Time for Stoj to start.

Take care of business as we should, and we should crack the top 10.

Seems like this would be a good game to get Petrovic integrated and let him have a "Petrovic is unplayable" night ahead of Bama.

 

[One Man Fast Break]

If Petrovic can’t go, do you rest him against Alabama so you can get him two games of work against bad teams before UConn? Don’t necessarily want his first game in college coming against a top opponent.

He’ll be playing Friday

That is the plan. He could have gone tonight for a bit had there been foul trouble with the guards. But expect him to get minutes Friday.

I wouldn’t brush them off - Colgate can be good from time to time.

Why are they being so vague about Tomi's injury and the timeline?

 

[band camp]

Injury news is always sensodyne.

I mean maybe I’m completely wrong but that sounds encouraging about Tomi

He should get minutes he deserves, whatever BU thinks that is, when he is ready to play. Once he says put me in coach he plays whenever and whatever coach says.

exactly the way I read it. I assumed the thought of him playing Friday was not in consideration... maybe that's the reality but it didn't sound like that

Hes not a freshman. He's a 22 year old(will turn 23 this season) point guard that has been playing professionally. I don't think he's going to need a work in game or be intimidated by Alabama.

Competitive advantage.
If you're BAMA, how do you prepare now?

Only 9 out of 10 agree with this
