A look at UCONN - BU

[meyers7]

I know I only get to do this for the low level games (and nobody cares). But it's still kind of fun to do.

BU. 3 games in 3 days. Maybe the Bonnies will get a little break on the 3rd day. No such luck for the Terriers. Terriers have had a rough start. They come in 1-3 ,but all games have been pretty close. They start 3 seniors, a soph and a freshman. They will play up to about 9 deep, but only the two bench players listed seem to contribute. The other 2 Scannell and Hope are avg. 0.8 ppg between them.

BU has no height. Like none. UCONN should have free reign on the inside if Geno chooses to go there. They are not a good shooting team. They avg about 17 3pt per game, with Callahan and Poppe taking most of them. Hope has taken 10 but has yet to make any (or score at all).

They are in the Patriot League with Holy Cross, so that’s about their level. The last few times UCONN has played Holy Cross, they haven’t broken 40. Don’t expect BU to either.

This will be a walk in the park for UCONN. A chance for Lawlor and Pulido to get some time. And I imagine they will since there are 3 games in a row. That’s about all that will keep the score down. That and UCONN unable to press with limited players. UCONN needs to shoot 3 pts better. (of course their best 3 pt shooter is on the bench so that doesn’t help) This should be a 50+ win. For those who don’t like “boring” games, sorry.

I’ll go 91-38.

meyers....well done..and we care... Brilliantly conceived and flawlessly executed..... When I read it I wept, laughed and felt the earth move... I hope this probationary period ends in 10-15 years and you can do this full time...

Was Banks announced as a starter for this game?

Ah, we still love you Meyers....

Who is "we"? No Boneyarders I know.

Was Banks announced as a starter for this game?

I'm assuming. No need for a big lineup tonight.
