This team was 4 - 12 last year in the ACC and has a solid chance to finish up this year at 9 - 7. That's a great turnaround and I think most would have certainly taken that record before the season began.Daltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10467141065607199149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-67154749734110330502009-03-05T15:45:00.000-05:002009-03-05T15:45:00.000-05:00BJK, I've been complaining about the "one man show...BJK, I've been complaining about the "one man show" predictability of our offense all year. I guess Al's plan is to live by the sword (winning shot agianst FSU) or die by the sword (final shot last night) with Rice. And I agree about Williams. He didn't handle hiomself well, but he sure got the wrong end of stick by BCPD, who do not come off smelling like roses by any means.morrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588147216432968173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-67698375085395180982009-03-05T15:38:00.000-05:002009-03-05T15:38:00.000-05:00One other thing.

Although I found the guy exasperating at times (and maybe we really could have gone all the way to the National Championship) - I wish Sean Williams the best. I hope he can square away some of his issues and reach his true potential - and his true bliss and happiness. That's my hope for everyone, anyway.<BR/><BR/>BC "5-0" looked pretty stupid on that one.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-42001115293098695402009-03-05T15:13:00.000-05:002009-03-05T15:13:00.000-05:00If you read my post from last night, you know I wa...If you read my post from last night, you know I was at the game. Morrina, I can tell you that all of the fans surrounding me were groaning loudly when Rakim touched the ball coming down the stretch. They had Rice pretty well smothered and he had to alter some of his shots - no question that the ball should have been distributed to someone else - Rakim especially. God bless him, but in some regards this young team will be better with Rice off to some pro league next year. Then ANYONE on the floor might take the crucial shots, and the defenders can't key on one man.<BR/><BR/>I agree with TBSBC03 - NC State was pretty physical with us at times - and whenever their fans would yell "that's a foul" when they were unhappy with a call - I would smile and point out to all around me that "so was that" whenever appropriate.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Their big lineup did give us problems. <BR/><BR/>This young team now gets the chance to win a game that is truly a must win. GT will be tough with a weak homecrowd due to vacation.<BR/><BR/>Let's see if Al can give them the proper motivation and coaching. Go BC - Beat GT on Saturday - Finish 9-7; 21-10. Yes, we would have taken that at the start of the season but many of us are disappointed now.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you, BCMike -- Al needs to bring in a quality big man or two, while his coaches oversee improvement plans for Southern and Dunn, etc - this team will be a contender for the next two seasons for sure.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-6680483620872643522009-03-05T13:51:00.000-05:002009-03-05T13:51:00.000-05:00The Sean Williams saga ends...http://sports.espn.g...The Sean Williams saga ends...<BR/><BR/>http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3954685morrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588147216432968173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-46871747031414575492009-03-05T13:38:00.000-05:002009-03-05T13:38:00.000-05:00Once again thanks to JP from Dorchester for the li...Once again thanks to JP from Dorchester for the link to justin.tv.

How do you come out so scorchingly hot, and then fail to do much consistently on the offensive end for the entire rest of the game? I agree, Patrick, as soon as the commentators said, "get it to Rice for the final shot", I thought.....WHY?! Give it to Rakim....he just made three 3s in a row! Rice was 0 for 5, and I know that doesn't always matter because he can nail one at any time, but don't you go for the hot hand? I still think we are far enough off the bubble, but now, what are we looking at? A 10 or 11 seed? I guess my disappointment only shows how far we have exceeded expectations.morrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588147216432968173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-87958161270415561982009-03-05T13:21:00.000-05:002009-03-05T13:21:00.000-05:00GT just knocked off Miami... beware.GT just knocked off Miami... beware.Deacon Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827411603052143857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-30480995849897507622009-03-05T10:33:00.000-05:002009-03-05T10:33:00.000-05:00I think what bothered me most about this one is th...I think what bothered me most about this one is the fact that we never adjusted to the way the game was being called. This was a very physical game, and we never changed our style of play. Southern isn't the sort of big man who is going to convert while he's being mugged (unlike their big oaf McCauley). Ty can't keep taking it into the lane to get hammered if he's not going to get to the line. I'm a big Al fan, but between his not adjusting and Lowe's moves in the last minute, Al got outcoached in this one.@timstwrthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449880547941136306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-84942459449994754142009-03-05T10:00:00.000-05:002009-03-05T10:00:00.000-05:00My buddy who is not a BC fan watched the game with...My buddy who is not a BC fan watched the game with me and commented repeatedly about how poor Southern played. <BR/><BR/>The NCST blog had it correct. He's 6'10" and plays like he's 6'3". <BR/><BR/>We desperately need a big man. Josh *usually* plays good position defense. Aside from that, he's really very poor. I don't know how else to put it.BCMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259278849389650910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-52112643477987363192009-03-05T09:19:00.000-05:002009-03-05T09:19:00.000-05:00Give Lowe credit for having his boys get those two...Give Lowe credit for having his boys get those two quick fouls before we could get off any kind of shot. This is where the lack of inbounds plays hurts us even more. We were forced to inbound away from the three point line and then try and dribble to get there - big mistake and NCSU did the right thing. Too many opposing coaches let the offense dictate that last shot scenario, Lowe did not take that chance.conlonchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199055648750423099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-81883221655399451882009-03-05T08:33:00.000-05:002009-03-05T08:33:00.000-05:00Dislikes- Sanders being white hot and Rice not pas...Dislikes- Sanders being white hot and Rice not passing him the ball in favor of incessant dribbling on the perimeter.TheFivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04915265564962871007noreply@blogger.com
