wow.......that 1st half really hurt us tonight.......uni tried to give us the game the whole 2nd half IMO and we missed FT after FT and brought out the panic 1 on 1 when we should have been in the drivers seat! This was a winnable game but the better team won tonight! :x
 
Zach had another off night.......Matt did some good things but he played out of position on D' most the night! Did AW get into the game tonight......I thought I saw him but the radio said only 7 players entered the game for the Braves tonight.....DA and MS from the bench? :? Where's SS at? :-o

Yes, FTs were a big part of the loss. We also turned it over a couple times when we needed a basket. Salley played like a freshman tonight. Most JUCO players really don't play great until they are seniors.
 
6511 tonight.....Braves need to get ready for anothe tuff match-up down low with a Big Boy "Webster" coming in Sat-night for UE! Snell said SS and AW didn't play! :-o

I just don't understand Sam not playing. Looks like he does not fit into Jim Les' team makeup.

Hell, Les could have put him just on defense against Coleman. He wouldn't be worse then Salley.

We need some bigs BIG TIME. Period. :cry:

That is bad news. I tore an acl in college and I fully understand if that is the reason.
 
I called for JL to put SS on coleman and just stay with him......coleman is not fast......he is 6'6 but has really long arms......but shooting over JJ all night would be easy for him to do! :?
 
Salley looked very lost on defense, and for that matter, on offense. I give him a pass as this is his first Valley road game. I think it must be a big adjustment for a JUCO.
 
Why was the defense so passive in the first half? UNI was able to run their offense the way they wanted to and picked apart the BU defense.

The second half rolls around and BU starts pressure the ball and jumping the passing lanes. Plus, they started doubling Coleman in the post. If that effort is there in the first half half, there might have been a different outcome.

Halftime adjustments......maybe a poor gameplan to start.

Did Jacobsen play for UNI just last year? how is he a head coach already??

imo Braves had too many panic and frantic shots down the stretch. got to give credit to the panthers for stepping up when needed.

we had no answer for the center, Coleman. is this how we are going to stack up vs the big men in the valley??
