I thought it was a flagrant foul to elbow somebody above the shoulders?

Is it distracting for anyone else the way Abu Bakr pronounces St. Bonaventure? It's like he's pronouncing it Bona...venture.

More evidence of why Butler is not getting more minutes.

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 10 years ago

Butter fingers here by Rhody and they turn it over. Blowing their lead.

4pt margin

Adam, me too. That requires refs to know the rules. #whowantsnext

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 10 years ago

HAHAHA...they review the play where no foul was called against Biruta, but they dont review the play where they did call a foul when Biruta got elbowed in the face. Fine officiating as usual.

Andrew · Unread post by **Andrew** » 10 years ago

Biruta needs to dunk it home... he misses a LOT of bunnies. His D has been better tonight, though.

rhodyram81 · Unread post by **rhodyram81** » 10 years ago

Gil! You've got to make those bunnies inside!!!

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 10 years ago

A. we are hurting our selves badly. UMASS is sucking balls.
B. These announcers couldn't be more annoying

STC · Unread post by **STC** » 10 years ago

I like Biruta but I feel like he is good for 3 missed bunnies every game.

Gil will another 'soft' layup resulting in another miss and a 5 point swing.

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 10 years ago

What is Biruta's issue? Finish with two hands. Way too many misses from point blank range.

Rhody22 · Unread post by **Rhody22** » 10 years ago

Frustrating to think about how many lay ups our team misses!

ace · Unread post by **ace** » 10 years ago

EC's sounding very freshmen-like tonight.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 10 years ago

The thing about Gil is that he is athletic enough to go up and dunk when he's near the basket. I don't know why he doesn't do it.

Rhody22 · Unread post by **Rhody22** » 10 years ago

Please pull Biruta! He has someone wide open but tries to take it himself!?

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 10 years ago

Keys for second half
1. Rebounding
2. make lay ups

And he does it again. Had Hassan open for an alley-oop dunk.

Rhodymob05 · Unread post by **Rhodymob05** » 10 years ago

polish up those layups and we should get another double digit lead

Definitely, he seemed to get real frustrated out there at one point and Dan pulled him for a few minutes. I'm willing to bet he'll come out strong and settle down in the 2nd half.

He's definitely struggled. Airballed a three early in the game, and had a couple turnovers. Looking forward to a better second half.

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 10 years ago

Gil has us -6 on the last three plays. Bunnies in close and misses. When you are a big, under the basket, stuff the effin ball in the basket!!!!!!!~

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 10 years ago

Gil plays alot like Will Martell. He doesn't jam the ball in close enough. Martin gets it. He is finishing. It is my pet peeve.

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 10 years ago

EC and Gil both struggling. 4 TO's for EC, and they are putting bigger guys on him like Putney and Carter who are both athletic enough to stay with him. And they are seniors. Definitely keying on him tonight. We need X to take it to Chaz, he can get to the basket and shoot over him. We must improve rebounding and keep turnovers down in 2nd half....I assume Gil and EC turn it around in the next stanza.

Hassan only credited with 1 block! What a joke.

Still hurtin I guess. Doesnt look like he'll play tonight.

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 10 years ago

Gil amazed all of Keaney Gym when he won the dunk contest. His reluctance to dunk is some mental issue.

Dan said on a recent show that Gil needs this offseason to clear his mind or something.

Biggie only played a few mins at Bona due to emergency... TJ had a cramp or something.

I hope this ref's car gets stolen during the game.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 10 years ago

I guess a tackle is no longer a foul...

Did this get hideous and disgusting in a hurry. I'm going to puke.

They are at UMass, its certainly possible.

RhowdyRam02 · Unread post by **RhowdyRam02** » 10 years ago

Now now, let's be fair to our neighbors to the North. They would never steal the refs car, it will be right where he parked it. It will just be flipped over and burned out.

No. It willed be filled with "flowers", as a small token.

Another wasted opportunity tonight? 9-0 run for UMass after the break.

looks like we have come back with 5 straight.. I am on major lag so tough to tell what is really happening

How can that be a shooting foul?

BIRUTA WITH THE DUNK!!!! Take it to the rim big man!!!!

Now that's how to put the ball in the basket Gil!!!

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 10 years ago

Well done Gilvydas! Slam it home more often!!

BOGUS warning on Hurley. He was on the coach's box line and was warned for leaving it.

Andrew · Unread post by **Andrew** » 10 years ago

Crazy last few minutes... EC chucks up a 25-footer to beat the shot clock, and it goes in. Few ticky-tack hand check calls on both teams. Hurley gets warned, possibly for the second time? This needs improvement, IMO. You don't want to get t'd up in a one-possession game. 46-45 Umass.

I missed the first half but what I'm noticing not here in the second is how into the game the bench is. Fired up they are! (Yoda voice)
