I will be at this game. My first one since the Georgia game last year. I'm very excited, especially seeing that most of the tickets are sold.

I just noticed this myself sitting here at the FC early, not in warmups.

How long is the suspension expected to be?

Yep been looking for Al all shootaround.

I want to see Mitchell for a few minutes today.

Feel bad for Al. Chance to be a part of history w/ this team. Don't want to jump to conclusions but gotta put the team first in this situation. But, it does free up King to get into the flow of the game and get more experience heading into March. We're going to need him w/ foul trouble at some point though unless Chuck shows he can give us quality min.

I'm so confused. Coach isn't really known as a discipline guy and this seems like odd timing to start. Hey, what do I know.

Motley with a bucket on the block... he also had our first 4

TCU 3 no good, Miller has been hot

offensive foul on Motley, media TO @ 15:34 with BU up 9-4
Brenden Padilla

motley again inside. He follows that up with an offensive foul. 9-4 bu at the first timeout

This team is long overdue to drop serious pointage on someone.

not saying it won't happen, but we have the #333 adjusted tempo. that's just not what we do.
Brenden Padilla

A difference in the early going this time around with TCU is Brodziansky hasn't gotten going. He is just 1-4 so far. Jo is playIng him well

We aren't built to do that. We are a lot like Virginia.
Hambone

Jake no good with a short runner

Brodz is off again (nice). BU ball
Hambone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Manu open 3 no good... TCU 3 no good

Brodz blocks Maston, then TCU misses another 3, BU ball

great hi-lo to Maston but he misses the bunny, my god

Lindsey needs to drive hard on the baseline. He was timid instead of going in strong and scoring or drawing the foul.

Remember the days when Bu had a section of fans that said we played "street ball" and no defense. Amazing how Drew has changed his philosophy on how he runs a team to elite defense and efficient offense.

Nice try by Maston. Just runs out

I do. I called them all clowns and used stats to show how wrong they were. but yes, Drew has made improvements for sure! he will only get better.
