post game UE 79 @ BU 86

Da Coach said:
Taylor Brown will get his minutes next year. Coach Les sees him as a "4", so he won't play him at the 5 unless both Sam Singh and DC are in foul trouble. So for now he has to take the few minutes when Theron is on the bench. He does seem to produce well in the short time he plays. But his play also drops off the longer he is in the game. So for now they want to keep his stints short.

How can anyone tell if his play drops off the longer he is in the game since he has never been in a game very long?

With the recruits that we have coming next year and hopefully a healthy Will Egolf, I hope JL sees Taylor Brown as a "3"... jmho

We won but it sure didnt make me happy. We let the worst team in the league score 79 points, and barely beat them.

G...UE is ahead of BU in RPI and was tied with us for 4th until we beat them....they are far from the worst team in the league?:o
 
Very entertaining game. Defense was not very good. Free throw shooting was very good. Good movement on offense. CR & DC stepped up. SS looks slow to me compared to early in the year. Not sure he is getting worn out. TB might not play in the 2nd half because he is a frosh and TW is ahead of him. 1st 5 minutes after half made me sick. SM is a warrior, but he is a step slow on D. AT?????? wonder if he will be a Brave next year. TW was amazing! I wish Coach Les would have taken a quick timeout to let TW come out of the game with seconds left so the crowd could recognize his effort. Didn't CR learn from the 3 point shot against WSU????? Why the fancy throw the ball against the bankboard and try for some fancy slam at the end of the game? :(

How tall is Taylor Brown really? Someone give the truth if you know it. With all the size coming in during the next couple years, will Coach Les ever put 3 big players on the floor at the same time? That would dominate this league. Could Milos be a "2"? Can Wilkins be a "2" or "3"? Think about the possibilities... Think BIG. Sam & McCain can share the PG spot and BU could play very big most of the time. Look where the 3 guard line-up has gotten Coach Les (7 years of never finishing above 4th place in the MVC) and that fact cannot be disputed. Maybe he sees it too and that is why he has some bigger players coming? I can't wait!

EU is not the worst team in the league.. Not by much though.

Regardless I am in agreement with Guinness. They shot 53% from the field got to the line a lot and we gave up 79 points 46 in the second half.

I am estatic we won, I am not being negative but we gave up 79 point to Evansville at home.

Very happy we won, but giving up nearly 80 points to a team that makes 3 3pointers. is not, atleast in my mind a great effort defensively. Might have been a fun one to watch, but defensively, to an undersized team, not even close to acceptable for a team that is susposed to have had defense as a point of emphasis this season.
 
I think Taylor is still growing, probably a little taller than 6-6 now;) He certainly plays big, I always look forward to him coming into the game.

Talking to my friends in the ticket office, apparently it helped that it was Siblings weekend on campus. From what they told me, a lot of parents went and bought tickets for them and their kids which is why there was more people than we expected for a game against Evansville at 1:05. Was a great crowd though and I loved seeing the stadium erupt after the Alley Oop to CR. That should have been on College Game Night along with Theron's dunk which was like somebody else already posted.

Most any game against almost any team I would agree with you on this. Giving up 79 points to anybody in the MVC is to many....but....the way that game was called in the second half with all the fouls being called, it gave E'ville a lot of trips to the line. They scored 22 points from free throws and not "out of their offense." I know this does not totally excuse some of the defensive mistakes the Braves made but it does ease my concern about BU's overall defense in this game....just my 2 cents worth...
 
I really like the videos bradleyhoops/PJ Star has been putting up. Usually a very good camera angle to see what's up. Unfortunately they didn't get or didn't use CR's ridiculous dunk. However, for those who'd like to review his play at the end of the game, they did manage to get and use that one. ;)
 
It is good to see CR playing well again, he will definitely be needed for the tournament. Now it would be in BU's best interest to get DN going before the tournament starts. Inevitably he will have to log a good amount of minutes to keep everyone else fresh. You need everyone in a 3 day tournament.

Taylor Brown will never play as a '3' in this offense. He doesn't have an outside shot and doesn't handle the ball well. His skill set is perfectly suited to the 4 spot on this team....
He will, hopefully, fill most of the minutes that Theron is getting this year...and I think he'll be very effective if he can work on his midrange jump shot and his free throws.
Prosser is the only recruit coming in that could see time in the post...which means I think you'll see some combination of Will, Prosser, and AT at the 5 next year...and who knows what to expect out of that combo...you've got an injury and two totally inexperienced D-1 guys looking to play the post next year...could work out great, could be a disaster....we'll see.

I understand the huge amount of free throws for Evansville but even to allow 53% from the field and a total of 57 scored points just on field goals is not a good situation. If we just took field goals and points off them they win 57-56.

We allow an average of .425% from the field, giving up 53% from the field to Evansville at home is not very encouraging. Infact I am the more I look at the numbers a little discouraged about our defensive effort on Saturday.

Well, we weren't winning with defense the 4 games before that because our offense was pathetic. I'd rather overplay on defense and get offense off the defense as well as change our offensive mentality a bit to complement our defense and actually score points.
