The U @ BC Must-Win Wed. Night 7 pm

Postby eepstein0 on Tue Feb 22, 2011 9:59 pm

Figured we may as well get this one started. I'm sitting about three rows off the floor Saturday in Charlotesville at UVA across from the BC bench. Unfortunately we'll all be enjoying this game on the internet if we don't live in Boston.

This game absolutely scares the crap out of me. Miami actually has some legitimate talent in spite of their dunce of a coach.

Reggie Johnson is a beast and he scares me because our interior defense sux. Southern simply can not cover a guy like him. I think we need to go at him early to try to get him in some early foul trouble.

It simply isn't on tv, interwebz, etc. (this is the first year I can remember ACC games not being broadcasted at all -VTech wasn't IIRC as well).

TRE, what does MUST-WIN mean to you? It's a big game, durrrrr

My understanding is that if we win this game we win the Pac-10 tournament, which gives us good seeding for the ACC tournament and an automatic bid to the regional finals.

pac 10 doesn't make any sense, manny.

my understanding is if we win this game and then beat vpi then we are 3-1 in the big ecc but more importantly gives us the 2-0 tie-breaker over VPI. as long as we finish in the top 2 of the big ecc, we get seeded higher than 12 in the acc tournament AND we get to print "big ecc co-champions" shirts. i still have mine from the dudley/smith team.

the bad news is that if we lose both of these games we finish 3rd in the big ecc and although wake has the 12th seed wrapped up, the players and coaches will still have to go through the old mill when they get to greensboro


Where's the old mill? Sounds like something I can do Thursday Morning before the games start.

Wow, you have better seats than I do. Enjoy - not sure if you've been to a game at JPJ yet but it's a really nice venue.

I went to the BC Game in '08 and the Duke game 1.5 weeks ago. JPJ is beautiful. Right across from the BC bench on Saturday so it should be interesting.

It's amazing that such a bad basektball program can justify such a nice arena. I've been to a lot of basketball games there, but they also make a lot of revenue from concerts, the circus, etc.

Would be nice if we could afford/fill an arena like that.

I've heard originally, the arena was approved in part because it was supposed to be limited in terms of non-Hoos sports use. The university kept adding dates and shows for all kinds of external participants and I know alums, donors, and locals who feel 1) they were lied to and 2) it's gotten out of hand. I think they've more than doubled the number since its opening. It is a beautiful arena though.

Yeah, I can see how the big donors would be pissed, but as an alum/local, I really like it. Between that arena and the football stadium we get some pretty incredible acts coming through for being a relatively small town.

And by the way, the baseball stadium makes Shea look like little-league, too.

This is exactly why BC needs a retractable dome with at least one million seats.

Conte Forum is an absolutely horrible basketball venue. JPJ is unbelievable. The Comcast Center is also very nice. The Dean Dome is a dump.

That's a fair analysis.

good, thanks. the link to view the game on that site is unclickable. is that because it doesn't activate until tip off, or do we need to login/set up account?
