After sleeping on the loss, a few takes:
??? Losing at home has to be made unacceptable. Like others here, I remember going to BU games growing up and always knowing they would win at home.
??? Even in a loss, there are some good things. What were they? MK??™s shooting has to be one bright spot. We still haven??™t lost a conference game yet! ISU got murdered at oHIo.
??? MK was on fire, but on defense he still seems lost and perhaps this is why he never made it back into the game and I can understand and agree with that. However, he wasn??™t the only one lost on defense last night. Loyola made numerous entry passes into the post just a couple feet from the basket and had clear lanes to the basket all night long. Maybe we should have went zone and put EM down low on D.
??? I feel like AW could get 20+ every night with a few more touches. I would like to see him be more assertive and go to the basket more.
??? Is CR our best and most consistent player right now?
??? I saw Branches and TB in the game at the same time, although I??™m not sure it helped. Does anyone have stats showing the scoring output for the different in game combinations?
??? While injuries to DD and DSE are very disappointing, I still feel we have plenty of talent to win every game on our schedule without them.
??? I believe I heard Dave and chuck Dave mention before the final play that they would not guard the in bounder. I don??™t have a problem with not guarding the in bounder there, but if that??™s the case then the inbound pass can??™t make it to half-court.
??? The refs certainly were the worst batch all year and almost seemed to have an agenda. However, BU still should have won by double digits. I thought I read where Loyola was picked to finish last in their conference.
??? I don??™t think we can blame all this on Jim. The players have to be held accountable for the some of the ridiculous turnovers in the second half. I??™m looking forward to seeing how this team responds at Iowa St. Does anyone have the video tape of Jim??™s hiring? To this day, I still see that press conference and promises flash before my eyes??¦
??? I believe one of Jim??™s strengths a s a coach is designing plays, so I would liked to have seen him use s a couple more time outs to draw up a plays towards the end of the game.
??? Thank goodness for channelsurfing.net. BU.tv is a horrible product.
??? Finally. As a previous season ticket holder, who now lives out of state, who are the fans that are leaving early? Listening to the game, Dave remarked about all the people leaving the game with a few minutes left. Very funny comments about the Peoria traffic and such. I??™m not sure I??™ll ever be able to understand this. I can only think of a few reasons that this might be a warranted, such as a severed artery, house on fire or under nuclear attack.
