2 Point Defense
BU 10th @ 58.2%
LU 6th @ 54.5%

As a fan, I would be disappointed if we did not only win this one but do so in convincing fashion. Afterall, the Terriers come into Stabler sporting a less than impressive 1 and 2 road record and losers of 3 straight overall. During that 3-game span (1 at home and 2 on the road), they managed but 64.7 points per game on offense. Our D must show up tomorrow and do to the Terriers what others have been able to do. Giving up 74, 85, 76, and 91, as we have in our last four, just won’t cut it going forward. Yup, all eyes will be on the “D”.
P.S. Oh yeah, we still lead the Nation in 3 Pt. Shooting @ 45.6%

The key to this game seems to be the Terrirers' Max Mahoney who made life tough for us last year. Can be a tenacious rebounder with the ability to score. Hopefully James and/or Nic are up to the challenge. We have to contain him or this could be a very difficult game.

Marques Wilson was with the team on the bench today. Did not dress, but great to see him at east back with the guys.

Just watched the replay. Commentators offered Jordan Cohen as the most underrated player on the team. He may be one of the most underrated players in the league. And J. Karnick seems to be progressing nicely. Good defensive game tonight against Mahoney as well as impressive post moves for a career high 21 points to go with 8 boards.

Disappointing TO total and a cold shooting streak late got BU back in the game before Cohen etal righted the ship. But you can't have everything. Great win preceding what will no doubt be a desperate group of Eastonians Wednesday and the combat ready Patriot League co-leaders Saturday in West Point.

Great to see the depth and potential of this team. They're not relying one one guy ... it's a T-E-A-M.

And in case you missed this video of the fellow who went from the women's team to the men's team ... enjoy watching it.

He even got in today.
