Painful! Great effort, just not enough...

[Dane Pound]

No shots on the last three possession. All turnovers.

 

Thought we competed well on the road in a tough place. Hopefully clean things up against Bing next week to 5-3 in the first half of the conference schedule. Hoping for 7-1 with more home games in the second half.

TO's and poor defense...they hit 9 threes, can't win like that.

[Dane Pound]

They were bound to hit something in the final minute. We gave them every chance to build on to that lead and finally they did.

3 Turnovers in the last 1 min 24 sec - kills us

 

Voelkel foes 2 for 2 from three, he was 2 for 13 this entire season before tonight.

We are the only one of the top 4 to have played the other 3 on the road. At least one win on the road would have done wonders against BU/SBU/UVM...the other three have only played each other once on the road and all road teams lost. Brook lost at BU, BU lost at UVM, UVM lost at Brook.

 

Now we have the easiest schedule down the road with all of them coming into our house plus, Hartford/Bing/UNH/Maine on the road. Certainly road games are tough but give me those four on the road over BU/SBU/UVM. Would have been great to take one of them though...

[Clickclack]

Going to be extremely difficult to win the regular season now...as we'll probably drop a game to the top 3 at home. Crap...We needed to get one of these road games.

I am by far no expert on basketball, but I have two observations from the games that I have seen this year....1) we have absolutely no inside offensive game and 2) we are way too anxious to take a 3 point shot. I think these two things have cost us some games this year!

 

 

Doesn't that pretty much sum up the UA offense every year?

[Phoenix]

Although I recognize the points weren't all literally scored 'inside'...our inside players at the 4 and 5 spots scored nearly 40% of our points last night (Devlin 10, Metcalf 8 and Guerrier 9).

[Dane Pound]

There have been a few games this year where we seemed to focus on getting the ball in the paint more and last night was one of them. I thought Blake was effective when they did it. Vermont really left Apfield or whoever was guarding him on an island because everyone else attracts so much attention on offense.

[dslyank]

70% from 3 point land by a not good three shooting team; and a jump ball which both Wyland and espn3 guys said was nonexistent. We simply cannot catch a break on the road. But I guess that is why we have to win ALL our home games. With our schedule in the second half, I think 7-1 or even 8-0 is realistic.

 

By the way 70% from three is awesome even if not-defensed; uncontested threes are only made what maybe 50-60% of the time. Also, turnover by Logan where he throws the ball the length of the court out of bounds pretty nearly impossible without an assist (or foul) from the other team. Again Wyland and espn3 said the refs definitely missed the call. Looked to me defender hit his arm vigoursly as he went to pass. Anyhow ESPN3 stream was SO poor it was a little hard to tell. (Anyone else have trouble with the espn3 quality, last night??)

[Phoenix]

UVM shot 50% (9-18) from three last night..not 70%. I'm assuming that's what the 70% was referring to?

 

I'd guess the 'over/under' for us on the remaining 9 AE games would/should be 6-3 or 7-2.

 

EDIT: So..I guess the over/under on remaining AE wins..for me..would be 6.5.

Vermont's fan base looks eerily like Siena's......

Well it would be impossible to have less class than the LCC fan base.

Still that is nice blog entry to read.

[Dane Pound]

No doubt Vermont has a classier fan base.

 

Jamar broke the school career scoring record at Patrick Gym his senior year and they gave him a nice ovation then also.

 

Alright, I've said enough nice things about Vermont fans.
