They aren't winning this game unless something crazy happens. But it should be worth watching.

If the refs are going to let that guy defend bowman like that this is going to be a long game. Should have to buy him a drink first.

Are we playing no blood no foul when BC goes to the hoop?

Lville also has their hands all over BCs guards

The big goof for Louisville is terrible. Jump stops and pump fakes and he'd be fouled out. Knock off the finger rolls.

I thought 2 hands on the dribbler is an automatic foul. By those rules both of Lvilles guards have fouled out already

You forgot the travel after the jump stop and pump fake

Avery Wilson is really bad at basketball.

After that first half that call on kraljevic was absurd.

I think he’s worse than Gabe Moton who I thought was the worst player I’ve ever seen at BC

I haven't watched any games in which he has played more than a few minutes but he hasn't looked good.

Bowman is a brutal PG. Good player but his decision making just kills this team night after night

7 TOs from Bowman

He’s also 4 of 17 from the floor

I'm not saying it was the reason BC lost, but the officiating was really frustrating today.

i think my favorite was calling the foul on the floor when bowman was going up for a layup and the deng guy bodies him

IRregardless they aren't going to win too many when robinson is throwing up on the bench and bowman plays as he did, just not enough weapons

some good minutes from vbj, wilson on the other hand not so much

A dunk isn’t considered in the motion of shooting apparently to today’s officiating crew

Bowman's stats for the game looked John Starks like.

This seems like a good time to ask this (although I assume I know the answer and everyone but me and like two other posters will say fire him). Let's say they fall short of the tournament but don't go into a complete tailspin. Are people in favor of keeping Christian? Let's say its something like:

L @ Syracuse
W vs Virginia Tech
W vs Georgia Tech
L @ Notre Dame
L vs Miami
W @ Pittsburgh
L vs Notre Dame
L @ NC State
L @Miami
W vs Syracuse
L@ Florida State

1 win in ACCT

18-15, win 1 or lose 1 in NIT, your choice

Assume it is not obvious that none of Bowman, Robinson, Mitchel and Hamilton will be less likely to be here next year if he's not back (EG, you don't have Bowman saying he's leaving if Christian leaves but also don't know for sure that someone is leaving regardless), but that him staying improves the odds of the roster returning intact by some factor.

I know no one is excited with retaining Christian for a 5th year under that scenario, but what would your preference be? I'm a slight yes but would need a tourney berth in the following year or would be a definite no.

I'm by no means an apologist for this guy, but he is at worst a mediocre Xs and Os guy, and 18 wins would be a nice upward trajectory that he further bolstered by landing what sounds like a nice incoming group. I guess it would depend on how the games are played - if they are as competitive as they have been in all but the UNC game, I'd keep him. Making the tournament is not a requirement.
