All aboard the hype train!

The starting 5 (SC TSJ RJ MM CH) will all be in the NBA next season and this team will go 32-0 and win that National Championship.

In all honesty, I love how much POTENTIAL this team has. I love the depth. A lot of teams have 1 or 2 superstars to rely on but this team could have different ones each game. That also means we could have all our players go off or none.

I think a lot of our success this season lies on the coaches. Can Brad adjust to opposing teams quick enough? With so many buttons to push, can he push the right ones at the right time? I feel much more confident that we have a team that plays BU's style of basketball! I just still think about the Loyola game way too often.

I don't think making the sweet 16 AND winning a B1G regular season championship is unreasonable for this team.

To the naked eye, I can't tell if it is a block or goaltending. I pocket the whistle. Looking at it frame by frame, it is goaltending. Rodgers is exactly one frame late. (The video is 60fps?) Given that Rodgers plays for Illinois, the refs will call this every time.
You forgot the part where the NCAA then proceeds to change the rules to Slam Ball style the next season, because they thought to themselves well what if Duke lost because of a boring goaltending??

Just being nitpicky, but they'd go 40-0 and win the NC.

I'm just a little bit nervous now about big man depth with the Perrin news. This is a dumb question but are there still guys in the transfer portal at this point? Could we still sign another big man for this season?
I don't think BU ever expected Perrin to be a 2022-23 contributor. His absence will not affect our depth.

Hey I have a question. Has the ticket office sent out the email offering IFund donations for parking passes. I haven't seen one yet just wondering if I missed it.

Thanks

Missed student ticket...again today. Website crushed when I tried to log in, and when it is restored the tickets are sold out.
But the schedule was great: play all 4 least competitive opponents twice (Nebraska, NW, Minnesota, Penn State). I can expect 13-14 wins, hopefully more.

Well, I agree that he's primarily a futures play (like most frosh). However, I feel that he'd be a minor role player at the outset (and contribute). If one of our bigs goes down, we'd have a lot more cover than we do now. Very happy that he'll be able to join the team in late December.

Pretty sure all student tickets. Krush can't be 3000.

Really looking forward to developing an atmosphere that people fear again. Coming along, but still not where it was at its peak. All indications are that we'll get there soon, probably this year.
According to Werner article I saw, 1,100 were Krush tickets and those sold out in 5 minutes.

You can do that at any point just call the I-fund. I did it in June... I didn't you know you actually get a football parking pass and basketball pass as well for your 100$ donation!

Yep, Captain's club is worth it just for the parking for football, although I'll probably up my level next year.
