Overall, I think this game was a reflection of the majority of the season and Wisconsin was built perfectly to beat us, a team that was simply a bigger reflection of the Birds with many common weaknesses. On defense, we saw a team this season unwilling or unable to pressure on the perimeter full...

not the strongest crew, but give Mo St credit -for recognizing that Wilson is susceptible to the charge-they were waiting for her, and for preparing for when Wong turns her back to the defender opening an opportunity for steals coming from behind. I also don’t think Kate got one open look at top...

Hoping that most of the preparation time was used for (SW) Missouri State. Here is hoping they are ready to play from the toss Saturday, fighting over screens and closing out on shooters, pushing the ball up the court, going hard to get open and hitting the boards. Go Birds

Hah! I witnessed the longest NCAA game in history BU vs Cincinnati back in 1981 home for Christmas Break- 7 OTs before the shot clock- it was one possession per OT, whoever got the jump held it for one shot Hah! I witnessed the longest NCAA game in history BU vs Cincinnati back in 81’, home...

UIC creates some matchup problems for the Birds and I could dwell on the challenges the first 38 minutes, but like the men’s game in Terre Haute, this is one that we should just enjoy, it was also great to see the MBB team cheering on the ladies 😎✌️

I’m just going to enjoy it 😎 ✌️

Burford in a boot- hell, Chico State would be a problem, let alone Chicago Circle

BU’s size really creates some problems at the 3-2 spots when they play big, I have to admit that they appeared to be the most talented team to visit Redbird this year but you’re right , or their coaching staff saw in scouting that the way the Birds play defense would create those open drives and...

When they told them “keep shooting it” they actually believed em. How about go with what’s working. Don’t know what happened to Luke, Mal, Burford shots- maybe the same thing that’s affected FT shooting much of season, - lack of emphasis, practice, coaching( same staff+ as last year) All...

I agree that a system that has bigs jump switching instead of dropping isn’t the players fault and 11 can’t do anything about his own size, which requires extra attention to help. What I haven’t seen today was the level of defensive intensity by everyone- trying to beat opponent to spot and...

Sorry, you can’t defend even EU with 4 guards( especially a 5’10 one) and a 4, even if you are giving plenty of weak side help, which the Birds aren’t right now. They just isolate and go to the rim. Also, where is Davis?

Sorry, but I’ll never get used to Big Ten and USC in the same sentence, unless it’s somebody beating them in the Rose Bowl 🤷‍♂️

Birds match up pretty well against Bruins- speed, length, quickness, size is very similar and offense is similar as well. That being said, I thought the defensive effort was better than it’s been the entire season, especially in first half. There have been a lot of times this year when we were...

it’s not just the shooting, Birds are playing defense with 5’s jump switching on the perimeter and forcing Banks, Kinziger, Burford to guard bigs on the block; they don’t value FT shooting enough to shoot better than the 50%; the offense simply doesn’t create shots- almost every 3 was on the...

She wasn’t on the coaches show, had an assistant

I actually think Luke gives better defensive effort than most of our guards, I went back and looked at play by play-Luke was on the floor for two(2) of Johnson’s 9 field goals and Luke fouled Johnson twice down the stretch for 4 Freethrows. Luke was -1 for the game. I’ve also been disappointed...

Agree with Hulka, While I’ve been a proponent of shortening the bench, I also think they need a 4 & a 5 on the floor-we really got a good luck at playing 6 guys last night. Luke was -1 in 28 minutes even though I agree that he/they should have extended defense much earlier. Banks was +6 in 31...
