16 Seed BU: “We’re Screwed”

TULSA – Fresh off winning their first America East championship in nine years, the Boston University Terriers were disheartened to learn that they were being rewarded with the No. 16 seed in the Southwest region for the upcoming NCAA tournament.

”Man, I couldn’t believe it,” said senior forward John Holland.  “I was all excited, ready to go dancing, then they give us Kansas.  Damn, they couldn’t even put us up against Notre Dame or Pittsburgh or anything, it’s gotta be Kansas.  We’re screwed.”

Injured center Jake O’Brien admitted that the Terriers’ seniors attempted to convince coach Pat Chambers to decline the bid, hoping for a more favorable invite to the less intense NIT or College Basketball Invitational.

“We did well in the CBI last year,” explained O’Brien.  “Why not do that again?  We could win a few games, have some fun and go out on a high note.  Why travel to Oklahoma and get killed?”

Despite his players protests, Chambers remains optimistic about his team’s chances.

“I think we could keep it close.  It is Kansas after all, don’t they always find a way to collapse in the tournament?  Or did that stop once Roy [Williams] left?”
