Bu wins.....64-63

[LittleBrave]

AW shouldn't be chucking so many 3's if he's having an off-night.
Looks like he was taking it more to the rim in 2nd half?
We need him to catch fire if he's gonna' be the go-to guy. Otherwise, let SM take 12 shots instead.

It's funny that with about 10 min. to go in EVERY game we've played this year, I've thought, well - that's it for Coach Les! Another disappointing loss. Then we've come back and I have new hope for a new day for Coach.
Too much of a roller-coaster for my liking - let's win tomorrow (by 1 - I don't care! ;-)) I'll take 5-0 start - and then we can get groovin' to better wins as the season rolls on.

Missed the last 9-10 minutes of the game today on line, then was out of the house till now. When I checked out BU was down by 7 I think. What a pleasant surprise to see them come back and win.

A great win and start for BU. Finding ways to win while not playing their best game yet is fanatastic. This is an upperclass laden team with no quit in it, and, the will to win down the stretch.

Key is to not let any of these wins go to their heads. I suspect JL and the rest of the staff will keep the 4-0 record in perspective and challenge the team to play better and for all Braves players to continue to up their games, if that is possible for SM.

Time to start lighting candles at the Temple of Healthy Ankles in SM's name, so BU can keep him on the floor for at least 32 MPG for at least 32 more games!

The 4 BU bigs were a combined 5-13 from the field, 2-4 from the FT line, with 3 offensive rebounds and 12 points in 50 total minutes of play.

If this is all they can produce in the BU offensive scheme, I will have to agree with AMC, BU should play all 5 of their guards all the time and take their chances. Or 4 guards and one big who can inbound the ball to one of the guards after made baskets by the opposition.

Will have to hope AD and SH, and NW give BU some credible inside game.

BTW, is "@&*&^%$!!@#@#$%*&^&%$&#@!" on the list of words that can get you T'd up during the last minute of a close game:?:

I hope you're being sarcastic. I think our SL right now should be SM, WL, DD/DSE/AW, JP, WE... I like our D with two bigs. They just gotta rebound.

But I agree completely with the SM comments (big surprise )

My guess is that it's something personal that Kissinger has against JL. Why else would you make a call like that with a minute to go and the game still undecided. He was going to show JL who the boss was. For Snell to talk about an official before the game raises red flags. There's no question that JL has a bad reputation for being hard on the refs and he has certainly earned his share of T's over the years. This one, especially with the 2 different explanations, is very suspect. I don't know. Maybe I'm reading too much into this situation. I'm just saying.

I think it's B.S. to blame Les for this.

Yea - so what if he "threw a towel". EVEN IF HE WAS WARNED. (who knows what the warning was really for and what it means)

Crikeys - coach throws a towel and hollers "THAT'S ALASKAN CRAP" as he's ticked off at Dodie not boxing out (who knows???)... Oooppps - "THAT'S A T!"

BULL-CHIT

I was watching his feet, I assume the ref and Sammy new if he was fouled or not. They seem to think he was. He was being guarded aggressively.

So you thought he was on or over the line...not disagreeing I didn't see it. They DID review it correct? The original call was two pointer? Is it like football they have to have conclusive evidence to overturn it?

So I can't recall did they change it to a three or was it called a three originally and they kept it....

thanks....

I don't think Jimmy or anyone else is blaming Les......
