18-13 NIU...they are 8-10 from the field getting every shot they want...

18-13 NIU...they are 8-10 from the field getting every shot they want...

The 5 worst basketball players on this message board could get every shot they want. This team's defense is a huge problem. Biko and Reggie can't stop penetration and there are no shotblockers at the rim to cover their mistakes. It's time for Al to let this team run and gun.

Taking a glass is half full approach, NIU is shooting lights out and we're only down 5. They'll come down to earth -- and we'll be waiting for them......

You are forgetting we have a coach who thinks good defense is overrated.

[eepstein0]

Let's not leave Trapani or Southern out of this sucky defense, they're both awful. In a matter of fact, we don't have a single good defensive player on the team.

... It's time for Al to let this team run and gun.

whoa - let's slow down... we don't need anymore players jumping out windows

You know what, I want a player who's willing to jump out of a 2nd story window for his coach. That's what you call dedication and we need more of it on this team.

I'd say Elmore is a pretty good defender, albeit in small portions. You're right that the entire starting 5 is sub-par defensively.

Agree with this assessment of Dallas. He's already taken more charges this year than the entire team has in the past 4 years.....

[eepstein0]

Roche is good at taking charges but his m-2-m defense is an atrocity.

[GodofBeasts94]

How about a score update. I'm stuck at my desk with no sound.....

[Puerto Rico Eagle]

27-26 BC...they are shooting 75% from the field Dunn HAS 3 fouls Southern, and Raji have 2 fouls...Skinner is saying "Chill out guys I got this"

[eepstein0]

27-26 UNI...they are shooting 75% from the field Dunn, Southern, and Raji have 2 fouls...Skinner is saying "Chill out guys I got this"

Is UNI supposed to be any good tihs year? Dunn just picked up this 3rd foul.

From what I read on ESPN they are supposed to be a top flight mid major

I know there's no free video, but is there at least somewhere free with consistently updating stats?

EDIT: found a pretty good one.

I have a good drinking game idea:

Listen to the radio broadcast and every time Teddy says "and gets free" when BC is playing on defense take a drink. You'll be hammered by the end of the game.

[GodofBeasts94]

4 minutes left in the half and neither Southern nor Biko have taken a shot?

[cvilleagle]

Wow pretty sad when they are shooting 79% from the field this late in the first half.

The happy part is that somehow they're only up 3.

[Puerto Rico Eagle]

it sounds like that game would have similar results for every mention of kwadzo ahelegbe

Or every time they call a foul in this game...

[cvilleagle]

Kwadzo is a monster!

seriously, are we going to have anyone left? al better start looking for "that guy" in the bc shorts and shirt in the crowd

Evan Ravanel is apparently finding his offense today but they need to stop calling fouls this is getting absurd. Glad I didn't end up going to this tournament I would have been pissed after that St. Joe's game.

Who wants to go streaking with me to the UNI Board?

How many minutes did Josh play before he put himself on the pine? Thanks to Evan for stepping up. Make the most of those minutes young man and maybe you'll get more! Of course, Al may have no choice.

Seriously, with a small roster (particularly with Rakim out), guys are going to need to get MUCH smarter about fouls.

But will that lead opponents to shoot 80% on us?

I'm going to Providence on Saturday. I'm a wee bit worried.....I HATE losing to PC because they can be quite dickish......

Heh did you look at that board? It's severely inactive, by the looks of things. They have a video posted earlier this month with no replies, last post prior to that was in July

I'm flying back home to MD for the football game instead of going to PC for that exact reason. We'll struggle against Providence without Sanders. Their fans are right up there with MD Football fans.
