mbb 2019 Game #3: 11/16/19 - 7PM @ Manhattan

[Eli]

Lulka hurt his ankle, looks painful. Helped off the floor not putting weight on it. 

[nysteve661]

An ugly 2nd half of offense for UA.  Was hoping we would never see that again.  Healy totally shut down.  Hansen and de Sousa MIA in 2nd half too.  

[BestDaneSinceHamlet]

A disgraceful loss.  Program is stuck in mud.  

[UA1882]

Well unless JoJo is a stud we are an average team at best . 15-15, 8 -8 in the league if we are LUCKY. And let's tell it the way it is . We dont have the TALENT. We lost to 2 young teams, not veteran teams. We have not recruited well and this is what we have to show for it. 

[Eli]

We don't have anyone that can seem to break us out of offensive funks. Clark just exacerbates the issue...I HATE HIS STUPID SHOTS WITH 20 SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK. NICHOLS 2.0 AND IT PISSES ME OFF!

Even on attempts at the line and Beat on the boards. Just not a physically tough team, don't appear mentally tough either. Tough teams win close games.

Lulka is probably our most physical rotation player and he's a LONG WAY away from what Sam Rowley was. God I miss that man.

[Clickclack]

Dissappointing effort again... Leaderless team with almost no one that can break down the defense. Against anyone that can d up they will struggle badly. This is the same team as last year... Will have its moments but I suspect we'll see many more nights like this. Not sure how much Jojo will help but at least a chance at another guy that can handle the ball. 

This team is a dissappointment 3 games into it and I'm afraid I need to reconcile my hype with reality. Troubling time.

Meanwhile, UVM knocks off St Johns.

He is a Long way from physical.

Clark needs to stop bring the ball up the court. Half the time he fires off an ill advised shot without running a single play.

Here is a breakdown of his favorite play:

1) Inbound ball
2) Bring ball up the court
3) Get one screen
4) Shoot bad shot with 20 seconds on the clock
5) Repeat 6-7 more times in the game

So one name one position or area we are improved in?

What's the alternative? There is no pg on the roster. Pray for Jojo... Maybe he's something.

Last year all we heard was how it was going to be different when Flury came back. He was a difference maker, he was a game changer, he was going to be a great addition. And he wasn't. and then he got hurt, again. 

Even if JoJo is a stud, I think we are still an average team. Its frustrating, because the expectations now are that we should be a top team each year, and we are not, again. Hopefully something changes, and I would love it if that happened, but I think its going to be another up and down season like what 1882 said.
