Tough not to feel pretty good after 1.5 games. Not perfect but lots to like. Hopefully we can put our superior conditioning to work and win this one in the second half.

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??? Who knows? Hopefully he is back at the Hart Center working out. IIRC, Nelson said he hadn't had access to a gym in months. I think it's going to be a while before he plays.

Good solid half...Nice offense, only 1 turnover! 47% from the floor shooting, and rebounding is tied at 18....Looking at the on-line stats there is a line for "on court points", HC leads 32-20...I have no idea what that means, never have I seen or heard of that stat! HC used 9 players...

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. It counted.
Gerrale a respectable 12-26 in his first fifty minutes - with eight offensive rebounds

Could be a rule about not traveling this season unless you’re dressed to play. Not sure why he’s not dressing if he’s eligible to play. Edit: just saw the above post about no gym access for months. Still could dress him if it would mean he could travel.

Only one turnover for the half, I will echo, is phenomenally good. Only 2 bench points may speak to the roster/rotation in the early stages of 2021...

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 would put him in the group with Keister, Szatko, and Dudzinski.

You can have 30 on the roster, but only 13 can receive financial aid. (Except in the Ivies, which award no merit aid.)

Much better on the boards today, 18-18.
Wade with game-high four assists

Why not??? 18 players, I don't think there is a limit, just a max on schollies....Harvard had 20 a few years back....No idea on Louth. Perhaps he is not eligible until 2nd semester starts? ( must be enrolled to be eligible, so if he hasn't started classes that could be the reason. just a guess) If so,he could not travel with the team..

I go way back..Gates reminds me of Keith Hochstein....He was always described as a bull in a china shop..

Very impressed by RJ's discipline. He was a big scorer in HS, but definitely looking to facilitate

Butler looks so much better letting the game come to him through these first two games.
We're getting defensive deflections at a rate that we haven't seen since the RW days.
