Big next step for these guys is to win a road game… haven’t done it. Had one neutral court win and that’s about it.
Let’s stop the bleeding guys and get a W today.
One neutral court win against a team 10 years removed from D-II. In overtime.
Let’s do this.

I’ve been 2-0 this season picking BC wins, I’m going to put that streak on the line and say the Eagles pull off their third ACC win of the season today.

I heard he was, but he might play today. I usually take the starters from the last game and plug them into these gamethreads. Hence the “probable” for the opponent, “projected” for BC (since that comes from the bceagles.com game notes).

The worst part about Lazy Elvis, was we never even got a shot and then turned the ball over at one time after 4 straight timeouts!!!!
This is why I have high BP and gray hair and
I’ve noticed a few more gray hairs lately. A dusting, if you will.

BC needs to run the Offense Thru the BMD!
3-12 for trifecta range?
Clifford can take that guy down low and now has set himself low in the bokcs with his back to the hoop and has shown he can kick it out.
Clifford has to touch the ball every set.
If he does not take the first shot coming out of the half, then patouie!
Let the BIG MAROON DOG EAT!
At least our uniforms are now maroon and gold instead of red and tan.
Offensive foul to start the half? Fantastic.

I don’t mind transition 3s when they have their feet set… the shots by Lonnie and Danny were akward/forced.
Rubin took a brutal shot w both feet on the line. Lonnie had his feet set and it was actual 3(more acceptable)

Nothing to lose?
Their zone defense is at least intense and they hustle as compared to the matador style D in the waning years of Elvis.
