Great game by everyone. Danny Adams made up for an off game at Creighton. Zach was unstoppable. And Daniel Ruffin is incredible to watch-- he is clearly head-and-shoulders above any other point guard in the Valley. WSU could not keep up with the Braves. All night, their players were begging to come out for a rest.
Great coaching job, too.

Did not see Ray Brown on the bench tonight. Did I miss him?

Any recruits at the game?

I didn't hear any other scores from the Valley during the game. Is it possible to scroll the other scores across the bottom of the message board periodically?

I tried to get all to post in the Sticky DC for the postgame - and you veer off the beaten path.

:lol:

Sorry MM. Some people don't know how to go directly to the last posts, so when the other thread is so long, I thought I'd start a new one for simplicity.

Haha - actually... I had a thread titled basically 'post in such and such thread instead of having 2 threads'.... as things gravitated to it, I deleted my thread, and THEN YOU came along.

:lol:

Just having fun with you. Wish I coulda been at the game.

Anyone pick up an extra 'megaphone' they were giving away I can have?
 
Thanks Mike.

I should have said "message board at the arena" so we can keep up on the other games while cheering for BU.
 
Just got home from a great victory celebration.

What a fun game. BU took care of business, and it's looking better for staying out of Thursday play-in. Gotta keep winning, though.

For anyone who hasn't noticed, this is an extraordinarily well coached team. The defense is great, even though it wouldn't seem so by the points they allow. And the offensive plays seem to nearly always get good, high percentage shots. What I wouldn't have given to have that kind of efficient offense during the last coach's regime (that was not a knock on Mo, but just a widely held opinion).
Did anyone notice Mo's team only scored 40 points against Northwestern?

I have an extra one I'll bring you next game. But you have to promise to share it with your little cheerleader, and not hog it all for yourself. :lol:

Now that is what college basketball is all about; great crowd, great game , BU wins and let"s take it to the redbirds next.
 
The game was great I ended getting 84 students from my Residence Hall Staff to go, it was great!! Anyone else concerned though that Andrew Warren was barely part of the rotation?
 
It was tough for AW, but his time will come. I think Danny Adams was playing so well, that he got extra minutes.

I agree about the students. Not much has been said, but the turnout and energy was exceptional.

But I hope BUBraves06 keeps his cool, he was close to ejection a couple times! :lol:
 
This was evidence that something is happening in Peoria, and the crowd was just awesome.
The excitement is getting ever higher about this team.

This crowd, 11,080 was the largest crowd in the past 3 years except one of the ISU games, and equalled the total of fans we had at the DePaul game.

In other words, this is the 2nd sellout this year, and just possibly Wednesday will be the third!

This team is exciting the fans in Central Illinois.

I really enjoyed the payback for the big loss down in Wichita.
Nice to see Mark Turgeon sweating and wondering who to try next in the lineup.
Ogirri has somehow lost something. He doesn't try to shoot any much from 3-pt range. He passed on several looks.

Bradley's defense did the rest holding the Shockers to nearly 10 points under their season's average, and nice shooting nights from several, DRuff, DA, etc.

I learned a little more about JC and had the chance to talk with several of the BU players, but I will have that in a PM that'll be available if you PM me.
