What is wrong with Sammy?

NOT according to Billy Packer who all but called BU a bunch of thugs the next day on the game of the week.....when he stated something to the affect of a team like BU goes into Villinova with nothing to lose and picks some fights to see if they could knock out a few superstars.

IF Zobs and Deon doen't go down we take those guys out that night.....

Oh sorry....sammy is a mess and doing the best he can on bad ankles. Its simple....he's going to struggle some if not most nights.

I remember that Nova game, and I seem to recall Deon being the one taken out with a very dirty elbow to the face on a rebound that cost him a few teeth.

Steve Lappas blamed the slick floor on his team getting embarrassed that Saturday afternoon and said he'd never return. He hasn't, and neither has Villanova. A great win that most people with JL blinders on forget about.

I believe that Kerry Kittles was on that Nova team... It was a good win no doubt.

Kerry Kittles was on the Villanova team when the fight in Philly occurred, in the 1995-96 season.

However, he entered the NBA in 1996.

'Nova was scheduled to visit Bradley the following season, but after the fight, both coaches decided to delay the series until all the players involved in the fight were gone.

Therefore, the game was postponed to the 1997-98 season, after Kittles had graduated.

Michael Bradley (who went on to a stable NBA career) was a freshman that season.

BU opened 31-5 and never relented in that game.

It was a win that certainly typified BU hoops over the past two coaching regimes - Great wins (Michigan and Villanova) followed by unfathomable defeats (@ WIU following the Michigan win). It got tiring then, and it's still tiring now.
 
Will Sam play tomorrow night or is his ankle bad enough to be thinking about shutting it down and possibly red-shirting?

I would hope it would not come to a RS. Regardless, isn't it still early enough in the season where he could accept it?

EDIT: Thanks DC. :)

I am not confident in anybody else playing the point, DSE seems to be the next logical guy but the way the offense is set up (lots of passing in the perimeter, pass to big guy in the middle, back to the corner, etc) I am not so sure how this team can climb and claw its way back if it is down by a certain margin with less than five to go in the second half.

Without him, there would not have been a win over USC when he made those three baskets. It's anecdotal sure, but I will be a happy clam if this team can somehow win the games they should win, and maybe try its best against Duke.
 
Here is a tweet from Sammy from just a few minutes ago-

Headin to the airport...western carolina on the menu

It sounds from this like he is going to Cullowhee, NC to play.

This tweet from earlier this afternoon also suggests he isn't ready to sit out if he can avoid it-

Heading to prac then western carolina tonight to get this W

Ok thanks... I remember that now... When we went to the game at Carver, we were wondering if there was going to be another fight... That was the part that I was confused about... :)

We are in a "Basketball Fan Talk" thread, so what's the problem with discussing Bradley basketball over other things? Maybe someone, go for it SFP, could start an Academic Fan Talk thread.

Excuse me Chico that I would bring up academics, BU and athletics in a statement. I had no idea that the subjects were exclusive of each other. :roll:

If I'm in the sciences and there were faculty members that had Nobel Prize winners, they would not be at BU or any regional school. They would be at high-research institutions which receive a hell of a lot of money to study what they want to do.

At Bradley, the faculty are prided for teaching the courses themselves. Trouble is that the Nobel Prize Winner would have to teach the intro sections without a TA. Sure you could have some grad student grade the papers, but the 50 minutes three days a week could go towards the professor doing more research, writing articles, getting grant money...

For a Nobel Prize professor at a high-research institution, they're going to have TAs lead lecture and have other grad students (or the TAs themselves) grade papers. They may teach an upper-level course, but for the most part will be concerned with research with the research assistants who are receiving stipends and tuition remission.

And the graduate program at BU is not well-known either compared to the undergrad, so the uber bright students in the sciences will have already gone to schools that have more high-profile grad schools.

I'm not slamming Bradley, but if you want to do extensive research then the large state schools or the small, prestigious private schools that receive a lot of federal money will be the route to go.

I'd rather have a few Noble prize winners out of BU then NCAA championships. FWO what is your major and do you plan on leaving P-town?

I would love to meet 1 other person that post on a basketball fan board that wants their school to have a Nobel prize winner over a national title....really????

I am in chemistry teaching.....at Bradley that results in a double major in chemistry (40+ hours) and education (40+ hours). I am planning to try and get into grad school for chemistry...but my GPA might need a boost. I still would rather see a national title.

EDIT: I would like to go to Illinois next....if not Germany or Warm

Which one are we closer to? I'm sure there are a few more then just me who feels the same.

Again, Nobel Prize? A politically-motivated, arbitrary award. Come on.

We were 4 wins from a title in 2006, and finished as the national runner-up twice before that. I'd say we're closer in basketball.
 
Posted a poll with extreme point of views. I believe the academic issue is pretty straightforward.
 
I hope he redshirts....what is the point of playing to less than potential if he can't help us win.

Although really not fair to Dodie and AW that this is what their senior year has become...smh
