Embarrassed

Is this the 4th time BU LOST at home while holding double digit lead in the 2nd half?

Not acceptable.
Embarrassing.

What happened to home court advantage that BU had over decades?

I don't think BU lost 4 home games in my last three years when I attended school there.
 
I thought all the players played good.

But it's glaringly obvious what our weakness is, we've got no height or weight under the basket, Egolf can't do it all by himself. We get pushed around so much by big teams that are heavier than us. It is what it is. Hopefully Prosser can play alongside Egolf next season. Hopefully we hit every three point shot we take in St. Louis. Hopefully JL learns from us getting beat-up under the basket in many games against bigger/heavier teams and figures out something different.

But I've still got hope for St. Louis, why not :)
 
i wish we would have had a time-out during the last part of the game. isu gave us two chances to win it by missing front ends or one-and-ones twice.

i didnt think we played that badly and at least we were alot better than at normal. big game coming up against uni.

Nope, it's JL's fault SS can't get off his feet and king o misses layups so bad that it's actually a "pass". :roll:

He is clearly the best player in the league. Can't wait to see him in THE league. :?
 
Waiting for the spin and excuses for this one. Not from the staff or the players; they may be bad but they don't sugar coat or make excuses. But others can find every reason on Earth why this was OK. Waiting for that!
 
UNI has a good center and good shooters. Hard to see a different outcome vs UNI than the ISU (red) game tonight, but BU seems to play UNI tough.

Folks don't seem to think BU has a home court advantage. Didn't we just lose by one at home vs a bunch at ISU?

BU did get a home court advantage, trouble is, it wasn't enough for BU to beat ISU.

Is this even surprising anymore?

Didn't we all think this would happen at halftime?

I didn't. I can't speak for everyone, but I had feelings in those other games that teams would make a run on us because WE (not Egolf, the whole team) seemed to relax thinking the game was in hand. I KNOW they didn't think that this time, not after what happened in Bloomington. You can talk offensive boards until you turn blue. We should have won this game. Period.

OE looked absolutely awful. I think he has played his way into a European career at best. Those layups were hitting above the square or missing everything.

Not sure what happened to all of our TO's or when we took them, but we needed one at the end, bad.

There are absolutely NO EXCUSES why we get the ball to take the lead TWICE in the last 30 seconds and can't get a POINT. Those two plays where SM (sort of) isolated or went around a screen, wow. Just because you get to that point doesn't mean you throw up nothing and settle. I can't blame Sam for that, he had a great game. Aren't ATO's JL specialty?????

I also have to ask what in the hell TB was thinking on his 4 pump fakes from 3. If you do pump that's, fine. But use it to your advantage. Draw the defender in and dribble by him! He would pump, pump and shoot. He's shown me that he can knock down a 3 being set. After you fake so many times, give the ball up if you don't dribble drive. If your defender is gonna keep slacking off, pass it to the guy 5 feet from you, get him to take a step back again, get the ball back and shoot it then.

Not sure why, but we lose our heads after the 4:00 TV TO every home game. I've seen enough. The rollercoaster ride ends here.

VERY well said BU RICK! It was a valiant effort but our guys were just out-manned (and out-beefed).

How many years will it take:? In school they called them slow learner's. I don't think it's a case of JL being a slow learner just a small player coach and can't being himself to change:roll: I don't care how many big men he recruit, he will only play one at a time:roll:
