@ Mount St. Mary's

It's a W on the road, I'll take it but the Mount isn't a very good team. We were sluggish today especially in the first half.

 

Suero is an amazing player, took this team on his back today and willed them over the finish line... 28pts, 10rb, 3st and 2ast while turning it over 6 times...I'm OK with that though because no one else could do anything and he kept attacking, four of those TO were in the first half.

I think they're trying to kill us.

 

Played poorly and sometime uninspired but ground it out. 16% shooting from three but over 90% from the free throw line.

 

People said Suero was too much hype. I'm not sure he was hyped enough. Took over when we needed it. Good trip for Suero and Devlin who played well in both games.

 

Happy New Year Everyone!

Post-game interview, Friel told Will to light into the team, resulting in a pulled back muscle from throwing the water cooler. I guess that's effective coaching.

 

Also said four or five guys had food poisoning/stomach virus, could explain the sluggishness, but isn't that the third or fourth incident of that this year (maybe including football too)? Maybe the teams need a special caterer.

 

Really frustrated when we pulled within 36-33 and then came up empty the next five trips down the floor. How many layups got blocked today?

UAalum72 .... not sure the number of shots blocked but there were quite a few it seemed. I specifically recall though that they had some big guys that were on Logan so a few of his got blocked.

[UAalum72]

Yahoo box says they had 8 blocks. I guess it's a good sign if we can win shooting 2-12 from three. Good 2nd half, only three turnovers and end up out-rebounding them.

Hopefully we can get Logan out of his Maryland funk!!!

 

In the two games in MD Logan shot a dismal 8 of 32 including 3 of 14 from three

 

On the plus side he made 9 of 11 FTs and had 11 rebounds in the 2 games.

 

An interesting stat - UA as a team has made more FTs (233 - 306) then or opponents have attempted (139 - 229), which is a very good stat.
