BU emerged from tonight's contest with a 93-51 victory, moving their record to 15-12 overall and 10-5 in America East play.
Here are some thoughts coming out of Agganis Arena tonight:
-Haven't gotten a hold of the official numbers, but the attendance tonight seemed to have picked up pretty well from the poor crowd showing against Vermont. My best guess is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,200 people.
- I'd call tonight a very well-rounded performance to the team, with the star of the bunch being Carlos Strong with his 23 points on 9-12 shooting, with 5 rebounds and a remarkable 5 steals. Jake O'Brien also had a very good showing, posting up a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Can't forget the man who got things off and running for the Terriers- John Holland who finished with 20 points, 16 of those coming in the first half.
- Tyler Morris' stroke was on tonight. He finished with 18 points on 4-6 shooting, 2-3 from deep, and 7-8 from the charity stripe. Those are the kinds of numbers that bring another great Hoosier to mind- the fantastic, albeit fictional, Jimmy Chitwood.
-Corey Lowe missed a wide open dunk, but overall turned in what I thought to be a pretty decent performance. Still a shell of what he was last year, though, I'll be pretty surprised if he makes first-team all conference based on anything other than reputation.
-Commendable defense by Los on Greer Wright, holding him to seven points on 2-9 shooting.
-O'Brien really needs to develop a good baby hook. If he can nail that shot at least 50% of the time (so almost in Samardo Samuels territory), Jake could be a tremedous force down low as well.
-Aside from Monroe at UMBC, Mark Macon is easily my favorite AE coach (love Chambers though): animated and in his own way, incredibly insightful.
