We need more size.
You've got a very good team that I most certainly expect to be in the big tournament next season. Best of luck in the Colonial next year!
We did have a great atmosphere tonight!
Your team is one of the few good teams we beat at home outside of our CIT run. We have to do a better job beating great teams at home before we can even think about the NCAA Tournament.
But yes, I'm looking forward to next year already! It should be one heck of a race in the Valley with so many good players coming back.

First of all, congrats to your team winning the CIT championship.
Good luck to your team too next year. I am shocked that ODU was not in the NIT this year, because they played very well in the CIT. I would say ODU will be one of the favorites in the CAA next year. You've got some great teams there with a rich basketball tradition, so it should be a great race, as it should be in the Valley as well.
Good luck next year, and I would love to see our teams play each other in the near future.
I think if BU plays ODU in a series, BU would win a fair share. But tonight everything favored ODU- they killed BU on the board, they scored 25 points on 2nd chance baskets, and BU could not hit the outside shot.
Bradley had been shooting the three very well the last several games, but 4-22 tonight was not going to win the game against their zone defenses.
If Bradley could have just just hit a couple more shots, or grabbed a couple more rebounds, the outcome could have been different. But tonight ODU was the better team.

Hey, thankx big blue, would be great to hookup next year and help both RPIs and increase the chances for a dance ticket...
I thought we were very poorly coached tonight. Where was Dodie in the second half? Where was David Collins?? I thought that David did a nice job altering shots early in the game... I thought Dodie was our best perimeter defender... And together, perhaps we wouldn't have been so terribly out-performed in the second half. That was not a "good game." W were terrible, we couldn't get a defensive rebound to save our lives, and the proper alignment of players didn't see the court. I'm pretty peeved right now, to be quite honest.. I felt like I could have coached that team in a more efficient, effective fashion.

I would also add that late in the 2nd half our guards were finally starting to understand that they weren't going to get beat off the dribble. I think if we played ODU again, you would see a LOT more pressure on the ball to prevent entry passes into the lane.
I can't wait for next year! If the freshman bigs contribute as much as the freshman guards did this year, this team's going to be pushing for an NCAA spot.

Congrats to OD....they deserved the Win....they did what they had to.....you can't go 0-10 on 3's in the 2nd half until CR hits the 3 with seconds left on the clock and expect to beat a team killing you on the boards! I would love a home & home with these guys!
PS....IMO too much SS in the 2nsd half.....he played from the 13 minute mark on and I really thought DC could have at least given SS a blow?

Our poor 3 point shooting hurt us as much as the rebounding did. My only problem is why didn't Collins see the floor in the last 13 minutes??? If Les wanted Singh in there for the most part, fine. But when he is standing there awaiting an inbounds, hands on knees and just got beat for a basket I think you have to at least give him a breather. He showed his frustration on offense when he forced a couple of shots. Again, I have no problem with Sam taking the bulk of the inside minutes in the last 12min. However, I don't think you can leave him in for 12 straight minutes and expect much in the last few minutes. If he gets a breather maybe he gets that rebound with about 1:50 left to play instead of an easy put back. I also felt a little bad for Collins as a senior not having a single minute in the last 12 of his college career.
