Rough Rider

OK, so we've regressed a bit. Our lovable bunch of Terrier pups fell victim to their inexperience on Saturday against Rider. The game was competitive and back-and-forth almost the whole time... until the last few minutes, when we went cold and Rider opened up a lead.

A big key to our loss, in my opinion, was the absence of back-up point guard Brian Macon. Yeah you heard me right: Brian Macon. It's true that we here at BU Hoops::doggy-style have been down on Mr. Macon at times. But it was obvious during Saturday's game that some players (specifically Carlos Strong, who had a measly 2 points) would have benefited from having a "pass-first" PG out on the floor. Unfortunately, Brian sustained a groin injury, and hopefully he'll be back sooner rather than later.

Corey Lowe and Omari played pretty well, and Scott Brittain finally showed a little bit of his talent with 9 points and a bunch of boards in 35 minutes.
