UMBC Game Thread

Buzz is using this as a teaching moment. Watch us come out with full court press in 2nd half

Lockett needs to be the main student.  0 for 6 with just a brutal charging foul.  Just a terrible half and to be honest, he has not really been the player I thought he would be so far.

MU shooting 37% and are 1 for 8 from three.  28 points against a team like this is sad.  

I agree.  Buzz should reem them a new one and they come out abit fired up.

Does anyone else have an opinion of why we have looked so bad against these cupcakes and looked solid in Maui? I think Buzz may be just letting them play against this lower competition and running sets when we play better teams. The offense looked organized in Maui and here it looks like a free for all

Exactly.  No worries.

Buzz is using it as a teaching moment...no reason to assume that we suck, we are just ironing out the kinks. Some coaches prefer to blow lesser competition out of the water, and with two powerhouse seniors last year, we could, this year this team needs to face as much adversity early as it can to grow and mesh quickly.

Trent really has to elevate his game. At times he hurts us more than helps us.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Thats more like it.

Lockett will be fine. All players have halves when things don't go right. Everybody becomes George Steinbrenner when a player doesn't excel thinking sports is the same as a shipbuilding factory

I agree.  This is just players getting more used to each other in a game situation.  I'm pretty sure Buzz views these games are scrimmages that count towards the overall record.  If the team should go down 5-10 points against a cupcake I'm sure you'd see a normal game rotation out there like we saw in Maui.

Nice little run... Ox picking up loose balls and running the court....

Yikes, b team cheerleaders tonight.

[muwarrior97]

THink Lockett heard you guys, started this 17-2 run with some nice play, Jake looking good too

[real chili 83]

Not trying to bag the guy, but does Roseboro have any stats? Besides 4 fouls?

He did hit a nice little bank shot, but man he isn't much of a player at this level.

[muwarrior97]

hit a nice bank shot early second half but not much else besides the hacks

2 pts, 2 rbs, 4 fouls and Jimmy Mc saying he will be a big difference to UMBC and their season.  WTF????

Thanks.

NYG spot on with the stats as usual! 

[real chili 83]

I think we win by 140 tonight.

Got our hands full next game.

[tower912]

Nothing like a 32-5 run to restore order to the universe.

Yup.  Florida's frontline of Young, Yeagette and Murphy are alot different than UMBC.

that will not be fun. not the mention their guards are super good.

also, damn, UMBC scored...

[real chili 83]

Just got a call from MU asking for moola.  She didn't know the game was on.  

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

You know its a blow out when Junior and D Wil are on the court at the same time.

[real chili 83]

Anyone else hate that prius commercial?

[77ncaachamps]

I just got back from Cyber Monday.

What's the word?

[GGGG]

Hey, I just figured out that UMBC was not the Baltimore-area school where former DePaul coach Pat Kennedy flamed out.  That was Towson.

FWIW....

[GoldenZebra]

JUAAAAN!!!!! Nice to see him play well
