Not rocket science. We are a 3 point shooting team that coach forgot to run plays for in first half. Thank God for individual players making 3's on their own. Coach napping tonight.

This team really is a rollercoaster. And while it would be risky, it just feels this team is better off chucking a bunch of 3’s. Live or die. When we try to go inside, it’s just not efficient enough and the offense gets incredibly stale. It’s probably not going to happen since it certainly isn’t Schmidt’s style, but I guess I just think this specific team would be better off getting out in the open court, pushing the pace and taking the first open 3 they see.

UMass has 7 more shots in the first half. Down 4. 8-14 FTs untypical for us. 4 first half TREYS unlike UMass.
Dominating the glass more than I thought they would 21-13 and 8-4 Off Boards

We can do this but ugh, missed opportunities at the foul line.
Drive the lane again in the 2nd half though it will turn around

Game will be decided by our players tonight running faster pace and making 3's.

No plays, no cuts, Venning out, but we are still in it.

Chad has an offensive shelf life of about 6 minutes every game. After that he gets doubled and becomes a liability. Not his fault. We have zero offensive creativity.
Pride needs to touch the ball and attack. He is our most skilled offensive player. Sometimes he disappears— again maybe not his fault.

Why does CROSS get away with throwing elbows so often?

Agree with assessment of short Venning offensive shelf life. Well put.

Guys are hanging in there but we lose our focus too often on defense, boxing out and with FT shooting. Little things.

Tough 50-50 call there that goes against us. But gotta give it to Umass, they’ve answered every time we’ve made a run. This feels a lot like the Fordham game where I just felt the Rams were the better team. Umass feels like the better team tonight. Hoping I’m wrong.

If Banks could shoot I might forgive losing his man for 5 easy drives and buckets this game (and nothing new). But Schmidt still giving him starters minutes.
