UA vs. Maine

[I rock(ed) the Cape]

Hopefully we can make some noise tonight and shock a surprisingly strong Maine team. I'm hoping for a good student showing since everyone is back, but with the state of the team my expectations are pretty low. I have class til 8, but I'm hoping he lets us out early since its the first day. Here's to hoping for a strong effort tonight!!

Stuck in class, but based on the box, looks like the good ambrose has showed up tonight...hopefully we can maintain the nice start

Am I blind or has Harris not played?

[B9j2j6s]

He is injured

[GreatDanes06]

and that will do it...can't win when you allow almost 30 three pointers in two games

Close all game; a couple of bad decisions towards the end of the game put us out of range to steal it.

 

Much of the same....Ambrose negated much of the good with EIGHT to's.... to much trying to dribble through people....every time I seem him trying that power dribble move I cringe....

 

Defense was pretty bad all game also...gave up eight threes (47%) and we let them shoot 60%....not NEARLY good enough...!

30 seconds to go...PG walks the ball up down 5....look no further then this if you need proof of zero basketball IQ.

Ambrose had 5 TOs in the last 7 mins. That is when Maine made their run.

 

Logan and Bill are struggling so bad from 3. I don't know if it's confidence, poor choices or rushing their shots but they are just not falling. They also seem to always be in NBA range when they take their 3s. Hopefully that will improve and Brown can find more ways to get them better open shots.

Wondering what happen with Tartt. He was playing pretty well earlier this season. I know he's been hurt but is back and is a decent shooter to put out there.

 

I agree Ambrose's turnovers hurt during that Maine run but in part we didn't have much of a scoring lineup out there during that stretch. There was more pressure on him to score. MJ has his strengths but we seem pretty easy to defend when he's out there.

Timmy was the only real viable scoring option on the floor during the Maine run. Hence, he was forced to attempt to create--which led to the costly turnovers. MJ had a couple wide open looks --but looked like he was afraid to shoot and chose to pass instead. No sense of urgency at the end when there still was a chance to do something. Bringing the ball up court like they had minutes when they had only seconds remaining

I agree with this. Plus since Ambrose and Harris haven't been on together, it's possible they might have only combined about 25 pts and 5 TOs (obviously speculating here) ... the score might have been closer, but the outcome might not have been different...

 

What's going on with Tartt? Its been a few games since he's had real minutes.
