Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4173379, member: 289"] - A win is a win is a win is a win. (And a Rose is a rose.) It wasn’t a pretty game, (neither was the last one over this same team – BC Ball is Ugly Ball), but we need all the wins we can get, of any kind whatsoever and today we got one. We should get another on Monday. Then comes the turbulence. Fasten your seat belts! - Cole Swider, our X factor guy, (if he’s on, we win, if not we don’t), had a fine game, scoring 18 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, dealing 4 assists, blocking two shots and making a steal. He’s got to be on and stay on the rest of the season. - Jimmy Boeheim, who had kind of faded as the season progressed, had probably his beat overall game. With 13 points on 6 for 9 shooting, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and a block. - His bother Buddy had a bad stretch at the end of the first half but got his normal 18 points and made 5 steals. - Joe Girard, who had consecutive turnovers leading to two baskets early in the game, rallied for that to score 16 points and get 5 rebounds. - The bench contributed, even if Frank Anselem is no longer a part of it. Bourama Sidibe played by far the most minutes he had in two years, (18), and hustled like a man who had waited two years to get a chance to play. He only scored one basket but had 4 rebounds, 2 steals and two thunderous blocks. I think he could have blocked the ball to a teammate but I’m not complaining. Just seeing him out there does your heart some good. And his career here could have a happy ending yet. - Symir Torrence didn’t score but had 5 assists in 17 minutes: Joe had 1 in 28. He also had 1 turnover to Joe’s 3. - Benny Williams finally made a field goal after missing 16 in a row. He also grabbed a couple of rebounds and made a steal. - I don’t know what to make of BC but they just scored 95 points on Notre Dame in an overtime loss and lost to Duke by 11 the game before that. We just beat them by 20. I don’t know what it means, either, but it looks good. 14-12 with 5+ to go. LET’S GO ORANGE! [/QUOTE]
