BU- Missouri State Postgame

I don't see a temper in Matt, I want him to keep playing the same way - aggresive (look up the definition). There is a reason why he is in the starting five. He's a great player and a team player.

Being aggressive is going hard to the glass to get a rebound.

Losing your temper is shoving an opposing player in the chest on your way back downcourt and getting T'd up for it.

Let's stick to just staying aggressive.
 
He's a great player and a team player.

No he's not and no he's not. Getting senseless technical fouls game after game isn't being a team player. It's being selfish and putting your agenda ahead of the team's well-being.

Please tell me what Matt Salley is 'great' at.
 
I think several, if not most....tradition is hard to compete with.

I think just about every BU coach outside of Van Atta and maybe Albeck reached 100 wins faster than Les. Quite frankly, with the talent we've had it should have been reached a year or two ago. But, onward and upward.

I'm too lazy to go into the room and grab the press guide to look it up right now, but Vanatta wasn't here all that long, and didn't Stan still pull off 100 a year or two before he left?

I'm thinking the younger alumni and current student body (and transplants into Peoria) do not grasp how truly good BU basketball has been--hence the frustration some of us have. Again, 12 and 20 years is a painfully sad, sick, and ridiculously long-time for a storied program such as ours to go without conference success. Please, oh, please let us pull it off in St. Louis this year :-) I'm not sure if my wife can take me for another season ;-)

I'm not sure on either one. I know Van Atta's run was a short one, and I know Stan's started fast and finished very poorly. Outside of those two, I am pretty confident every other coach we've had made it to 100 wins faster than JL will.

What??? Salley is a "great player"??? No...he's really not. Sorry.

And the technical fouls he continues to get are stupid, selfish, immature plays...(look up those definitions).
There is nothing about that technical that occurred because he was being aggressive...He was soft with the ball on the rebound...got it poked away by a smaller, weaker guy...and he responded by swinging an elbow at him...
That is weak.
 
So Matt got a technical, big deal - no, who's to say the technical call was correct. Keep playing the same way Matt.

It happened 30 feet in front of me, and it was correct. If you want him to keep getting technicals and keep giving forearm shoves to opposing players, go ahead.

Dude - were you like sitting right next to me? Cause I mighta been about 30 ft away too.

Anyway... Looked like MS threw an extra elbow in the chest AFTER he got the T. So he got two in for the price of one.

I concur. I was in the front row of the student section and saw it and couldn't believe that people around me hadn't noticed it. It was a blatant forearm shove and it just shows that he lets his emotions get the best of him too much. Hold onto the ball and he would have nothing to get frustrated about.

It was so blatant and obvious that Dave, Chuck, and Coach Stowell all thought he got multiple fouls called on him. A similar play nearly cost us the home ISU game. But yeah, keep playing the same way Matt.

Stay aggressive, Matt. Stay classy. Technical fouls are neat!!!
 
Why didnt Singh see any minutes in the last 10? Why do you play 5 guards for the entire last 8 minutes of a game? Why do you continue to play a zone, allow open 3's get hammered on the boards and when you do get a stop or offensive possession you take shots within the first 10 seconds of the possession. If you are going to play a zone why not put your biggest player Collins in the game and have him just sit in the lane at the rim?

This was a win, but it was a very painful and I hope very upsetting win for our staff and our team. We played ZERO defense in the last 12 minutes of the game. We allowed 49 points not in just the second half but in the last 17 minutes of the half. We turned the ball over again tonight at an alarming rate, and were out rebounded.

Matt Salley it is very simple get someone to get physical with him and he will lose his cool and do nothing but hurt his team. He is a headcase, doesnt take much to intimidate him and make him very defensive and agitated.

JL should feel very lucky to win this game, he was out coached and we were out played by a team that has nowhere near the talent we have. Congrats to Berry Hinson and his team for not quiting.
 
Three other questions, if anyone know the answers:
(1) What happened to Sam S and his not really playing in the second half--especially with RA being out? I figured Austin was sick since he stayed in the locker room and Dave and crew mentioned the bug going around, but what about Sam S since Jim at least appears agreeable to playing him some?
(2) What the blank was up with staying in the zone when we were getting our hat handed to us by staying in it--even getting pounded inside while in it? Reminded me of last 10 of the Drake game--like the coach's mind went AWOL. At least this time he has a fever as an excuse ;-)
(3) Has DC turned into a lepper, regressed into an inept *****************[ok who deleted this? and added the astricks? I clearly was not calling him names per sey, but it was sarcasm directed at the coaches...the point was to draw a contrast between reality and about the only extreme rationales they would ahve to insist on not playing bigger] or does he just do such a real good job of keeping his seat warm that it just would not benefit the team to actually let him off the bench at play? ;-)
 
I don't think you sit in the student section, Mob. ;)

No... I left the student section probably just a couple years after you were born. ;)

But that may explain the elbows seen. I didn't see the first one but could tell there was some kinda contact.... with MS's back to you and facing more toward me as the Ref was conveying the technical info... *whamo* MS throws an elbow to the chest with some words.... then Refs run in to make sure there isn't an all out brawl.

Outplayed? Are you sure? We led by 29 points early in the second half. I'd say that's quite the opposite of being outplayed.

With that said, BU's play in the last 15 minutes was puke. And congrats to Berruh's team for not quitting. I honestly hope that's not the last time I see him here. He's been one of the best guys for this league in the last decade.
 
Anyone who saw the game would not think Bradley was outplayed. MSU began hitting a bunch of long 3-pointers, and Bradley's shots in the second half were mostly great shots that were just barely missing. That's what tightened up the game. Things have a way of swinging one way, then another, but I don't think anyone in the crowd was worried, Bradley dominated play throughout. As much as I like Barry, his coaching had nothing to do with it.
