If Coulibaly had been healthy . . . . But injuries are part of the game and if cows could fly, more people would wear hats ...and if wishes were horses we'd all ride like kings.

And speaking of cows flying I was thinking the other day that if HC had a healthy LC, and had kept Kyrell Luc, they might be competing for the PL title. End of pointless conjecture.

Tied for fifth place with three to play. For what it's worth, both American and Lafayette have two way tie breakers over HC. HC also comes in 3rd with the 3 way tiebreaker. That being said, I really think IF HC can go 2-1, the way American is free falling, there's a decent chance HC avoids the play in round. Seems like just last year, I was talking about how a win over Army in the last regular season game would keep HC out of that opening round and we all know how that turned out. Hoping it's not deja-vu all over again Perhaps a home playoff game in the opening round would not be the worst thing that could happen. Would give us a good chance at another win and perhaps build additional confidence to move even further in the quarterfinals

After 1:05 PM today, you can see my amateur video that captures the winning basket:

Oh, yeah, what I didn't capture, but those in attendance saw, the refs wanted to be part of this, so they held things up and went to the monitor video to make sure the shot went off before the buzzer.
Dorsey's throw in was good but also kudos to Bo's break from left to right to get open. Well played . . . . . and we haven't been able to say this often enough.
Final comment, note Coach Nelson going right for the handshake line. No need to celebrate with the players.

Unnecessary final comment. I would have thought the players were right behind him on that handshake line. If not, where did they go?

Well designed play..I loved how Bo didn't crash into the defenders, but pulled up and hit that baby jumper...Coach Nelson celebrating with the players would be looked down at by other coaches...Celebrating is for players..The staff was all hyped up after the game, I spoke with 2 oof them, their black shoes weren't touch the floor!!

I remember Paul Pearl saying that he recognized that was the way to handle it while the players were celebrating on the ice after "one of the biggest, maybe the biggest, upset in NCAA men's hockey history..."

I understand that some of you have have intense dislike for BN, but that was a cheap shot at the end of your post.

The moment was for the players. You let them celebrate as you enjoy the moment poised and collected. I think that's the right approach.

Another big play in the game was the 3 by Dorsey with about 2:30 left in the game. it put HC ahead by 1 after a BU run to go ahead by 2...He shot that one from about 2 steps beyound the arc with a lot of confidence.

For the record, Coach Carmody did not run on the floor with the players when Rob Champion hit that 3. Valvano and Massimino did it, but it's not common among coaches.

Game log from December of 2019 says Druzi's shot was w/6 seconds left; Navy had a chance to tie/win but missed a 3.
Here's one I remember. Fordham December, 1981 (81-82 season). Ed Thurman was fouled at the buzzer. Made both shots w/the lanes "empty". Toughest shots to make, IMHO, especially w/the game on the line.

Was this Dorsey’s career high in points and attempts ? I believe they are season.highs.

One of the keys to Bo’s game winning hoop which he pointed out in the post game, was the perfect inbounds pass from Dorsey. He was on the other side of the hoop so the perfectly placed bounce pass was perhaps his only option. Only option that had the potential to be successful. If he had not executed a bounce pass he could have opted for a pass that his the backside of the hoop which does happen.

They are partisans of course but at the same time they have one foot in the camp of adult leadership at the event which serves as a check on things getting out of hand.

The defender on Dorsey erred by letting the ball be entered to the opposite side.from where he was standing. His job is to direct the pass to the near side by positioning his body toward that side

Watching from home - wanted to go but some other commitments got in the way - I thought that too but realized it was pretty obvious it was out of his hand in time and they were more likely looking to see if there was any time left on the clock when the ball went thru the hoop. If it was enough for a baseball pass and a tip in (0.4 sec?) they likely would have re-set the clock and played it out. Oh, and it was close. About 0.2 when the ball was completely through the hoop when I pause the above video.

Did anyone else notice one of the BU assistant coaches seemed to be irked at the end of the game? He seemed to be upset with one of the HC players - it looked like Jones and Nelson were discussing something in the handshake line at the end of game - it seemed like Jones was making it out to be no big deal.
Also what was the deal with BU's Walter Whyte sitting on a table in the lobby after the game? Seemed to be odd because the rest of the team was in the locker room. some kind of punishment?

Both Bo and BN credited Dorsey's inbounds pass to Bo for the winning shot. It was a bounce pass that went between two defenders. Most players would not have used a bounce pass. Hes such an underrated passer, I don't understand why they don't run him at PG more often
