BU's Role Players Step it Up

I was texting back and forth with Tall-boy concerning our come back late in Saturday's game against Stony Brook, and I was feeling pretty pumped that the Terriers stepped it up late. Tall-boy replied to me with "remember, this is Stony Brook."

Yes, it was Stony Brook, but a sharper-looking Stony Brook. Plus our two leading scorers failed to score a point. Corey was unavailable (not sure why) and Carlos went 0-6.

So I think it's fair to get excited when the rest of the team picks it up and powers through for a win. Tyler Morris found his rhythm today and netted 18 points. Matt Wolff finally found his rhythm too, scoring 13 and going 4-4 from behind the arc. His two three-pointers in a row were pretty much the foundation of our comeback from a 9 point deficit.

And Scott Brittain got a double-double, with 15 points and 10 boards (maybe he was inspired by Tall-boy's latest post).

So what can happen if we get all the pieces working together, and on a regular basis? Can we routinely score 75, 80 points a game? Can we get 30 boards a game and less than 10 turnovers? Can we keep our shooting percentage over 40%, and our free throw percent over 75%?

Can we blow out Vermont on Friday in front of 5000* people at the Greek?

Something like that could do great things for our team's confidence, as well as the fan base on campus.

*I know 5000 people is a stretch, but there's no harm in hoping.
