This game is the last game of the year (possibly excepting the B-buster)that we will be the underdog. There was a post on one of the other threads to the effect that maybe we aren't all that good. In all honesty, I believe we went from getting too little respect to being over respected by the ESPNs etc in their never ending quest for the great story. People who really know nothing about BU BB expected us to beat 'nova. In all honesty we should have beaten SC, but many on this board fretted about the SC game beforehand--because this is not a team of supermen. I truly do not believe we would fare well against a steady stream of top 25 competition--if we did, something would be wrong given the type of player/student we get compared to what they get.

Fact is though, this is as good as it has ever gotten for a PL team, and after Duke (which would be a true miracle)we need to get back to taking care of the real business of the year--winning the PL. And everybody starts even on 1/7. What SC proved was what I think we all knew anyway, that going into a decent teams home court is tough, and thus I'll worry about each PL road game until we put it behind us (maybe not Army--but remember the playoffs a few years ago).

Duke--I won't worry about one bit--its the last game of the year in which the Bison have nothing to lose.

Author: bison137 [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:34:15 12/31/05 Sat Realistically the Bison go into this game as an underdog of more than 15 points (some would say 20). To hold the margin down to 10 or 12 would be a good accomplishment. Anything better than that would be great. McNaughton and Badmus need to stay out of foul trouble if the Bison want to have any chance.
