I wouldn't mind if we struggled a little today. Probably a good thing long term. Just keep winning. There are basically no easy games from here on.

Need to hit our 3s, especially Lecomte. But we also can take advantage of their size down low.

We need to stop playing around with perimeter shots and just start dropping the inside and taking 2 the physical way.

First team that's moved the ball well against our zone and it's being exposed with them hitting open shots.

Our guards (not Manu or Freeman) haven't had to step up all season on offense but they must now and Jake comes through.
Hambone

Jake with a massive 3, 37-36 BU :40

ISU misses, then Al is blocked, Maston no good at buzzer.

37-36 BU @ half

Use the glass Maston. Ugly half but we're still up 1.
