I don't think Ryan Anderson has ever got an And-1... Jesus

Down 26-24. If we make our open shots and free throws we could be handling them by 5-10

Hanlan is great at getting to the line.

The D is so much better than last year. Now just need to make some open shots

And box out for a full second longer. And make FTs. And not leave your feet with nowhere to go. And, well you get the point.

Anderson at a solid 33.333333333% from the line

Heck finishes that play he started and I would have laid off him for a full couple minutes.

If we could finish And 1's and make FTs this would be a blowout already

Ryan Anderson 2-7 at the line. There isnt even a student section distracting him. What the hell are we gonna do later in conference play?

I don't think they're as far off as you think they are.

It's not great but last year they'd be down big already

9 missed fts. christ.

Better than last year versus what it takes to be winners in this league...huge gap there.

They have what it takes to be winners. I don't know why anyone would think they wouldn't?

Because they don't win.

I'm one of the more optimistic posters when it comes to this team...but have they shown it? The answer is no, they have not.

claver2010 {l Wrote}:Not to rocketcar you, but where are you watching from?

Probably means it's on TV around you

ah, fuck i'm at work.

Way to stop that run there, gettin their hands in a lot of passing lanes

8-6 going into this game...

49-38 BC, If these boys can close out strong I will have tons of confidence going forward.

Did I hear right? VT has 6 scholarship players suited up tonight? Shaddix of course will claim this 2nd road win (if) of the last 2 seasons means they are officially over that hump.

This team makes me glad to be an Eagles fan. I'm also glad that I'm not the guy who said Lonnie and Heck aren't even worthy of being a ACC role players.

First off, that's extremely unimpressive through non-league play. Second, you musta missed the "in this league" part.

Heckmann is a turnover machine. Jackson is a good 4 th guard.

If neither were tied so closely to the immediate success of this team, I'd be far more proud.

Damn Hanlan pushes the ball

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying without that our team has played good ball, enough to get the job done with 95% of scoring coming from underclassmen. Did you think BC would be Clemson, VT, and a ranked FSU last year? Hell no, but they raised their game and they did. They are playing decent ball now.

Solid last 4 min. Lonnie throwing up bricks and Heckmann taking stupid shots.

Your main problem is that you take their high end of achievement as some kind of average. The horrible losses even those wins out and put them in a place far below their max potential over the course of a full season. Do I believe they can progress and surprise a lot of teams and that future years can bring a higher upside? Yes. Have they shown they can win in a top hoops league? No.

Just be a little more realistic and less cheerleader and you wouldn't have to go through this over and over.

So you'd prefer the 5-10 they went going into conference play last year to the 8-5 this year?

Working at home today, so have been able to glance at the game off-and-on.

Team looks good again -- but it seems like every time I look, Heckman throws up an ill-advised shot. When he just stays in control and passes the ball conservatively, the team is so much better...

And suddenly it's a 4 point game
