+ BU can't diagram in-bounds plays. On Thursday evening I didn't see a single clever one from us. This is how we lost to Maryland at home X years ago. Clearly it will happen again today and he's an inferior coach.
Let's get a few more game thread dogmas out of the way... 🙂

Good Coleman, Bad Coleman, Dumb Coleman

This is why we need a PG

If [insert player name here] would put more arc on his shot, they'd all go in
+ We need more people in the rotation so we can press more. You can’t win with an 8 man rotation.

Maryland has really really really had our number. If we can keep Scott from going off, I like our chances, but he's had some games against us. So has Young for that matter. Cold day, odd game time, way underachieving opponent who historically plays one of their best games of their season against us... as far as I'm concerned, just get out of this one with a win and I'm happy.

Crowd is light so far. Cold as heck walking in!! Just watched Dainja sink about 100 straight FT’s warming up.

Maryland must not read the scout report, they literally left Goode wide open from 3 to cover Ty lol

Coleman keeps getting beat down low and then recovering. He’s successfully recovered 3 of 5, but the others were a basket and a foul. Not a recipe for success, despite the high skill shown on the recovery.

I think Dain could find some good minutes here. Need a big body to throw at Julian Reese if they’re going to look to go to him in the paint. Not to mention CoHawk already has 1 foul

What is with our rebounding lately? Pick it up!
Yeah, we need to start getting as aggressive on the defensive boards as we are on the offensive boards. Just too much waiting flat footed for the bounce off the rim to come to them rather than attacking the ball in the air. Definitely been a problem these past 3 games

Looked for this on the web but couldn’t find it. Does the Assembly Hall shrink in circumference when it gets really cold?
