Basketball survives scare from UNH

It took OT, but BC did (finally) beat UNH. The win is good. Having to take it to overtime, is not. This was BC's last game before ACC play. Right now they don't appear ready. If Eli Carter can barely carry this team over UNH, how is he going to do it against Duke?

There's not much to take away from this game. Carter scored, but not efficiently and still turned the ball over too often. Robinson was okay, but most of the freshmen did not do much. BC couldn't make 3s or FTs. The D was not good.

I don't know what to expect now. I thought this team would show toughness in the early games and work out the kinks. Even with the Chipolte issues, this team is not clicking. I hope they don't get even more discouraged over the next three weeks.

When we lost to UMass Lowell you knew we were in trouble. UMass Lowell just got beat by Wagner by 10 points. Duke next.

BC sports should dump "Ever to Excel" and replace it with: "Forever Young and Rebuilding for the Future".

Half the team was sick for the Lowell game, so I'm not too concerned there. Needing OT at home to beat UNH? It's going to be another rough year of ACC play. BC is young, but so are a lot of teams. If the youth is accompanied by talent, yeah, you work through the turnovers and such. For the most part, though, the talent just isn't at the ACC level and hasn't been for years. There's little evidence that will change.

Hey they won. Every year after the Christmas l/o the team has a tough time getting it back together. Can't believe how the knee jerk reaction on this blog is always gloom. Why don't we all take the Jim Jones juice now.
