Boxlines of the Week

The High Roller's computer is on the fritz these days, so I'm taking on his running segment this week.

Boxline of the Week

Tyler Morris - 12/6/08 (vs. Marshall)

 Player Name            FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF  TP  A TO BLK S MIN
Morris, Tyler....... g  3-4    3-4    4-5    0  3  3   3  13  5  3  0  0  37
It would have been very easy to just plug in Corey Lowe's 36
points against Marshall... too easy. But honestly, I think Tyler's breakout game
shooting-wise is a much more important development for the team. He sank a
couple tough three's to get going, and then after that he was butta cause he was
on a roll. A healthy, productive Tyler Morris means everything to the success of
the team. Having him (along with Carlos Strong) as a solid secondary scorer
behind the three-headed monster. Plus Tyler deserves this after two straight
Boxlines of the Weak from the High Roller. 

Boxline of the Weak
 

Scott Brittain - 12/3/08 (@ Harvard)

 Player Name            FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF  TP  A TO BLK S MIN
Brittain, Scott.....    0-2    0-0    1-2    1  1  2   4   1  1  0  0  2   9

I know that it's mostly not Scotty's fault. But at what point do we begin wondering 

if last year's 3rd Team All-AE, 10 ppg Scott is coming back for his sophomore year. 

He has been back from his concussion for 5 games now, and it hasn't gotten much 

better than this game against Harvard. Some of it has to do with JOB's emergence. 

How much of it has to do with what Wolff calls his lack of aggression out there?

Boxlines

I was thinking of just doing a Boxline of the Weak, and putting up last nights box score, but that's pretty lame, so here we go:

Boxline of the Week:

Scott Brittain Vs. Stony Brook on 1/19/08

STARTERS	MIN	FGM-A	FTM-A	OFF	REB	AST	PF	PTS
S. Brittain	37	4-12	7-9	5	10	4	2	15

This is what we need every game from Scott.



Boxline of the Weak:

Scott Brittain Vs. UMBC on 1/22/08

STARTERS	MIN	FGM-A	FTM-A	OFF	REB	AST	PF	PTS
S. Brittain	20	0-4	0-1	1	5	1	5	0

This is what's unacceptable from Scott.

Which Scott Brittain will show up Friday? Show up and find out for yourself.

Boxlines

It's a few days late, but here is the Boxline of the Week:


Corey Lowe, vs. Albany 1/16

FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF  TP  A TO BLK S MIN

6-19   5-12   3-4    0  1  1   4  20  4  3  1  3  40

Not all that impressive, I know, but according to BU's website, Corey played 40 minutes on Wednesday, so that's why his is the boxline of the week. Plus it wasn't that impressive a week on our side anyway.

And your Boxline of the Weak:

Valdas Sirutis, @ Hartford 1/12

FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT PF  TP  A TO BLK S MIN
0-0    0-0    0-0    0  0  0   0   0  0  1  0  0  12

No points, no boards, no assists, not even a shot. Just one turnover. What the hell was he doing in there for 12 minutes? Discussing the best places to eat in Eastern Europe with Max Gotzler?

Oh, and here's a couple stats from last night's game that might make you puke:

Rebounds: BU 20 - Albany 38
Shooting %: BU 35.3 - Albany 54.5

I guess at the very least we can call it a breakout game for John Holland with 19 points.

We're a nationally recognized school!!

Straight from the front page of ESPN.com's mens basketball page. Too bad the cover story was about UMass and we look like we are affraid of the ball in this picture. Still, bad publicity is still publicity.


Thought I'd try something new, so here is my Boxline of the Week:

## Player Name            FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT
22 Strong, Carlos...... f  6-10   5-9    1-1    0  5  5  
    
   PF  TP  A TO BLK S MIN
   1  18  6  1  0  0  38

And, here's my Boxline of the Weak:

## Player Name            FG-FGA FG-FGA FT-FTA OF DE TOT
01 Konate, Ibrahim.....    0-1    0-0    0-0    0  0  0  

   PF  TP  A TO BLK S MIN
   0   0  0  3  0  0   8

Both came in our Narrow loss to Holy Cross. Look for this everyweek, this is something that I'm going to try to keep going.
