We played up to our pre-season ranking.
Keep playing like that and we'll be #1 before we know it.

Eeeeeked out a win.

Seriously, already said my accolades in the game thread. Just worried about the injuries. No Mirk and Jake for an extended period of time is not good. But the quality of depth looks good.

Not sure what the ROI was on this game, but I am sure BU will find a way in the post game. Good to see the bench and frosh play a bit above the curve.

Only 5 turnovers was a great number. Thirty assist on 46 makes was good. Shooting numbers were good but tailed off considerably lat after our ninth man went to the bench. Good to see a bit of hustle and aggressiveness from Tomi too.

This is a wonderful group of frosh and I hope they all earn degrees here. Not likely for Coleman...we will see.

Now, Mirk, Jake, and Lincoln need to get healthy and back to climbing the "getting better every game" ladder.
