Sam is unbelievable. He amazes me every game with his clutch shots. I'm biased, but I just know he has to be worthy of first team (based on MVC play). Now if he only could have gotten Evan Turner to join BU...

Unfortunately, almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

If only Joe Allen could have got Cazzie Russell to join him at Bradley. They both played on the same Carver HS team that won the state tournament game. I remember it very well, it was an extraordinary slamma jamma (2 or 3) game for the way HS games were played back then

From the BU game notes for tonight's game-

"Sam Singh, a 24-year-old in his sixth year on campus and an academic senior
for his third Senior Night, will finally bid goodbye to the home fans after playing
in his 131st Bradley game, fourth on the all-time list to BU legends Bill Mann
(138 ), Gene Melchiorre (137) and Paul Unruh (133)."

Note that Sam Maniscalco is playing in his 102nd career game tonight, so if he stays healthy, he might expect to be able to pass everyone and end up with around 138 or so....

one other Sam M. note...Sammy has a career total of 313 assists...
If he keeps up a modest avg of about 3 apg through his senior year, he'll end his career with well over 400 assists, and will rank in the top 5 ever at BU.
