For all who’ve been clamoring to see more of the freshmen - and before that, more BBV, more CoHawk… all I have to say is, I hope after today y’all can crow about how right you were! Looks like necessity will be granting your wish…

I'm still not sure many freshman play outside of Goode. More minutes for the others imo

BU literally just said "put the gloves on and fight" on the radio pregame!

Edit: and he just added the word "punch" twice in the same sentence!!

Are you asking if I’m Brad Underwood?

Sad. Feel bad for Trent and Monte. They deserve a packed house

If RJ can't see the floor on a night like tonight......I'm not sure what's happening on the practice floor.

It doesn't seem likely you can ride Trent for 35+....and DMFW is banged up too.

Quick pre-tipoff activity:
Vote here which freshman you think will have the best game today!
No fair voting for Christie…

I think the only freshman that plays much is Goode. I doubt others play more that a min or two of at all. Unless we are losing badly and I hope that doesn't happen.

Well, I did confirm that Indy is Fletch....so it would be apropos!

So if Kofi and Curbelo are out tonight it means the MSU thugs cannot take them out.

Look at the big brain on Brad!!!

ESPN sucks.



I feel better.

Well, our chances of winning this game have significantly gone down. But maybe we get 40 out of Damonte tonight? I mean, it could happen.

I'm not a superstitious person, but I'm about to offer Jobu cigars and rum to end this run of bad luck at this point.

That’s a bet I’d take if I was a gamblin’ man…

Rebounding still a problem.
