Faw picks up another foul and hits the bench.

That's the kind of foul Faw cannot commit.

Offensive player and ball movement is night and day vs last year.
Really struggling in the paint/at the rim on the defensive end. Would be great if Louth could get into the mix sooner than later to have another body down there. For those who thought Nelson didn't know how to coach offense, I recommend rewinding and watching the set at the 10:53 mark that ended in Bubba curling off a stagger screen for a layup. Perfectly executed play with the 1-2-3 freshmen combo + a JuCo transfer in his second D1 game. It's actually the defense he hasn't shown the ability to coach. The defense still stinks.

#33 can shoot. #15 can't defend. Unfortunately, he can't shoot from the bench. Mathon is gonna eat #15's lunch every game. The hands straight up don't draw a foul, but they don't stop baskets either. Use your ass and keep him out of the paint/block in the first place.

I’m not sure how one can watch this game and not laugh and shake their heads in the absolute stupidity that is the charade of wearing these masks. A total joke!!! Chin straps??? Wearing the 'masks' in this context is silly and needless enough - wearing them around mouths and chins just makes the empty gesture particularly empty. If that is even possible.

Great adjustment on the entry pass by Wade to Gates. Smart

That was a terrible four minutes for both teams, in particular what cmo just said. The commercial in this case is more than welcome.

Game is getting very sloppy. Both teams already looking tired from the back-to-back.

If BU is one of the top 2 teams in the league, I like our chances this season.....I feel like we are one good 5 away! Rabinovich and Coulibaly, can they help?

Keep looking inside - another nice entry to Gates. Big guy uses his body really well.

that last play, my daughter's youth coach used to call it "the escort". You follow a guy down the court in bad position all the way, then at the end foul them, many times for a 3 point play .

Nice finish--much better than the finish to first half yesterday. Nice bucket by Gates at the end-- did it not count? EDIT: ESPN box score at first had it 36-37 at the half Gates looked great again--I think we will find that he will not have a high FG percentage but when you go to him he will be able to maneuver for a shot.

I really can't remember the last time we had a guy with Gates' skill set.
Who does he parallel over the last 20-30 years?

I sure hope Martindale desperately needed a break because sitting him for3 minutes certainly took him out of his rhythm.

Based off the size of Gates' Biceps and how hyped the strenghth coach was after that shot, I think this strength coach deserves a raise. I love his energy he is a catalyst. What a finish to the half. This Gates guy is an absolute BRUISER. BULLY BALL!

Gates scored nine of the final twelve HC points of the half, in about 4 1/2 minutes

If I heard correctly, the announcers said that BU has an 18 man roster... Is that allowable??? Also, Louth was at the game in sweats yesterday but does not appear to be there today... Why not???

This Gates guy is an absolute BRUISER. BULLY BALL! I think the big factor could be that he lost 20 pounds and is still a beast, but a quicker beast
