Question? Did Ace Baldwin injure himself flopping on the first play of the game? Ain't karma a !!!!!??

Maybe, is that a flip/flop?
Not at all. Few people at least including me have mentioned it. Hopefully being aggressive in other areas will get him in a rhythm and work like it has for Ben. This was first game in last few where I felt he’s getting close.
He did play well, but his shots just aren't falling. BU's history (most recently with Ben) shows that Will will continue to be encouraged to shoot it. He had a few wide open looks tonight. I was really hoping that one or two would fall to boost his confidence. I love this team and we will need Will at some point.

This is a Tre White appreciation post!
I am have just been so pleasantly surprised how easy he makes it look to get to the basket.
He reminds me of a less athletic Larry Bird wait scratch that.
He reminds me of Terrence Shannon a bit, without the 3 point shooting and fast breaks. Anyone one else get that feeling?

Baldwin played it up, but Boswell totally discarded him with an elbow. I'm calling a foul there everytime.
Devil’s advocate, was this poster accidentally dropped on his head as a young child?
Finally a BIG team in the top 10 --couldn't have picked a better one! Fantastic performance again. I heard we had a guy out for an injury, but seemed like they got through it alright.
Duke up to #1 in KP, #4 in AP. Given we're the only ranked team left on their schedule, I could see them going higher when we play.
Three 20 point scorers
I have combed box scores including 04-05, flying Illini, mid 80s teams, Frankie and the Peoria kids, but I cannot find another game in our entire school history that we’ve had three 20 point scorers. Can anyone help me with this? I think last night may have been the first time.

Morez looked like a little Kofi out there. A Rezspresso if you will.
I'll see myself out.

Tre closest to TJ in athletic ability and adapted to role. May be the closer in the long term.
Still amazed at DGL’s athleticism. Needed a pilots license on that block. If we can get Riley going, a bench of Rez, Riley, and DGL is amazing, especially defensively.

John Wilkes is a more popular Booth in Illinois right nowCarey Booth is soooooo checked outsorry bud
They stopped evrything PSU tried. When Brad had the lineup/match-ups and went with the switching man on the perimeter, it was impenetrable. It appears to me that is the defensive wrinkle s he uses instead of going zone.
On the replay, you could see Boswell's elbow hit Baldwin's chest. In the next couple frames, you could also see that it had no impact on Baldwin's chest. But Baldwin's head rocketed back. That ain't physics.

Go back on your meds!
You are hereby dispelled of those anoying nagging thoughts. I hope you feel better
He was definitely the better shooter.
I fully expected Rosenthal's research department to be @Fighter of the Nightman
Yep. He needs to improve his outside shooting to have a real chance though.
thanks for the post. I didn’t comb the box scores well enough it appears. How many times did we do it before 1980 and what players did it?
