Boston College Regular Season Finale Game Thread

Thanks to the resurgent Orange (and to Wake for beating Duke earlier in the week), NC State is now poised to earn the ACCT 7 seed with a win today. That would leave us likely playing #10 Miami on Thursday, followed by the aforementioned Orange on Friday. Unfortunately, unless #6 Clemson or #11/14 Wake/BC show MUCH more than I expect…Duke would await on Saturday. And State needs to make it to Sunday in order to have a shot at a dance invite.

But…first things first. Boston College is locked in as the #14 seed, and with good reason (they’ve sucked, just not VPI-level sucked). But they do have one very good player (Olivier Hanlon), and did win at Syracuse. We need to see lots of Hipster Cat today, hopefully locking OH down and leading us to an easy victory.

A loss would leave State at #9, and a Thursday game against a confident Maryland team. Let’s not think too much about that.

    Seriously it’s like watching 6 year olds playing out there next to Warren.

    There we go, Buckets.

    At least KH is giving defensive effort.

    Thanks for the comments, folks. The score I can see anytime, but the comments help with the non-visual suffering. I must say, “seeing” the game f’d up vicariously through these comments is somehow MORE infuriating than watching at home.

    Keep em coming, pls, tho, it’s all I got. And it beats the hell out of worrying over consolidated project plans.

    I honestly didn’t think Greene was going to make that call.

    If he doesn’t leave Anya, Lee, Barber, Freeman, and Warren out there then I give up.

    Methinks Buckets should coach the rest of the way, too.

    Is Tony Warren seriously going to have back to back 40 point games??? That’s grown man stuff. Hope the Knicks draft him so I can watch my new apartment will be two avenues away.

    Buckets to the line, trying to expand the 38-28 scoring advantage he has over our other 8 guys.

    If you count the points he assisted on…what percentage of our offense is Buckets tonight? At least 70%.

    Hey Bill @ the Beach – Don’t know that the BC coach is a “ChessMaster” compared to our guy.

    Not being a coach, and having looked at games for 50 years, it just seems we want to make the game harder than it really seems. As a coach it would seem you decide on a system, recruit the best players you can, and coach them up to how you want them to run your system. When game time comes it is the coaches job to continually make adjustments throughout the game — calling defenses, shuffling players in and out. Most importantly, whether ahead or behind you have got to make adjustments and try to anticipate what the opponent is going to do and be ready to counter them.

    What am I missing?

    Does not get enough credit for his hustle and rebounds – and assists.

    Still not going to be Player of the Week. No Blue on him.

    43/ 67 = 64%
