Great to see Jake break out of his slump. Going to need him if we’re gonna make a run.

I’ve shared the story a few times today about what happened when the plane touched down after the Rutgers game.

Commitment to the process paid off!!

This was yet another game where having more than one defensive system would have been beneficial. Teams will watch this tape and try to exploit the high ball screen in the same way that MSU did today. Of course, it worked until MSU got super hot, but they were also super cold on the same shots in the first half. If we throw a zone at them in the middle of that run, we could force them to try something else besides spamming the high ball screen. Maybe it gets a couple stops and knocks them out of rhythm, or at least forces them to try something else.

BU on radio interview............................

our first half was a clinic
Pizza hut fight and we won it
having a hard time figuring out our rotations but bench did great
talked about Jake and Fonz doing that early morning workout
defense the first half was as good as it gets
did a great job on Gabe B. and Max C.
next 3 of 4 are home games
happy for the guys to bounce back and beat a ranked team on the road

Now, what the heck was up on that foul call and then allowing the 3 pter to count for msu.......The ref , Kelly P ...called the foul on Jake , and it was a foul ,
but he was waving OFF and then pointed down to the court after he blew the whistle ......How was that 3 pt shot then allowed to count ??????
I bet Larry S. had something to do with it ......It's how he refs our games .......poorly......................

great game by all of the players and kudos to Kofi and Jake with the scoring side of it , but , MAN , we play some NASTY defense....never trailed in the game and the dagger by Trent at the end was a thing of beauty........

sitting here with NL # 3 enjoying our third or fourth glass of wine .......might be time to celebrate and take a nap and get ready for that VICTORY chili dinner..............................

12-4 in the B1G ......now we are tied and purdont has the hottest team in the B1G coming to Mackey tomorrow.......

WHEW................................................................................

i might get vehemently disagreed with, but i thought they forced walker to take the exact type of shots we want..long 2s. He just kept making the mfers lol.

He did make 1 3 where belo shouldve been closer thoguh

I agree. We wanted him shooting those shots. That’s what our d is designed for. And it’s why we won. Had he been hitting threes or getting and ones we were in trouble. But we allowed them to trade twos when they were down. So I get what you’re saying.

Most teams run similar offensive sets. With the way he was shooting the last 3 minutes, I don’t think a zone would have helped. We didn’t stick him and our help defense could have been much better.
