MBB: @ UMass-Lowell 7pm Wed 1/15

[UA'08]

Pathetic. I had no problem with Vermont. But this...awful.

[McFan]

Oh and by the way, they were milking the clock starting at about 4 minutes. Totally took the team out of its offense, killed any momentum and was a very different game than they played all night. They should have been pounding it in, rotating. Instead they stood around waiting for Evans to drive and kick...something he's not great at. Bad coaching.

 

We do seem to consistently let teams back into games by slowing things down. It might be a perception thing on my part as I like a faster paced offense but I think we do this way too often.

 

Also, how bad is AE that a first year team is 3-1?

[UA'08]

I don't think we are being to hard on them. This is still basically a d2 school playing with d2 players. This stings.

I had problems with uvm... They are being consistently out worked... And are getting embarrassed at this point... A promising season has gone to complete $iena... Yet again...!

The AE is considered really awful this year. Brown saved his job last year, I think. May have been bad for the future of the program. Sorta like having a mid-level quarterback. You're not good enough to win the big games, but they aren't bad enough to suck. This program will be .500 barring an amazing recruit. They won't win it on coaching. Say what you want about a coaching style like Patsos, but those guys are starting to play better and I'm pretty damn sure that guy will not accept complacency.

Really disappointed with the heart and energy at times. That's up to player leadership.

 

Obviously it was an extreme case, but I always fear things regressing to a "McRae/Harris/Johnson Year".

[Albany Weave]

People need to step off the ledge. It was a terrible loss tonight. Albany struggled from the line and that cost them the game. We are only one quarter of the way through conference play. Plenty of basketball remains.

Careful...with talk like that you won't get invited to the Christmas party.

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

Can I ask another question? Why don't we ever recruit from downstate NY or urban NJ?

 

Based on tonight's heartless performance that Christmas party will feature a tree that would make Charlie Brown's look like the one in Rockefeller Center. And we just lost to that tree!

Did you watch a horrid umbc team take us to double OT? By the way tonight they lost by double digits to unh... Did you see Vermont pummel our beaten corps... Now this...

[UA'08]

This team could easily be on a three game losing streak. I don't care how much basketball there is to play you can't lose to Lowell.

[UA'08]

Should have just sat Rowley and rested him!

[MRSGDG]

Not sure what hurts more the UVM loss or this one. UVM wasn't even close, we just had zero heart... and this game .. just shaking my head. Embarrassing loss.

Umm I don't even think its a question.
