

Yeah, I agree there. I don't think Will is a 5 at all. His basketball skill set is perfect, in theory, for our system, but at a 4 not a 5. We just havn't seen if he can actually produce at the 4. Obviously JL is seeing something, or not seeing something, from Will that's causing him to not get in the games.
