[MBB] Game #13: 12/20/18 - 7PM vs Manhattan

[Clickclack]

Healey back to back careless turnovers not aware of who's around him. 

 

Come on man... Wake up... Worse after the second time he lost it... Just trotted up the court. 

[Clickclack]

Manhattan zonning us to death... 

[Eli]

Showing a glimmer of effort finally...

Really the department should be going to every school and youth basketball program locally and giving out free tickets to every local player. Give them enough for their parents too. Seat them in the student section. Get more people here and make a few bucks with parking. Maybe get some new fans. Give away 5000 tickets, but only the first 1500 get in free. Or something like that. While the students are out of town it's a no brainer.

Completely agree — Marketing 101!

Brown may kill Clark in this game. Clark giving and taking...

Yeah, that ill-advised 3 then the 1 on 4 both led to 3 pointers.

[DanesRGood]

That was a charge and they call a block on Ahmad.  Then Lulka has a CLEAN block and they call a foul.  Both terrible calls.

[Eli]

A win is a win but that was much rougher than I was expecting. 

[Clickclack]

I need a shower, that was rough even if it was a game where we scored 70+ and won by 10.

There is no flow right now... Everything is very hard.

I noticed more stone hands in 1st half.  We could replace our front court  guys in the low post with some pieces of Stonehenge and get the same results.  Mindboggling.

I’m all for it, but season ticket holders might have a problem with that

Yeah, we can't lose to Manhattan if we are aspiring to be an upper half AE team this year. OOC is what it is and should be used as a learning experience, but even with all of these new guys we should beat Manhattan by 10.

So we did what you said we should

I'll be happy if we beat them by 1.

1500 Over or Under on total attendance?

UA’08 is happy!

Under - 1412

Why would they have a problem with it if the free seats for local basketball players and their families (from every level, from YMCA to High School) get to sit in the student section during home games over breaks when no students are around. It is the perfect opportunity to possibly create some new fans and at least get parking revenue. It would be different if the suggestion was normal paid seats. I'm only suggesting the seats that are already free to students anyway.

Going against the grain here but I thought that was alright. Manhattan pretty much makes games ugly.

We had some post touches and moved the ball a little on offense. Some nice minutes from Lauderdale.

Adam Lulka - Double double in points and rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and a steal.
