2007 BU commitment- David Collins

I agree with George here, people look too much at a stat than what a stat means. Missing a shot has the same outcome as a turnover but people don't treat it the same.

I think this years team which looks to have GREAT guards will keep turnovers down. I also agree with whoever brought up the point of big men with good hands, I hope DC has good hands, because as much as I love MS, he does not, he mishandles balls often. Either way I expect the rebound margin to improve(a result of better interior defense in a lot of ways).

I definitly do not disagree that turnovers are vital and equally as important as rebounding. What started all of this was the statement that rebounds were overrated. My point was in basketball, to me, the game boils down to who has more possessions and scores more points. The more points is extremely obvious, but the number of possessions is vital to scoring more.

Digging a bit into BU this past season, our biggest glaring weakness was rebounding and we were out rebounded by nearly 7 rebounds per game and in several games we were out rebounded by double digits.

A rebound a turnover a missed free throw are all things that can change a game from a win to a lose or vice versa. In '06-'07 we saw that poor rebounding directly lead in several games to us losing the game. Maybe not the only reason but a very strong possibility.

Final point, and in the Sweet 16 year there were many games that we lost that could be directly traced to turnovers. Both years we had a similar record. One year our losses were caused a lot by turnovers, and the other year by lack of rebounding. Pick your poison! Maybe next year we will have fewer turnovers (great experienced guards) and more rebounds with a bigger team. Top 25 here we come! :)

Might as well keep this topic going. We aren't far away from 10,000 views!

David Collins is also visiting Peoria today. He shouldn't be hard to spot. If anyone sees him or Coley, let us know.
 
OK-
but not 'til after we declare this the grandaddy of all posts in all of Central Illinois...
more pages, more posts & responses, and more views than any in all of history, hands down!
 
pob..........are you going isu on us? :? This time of year is recruiting and signing time.....what else should we be talking about? :roll:
 
Hey........the way things are going in the coaching ranks for college ball........we as Bradley fans need to count our blessings! :idea: All we have to do is replace an asst coach....a lot easier than going through the process of hiring a new head coach....getting more new assts and trying to keep your players on board( way to much unknown for fans and players)....let alone trying to recruit new players to an unproven team under a new staff! :-o :wink:
