Duke squeaks by BU, 64-47

First impression: GREAT start to the season by the Terriers. Yes, we lost by 17. But our defense held the number one team in the country to under 65 points (they will probably average over 80). And we saw some flashes of our younger guys that make me very excited about BU basketball for the next 4 years.

Ibrahim Konate, Brian Macon, Corey Hassan and Ben Coblyn all showed why our new class is so highly regarded. Gardner and Wynn showed some of the leadership we're going to need. Obviously, we need to work on our turnovers and offensive flow, but nothing's gonna be perfect against #1.

First half was pretty exciting. Here at my place, Mary, Bobbie, Mark and I were jumping off the couch every time we hit a shot to keep our lead (well, Mark didn't arrive until halftime, and Bobbie was kind of stuck in the poppazon chair - but Mary and I definitely were jumping). The halftime deficit was kind of a bummer, but we played a great second half and we were more than pleased with the final score.

Bring on Michigan!
