Postgame: BU 81 AP 74

[bigdaddystuck]

I was unable to attend the game. Caught most of the 2nd half on the radio. Sounds like the margin could have been a lot bigger if we could have hit the bunnies. Kind of game you expect after a week and half off....kind of rusty.
Interesting to hear those who saw the game and their thoughts. Sounds like the refs were better than we are used to.

Good win and #19 on the year! Will be at the next game cheering them on!

GO BU!!!!

Well, at least Evansville got back to the post season this year. Nice job by Marty Simmons. However, they are one of the few teams that will be taking a big step back next year as much of their team was dominated by seniors. He will have his work cut out for him next year!

wow.....

Kansas State missed the second free throw. Odiakosa rebounded and got fouled...went to the line....missed the front end of a one and one...got his own rebound...got fouled again...hit the front end of the one and one...missed the second, and Kansas State went down to the other side missed a lay up and then tipped it back in.....Overtime

What was the attendance at Carver Arena tonight?

 

[chitown fanatic]

A very sloppy game, but would be expected after the long layoff. We get blasted by anyone halfway decent..couldn't grab a board in 2nd half, missed at least a dozen free throws and careless turnovers......better clean it up if we want to win this thing. Who's next?

All things considered I thought the crowd was pretty good. If I were to guess I would say somewhere around 5K.

That's pretty good. It should go up for game two.

Students will be back for the Monday game, fwiw

ISU loses.
:lol:

They put up what looks like was a good fight, though. Really close in OT. Except O's abysmal shooting... (good amount of points, but a LOT of shots...)

 

[Big Mike]

I guess in the 4000 range...about 50-60 students! The FTs were bad but we hit 11 3's! Where has that been.....EM had a good game and SS twisted his knee...overall a good game to watch! We sure could use some more fans Monday night though!

Who does BU play Monday? Or do they wait to see who wins all first roung games first?

 

[Big Mike]

They still did not know as of the post game radio show!

Great games by TW and EM and very good games by SS,SM and TB. Keep it going boys.

The most likely candidate seem to be Oakland University or the winner of Portland State/Pacific(according to Dave/Chuck). I can still see the Oakland insignia from the games we won in Auburn Hills 3 years ago. If Pacific would win their game and they were sent to Peoria it would be Brandon Hawkins (albeit as a deep reserve) returning to his fathers college home.

Heard Snell say there is a good chance our game Monday will be with Oakland.

Attendance 4,472

There were large gaps in the lower bowl. Many people I know who are season-ticket holders are gone on vaction, or on spring break with their kids out of school.

I am guessing we'll play Belmont next. The attendance should be better next week.

BU played a small lineup for long stretches. It hurt with rebounding a little, but BU had a ton of steals. I thought they did OK for the long layoff. APSU is not a bad team.

Portland State plays Xavier in the NCAA tournament.

Wow, 4,472 more than doubles what Notre Dame drew last night!

I hope we get Belmont. I like our chances better against Belmont.

Oakland is very good team.
