Oh good grief. This has gotta stop in college basketball. Just call it a double foul or call a foul on one guy and play ball. ENOUGH OF THE REVIEWS!
The reviews in college sports, period, are out of control. We need a challenge system to limit the stoppages.

That was so obvious and stupid by omir I'm completely over his childish play.

We are 153rd out of 364 D1 teams in "defensive efficiency."

Somehow there are 211 teams worse on D than us.

FWIW...UH is #1 and ISU is #12.

The problem is that if we make the Tournament, none of our opponents are likely to be any of those 211 teams.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

Your hatred for Omier is weird. Take him off this team and they're 9-16 not 16-9

Yeah, he's been our best player this season. The Omier hate is stupid.

Definitely playing like a freshman tonight. He's really struggling with the wingspan and quick hands of those Arizona guards.

Wrights had quite a few stinkers in conference play. He's either en fuego or putting up duds

If we don't make a run in the next five minutes, we're going to have trouble getting back into this one. We've got to start cutting into this deficit at some point.

Take him off this team and maybe Scott would have used the money to recruit a competent front court. He is an incredibly immature player, we'd be no where without him this year but that's on our coach, it doesn't excuse he's often making just as many stupid decisions as he is making tip ins

Defense much better

In the past couple of football seasons it has become a factor in my decision to stay on my couch or go to McLane.

Omier wiped out the UA radio crew diving for the loose ball. Not sure if he knocked over a drink or just knocked all their notes and stat sheets off the table. They are still trying to sort them out.

Barring a huge turnaround the last 15 we're looking at yet another must win Saturday. This time on the road. At some point we need to win 2 in a row.

Az is a team with lulls every game. They're trying to let Bu back in but I don't know if this team will take it. Just a very poorly played basketball game

You're ******ed. If you want to ***** by all means go right ahead. *****ing about Omier when roach and Nunn have sucked all season is hilarious

How tall is Wright? Legit height. He's nowhere close to the 6'1" we list him. Maybe 5'10"?

This is the most frustrating BU basketball team to watch that I can think of in many years. Every game is frustrating.

Not really..the Allstate Tournament prediction they showed said we are almost lock.at 97%..99 is lock...

So if we continue this win one..lose one .kinda.like Kansas..we safe..

This game's over. This team just isn't good, and it gets proven every time we play a good team.

Roach is just bad

That's assuming we steal another road game or 2. We're a 9 seed on the most recent bracketology. Far from a lock. If we lose in Boulder things wil turn bleak in a hurry

This is still a F4 team

He's terrible. And he's terrible with high usage, which is the worst of all worlds. He destroys our flow and momentum.

AZ +124 prior to tip. Free $$ for those who took them ML

Good. I used to follow the Houston Oilers since I was a kid. Under Jerry Glanville, it appeared that whenever they were going to lose (about half the time), they'd just start doing intentional fouls just to do it. 15 yard personnel fouls, and they got pretty creative with what they did.

Now that we have basically zero chance of winning this game, I think it's time for a couple small fights and a few flagrants. That'll make it more interesting.

I can't figure out why 32 gets as many minutes either

We are getting some fouls on them, maybe that will help as the game goes on

I remember something you posted early in the season and it's held true the entire year. We're athletic enough that we're gonna beat most of the bad teams we play, but we're just not good enough or consistent enough to win very many against really good teams.

Roach is 0-fer in last 2 games.
