UMBC Tonight!

[Dane Pound]

With BU and Vermont fighting it out for second place in Boston, a win tonight would get us in a tie for third.

 

Suero was quoted on the the TU blog about protecting the home court.

 

“You take care of your house. If someone comes to you house, you don’t let them rob you and take whatever they want. This is our house, and we protect our house.”

 

Is Suero channeling Mark Macon?

I've seen on twitter/facebook over the past few days that they're giving away up to 8 TVs at tonight's game. Kinda cool.

Too bad I just bought a brand new SONY 46" one this past weekend.

 

Although my bet is more 720p Dynexs ...I guess better than nothing. Anything to get the students out is a good idea. Plus the weather is nice. Hopefully a great turnout.

Hopefully we are the meat grinder that everyone has to face the next couple of games.

Very nice home win tonight! G looked like a different player from the last couple games and Logan drops 21.

It was a comfortable/relaxing win at home...even when they cut the lead down. 9 minutes to go they had 46pts, 4 minutes to go they had 55...then they went a bit wild against our second team with some long threes but whatever. Never felt threatened in this one.

 

Would have loved for Gibson to trow that dunk down, looked like it could have been a monster, UMBC clearly was very frustrated.

Attendance figures? I know they were marketing this one hard.

Side note: Albany women score 8 points in 21 seconds to turn a 6-point deficit into a 2-point win at UMBC. Now 8-2 in conference, 2nd place.

Could someone enlighten me about the techincal to some member of our coaching staff last night?

I believe it was on Friel...must have swore or something...it wasn't much of anything. Brown had a good laugh at it because at first it was assigned to him and he was like...WHAT?

[Patch]

Some officials just don't want to hear from anyone but the Head Coach.I believe the "T" was called just at the start of the Time Out and most if not all in the building had no clue why it was called.

 

No one seemed irrational or out of control on the sideline and I had no clue why it was called or who it was called on. Usually when "Ts" are assessed everyone sees it coming.

Another coach told me it was indeed on Friel, but that nobody thought he said very much.

[Dane Pound]

How many techs do you see with a team up 24? Weird. I don't really gamble but I would have taken a bet in that game that any T would have been on Randy Monroe. Instead it's on Friel and Monroe didn't even rip his jacket off as far as I could tell (not to mention the tie.)

 

We've been talking a lot lately about what Suero can/can't do on the defensive end of the court. Sometimes I forget just how fun he is to watch. Last night was a good reminder.
