Key to the rest of the season

And from an xs and os perspective I thought our coach had the better night. And I think webers a good game coach.

but this is where it gets weird...
Coach Les ran precisely the same x's and o's as he's been running the past several games, but in those games, even the wins, several uninformed posters here and elsewhere have been hammering him.

So true. The biggest differences against the Illini was in execution, passion, aggressiveness (esp. from Egolf) and FG percentage. I have always believed that for Les' offense to be successful we MUST be able to hit the outside shot more effectively; we did last night. Also, as BURick said, it seemes like our spacing was much better last night which allowed our guys to get MUCH better open looks; we had much fewer forced outside shots.

Let's hope the guys keep the focus going forward. This offense CAN work but it requires the players to properly execute the x's and o's like they did las night.
 
The key for the rest of the season will definitely be to score more points each game than the team that BU is playing on a given night. This might come as a surprise; but after much studying and testing of many mathematical equations, that is my conclusion. The conclusion is supported by many years of empirical data.

Hypothesis test:
Ho: BU Points > Opponent Points = Win
Ha: BU Points < Opponent Points = Loss

So far in the long history of BU basketball, this hypothesis has never been proven wrong. They may have counted ties 100 years ago, but that is no longer a factor (i.e. 7 OT win versus Cincinnati). The only other way would be to lose and the opponent has to forfeit for some NCAA rules violation, but counting on that to get to the tournament would be silly and I am certainly not one that would post something as far-fetched and silly as that.

You're too funny GTD :lol: . Now, I'm waiting to see if somebody tries to pick this hypothesis apart;)
 
GTD is right. It's real simple: put the ball in the basket more times than the other team. Jim Les, like most coaches, gets too much blame and too much credit. The coach only controls so many variables on the court during a game. Ultimately, it falls on the players to execute. They have to put the ball in hoop.
