How 'Bout™ BU...again!

While I'm trying to put last night's Hartford game back into perspective and remind myself that it's ONLY a regular season game and it will mean nothing once the tournament starts, Kyle at Mid-Majority has done that nicely with a shout out in today's Boubacar:

And How 'Bout™ Boston University? While other America East teams are jockeying for position and generally pushing each other around, the Terriers (12-15, 8-6) are slowly creeping up on the America East charts. Last night, they moved into a three-way tie for second by blasting Hartford behind John Holland's 38 points. After digging themselves a 2-5 hole to start league play (attributable in part to Tyler Morris' foot injury and recovery), BU is back! Seven wins in eight games, and the loss was a tight three-point drop at regular season champs UMBC.

It's nice to get some love after winning 8 of 9 games - and Kyle can always be counted on for that. Remember, this is our second "How 'Bout™" in 16 days!

Not bad for a team that is still under .500.

How 'Bout™..... those Terriers!

We haven't deserved it all year, but thanks to last night's destruction of SUNY-B the Terriers finally got some love from the Mid-Majority. From today's "Boubacar":

How 'Bout™ the mighty Terriers of Boston University? After a few key injuries, they barely survived nonconference with a 3-9 start, then lost five of their first seven America East games. But they're back, baby... four straight wins have brought them above .500 in the league, including a convincing 79-53 drubbing of ring-a-ding Binghamton. Highly tooted (and touted) 6-5 freshman John Holland broke through with a 25-point performance, his first really outstanding game in his collegiate career.

I can't recommend his site highly enough, despite Kyle's pre-season choice of Binghamton to win the AE. And he always manages to take in a few BU games every year.

Last night was amazing. I can't really put it any better than the High Roller did already. Learning to step on the throat of an opponent is something this team needs to do when it gets a lead, and they did that last night. And they had fun doing it.

John Holland is fucking epic.


On to Burlington.
