	Geffen steps up in second half ::
		Geffen - who had scored 15 points over the last two games, including a previous high of eight points against Northeastern University - attributed his improved play to something Wolff has been advocating all season: hard play during those days no one comes to see BU play.
		Earlier in the season, with Geffen still getting acclimated to the college game, Carr had to handle the ball more often, thus forcing him to create shot opportunities on his own instead of letting the offense come to him.
		Now with Geffen getting a lot more than the scarce minutes he saw at the beginning of the year (21 minutes in the first four games), BU finally has a pure point guard bringing the ball up the floor and a pure scorer waiting to get it.

		Geffen allegedly softens up his prey in a business deal by offering up disarming gossip about his own life--his traumatic courtship of Cher, or Marlo Thomas, perhaps, or the male prostitute he is said to have boasted about being in bed with the night John Lennon was shot.
