Re: Game 17: Massachusetts, Sunday Jan 15, 2:30pm NBCSN
UMass getting uncontested shots trip after trip and we can even get 1 clean look, its really not worth posting anymore, its clear how this game will go.
Nothing changes with this team/program, I cant say we've become a joke, because we've always been a joke, at least I'm looking good in the Season Prediction contest, it will be a 2 horse raise between me and ramfan85.

Zero effort, zero hustle. It's a team of passengers right now.

They hit amazing shots, EC throws up TWO airballs already. It defies logic.

Our defense is somehow so bad, it even increases the free throw percentages of Umasses worst FT shooters.

Zone !!!! The fact that it took this long to get off your high horse is embarrassing. What do you know adjustments work quite well.

Has Hurley lost this team? The lack of effort is evident. Dear it be said, this marriage is crumbling??? I look to you insiders for your thoughts.

easy 3 pointer? It was a contested shot with Akele closing in, alot more contested than the 5 other 3's already made. UMass shoots under 30% from 3, if they hit 3's then you tip your cap and move on, letting them bludgeon us inside makes no sense... starting the game with our already foolish defense made not sense, Hassan on the bench with 2 fouls 2 minutes into the game, letting their guard drive to the basket easily.. these things dont happen when you plan zone, but you new that already.adam914 wrote:And it leads to an easy 3 pointer for UMass!

That shot was contested? Akele was 8 feet away from him. Guess what happened the other possession in zone, they went inside to Holloway and we fouled him to. Just like in man to man. So you're 0 for 2 on this one.Shinze88 wrote:easy 3 pointer? It was a contested shot with Akele closing in, alot more contested than the 5 other 3's already made.

It's like the offense. Good against bad teams. Mediocre against mediocre teams. Bad against good teams. They'll make this a game and might even win because UMass isn't great.TruePoint wrote:I've never seen such a bad "good" defensive team. This is not good defense.

Yeah, right after the possession that Holloway traveled when double team in the zone? Look, you can dissect every possession if you want, if you think playing pressure man defense against a team like UMass who cant shoot 3's and have a dominant big man we cant guard then I cant help you, its no coincidence we closed the gap in this game right after we went to a zone.adam914 wrote:That shot was contested?

Right, you can dissect every possession and talk about what actually happened, or you can ignore that and make stuff up that fits what you want to be true. I go with the dissecting every possession and talking about what actually happened.Shinze88 wrote:Yeah, right after the possession that Holloway traveled when double team in the zone?

We went to a zone with around 4 minutes remaining and down 12, we ended the half down 4 and committed only 1 foul after we went to zone, so i guess you are correct, zone was a bad decision..adam914 wrote:Right, you can dissect every possession and talk about what actually happened, or you can ignore that and make stuff up that fits what you want to be true.

Re: Game 17: Massachusetts, Sunday Jan 15, 2:30pm NBCSN
What was much more important was that we started double teaming Holloway. I disagree with Hurley's decision to go zone and I also disagree with his decision to not play man to man and double Holloway from the opening tip.Shinze88 wrote:We went to a zone with around 4 minutes remaining and down 12, we ended the half down 4 and committed only 1 foul after we went to zone, so i guess you are correct, zone was a bad decision..adam914 wrote:Right, you can dissect every possession and talk about what actually happened, or you can ignore that and make stuff up that fits what you want to be true.

Re: Game 17: Massachusetts, Sunday Jan 15, 2:30pm NBCSN
I have a problem with the way they are officiating Holloway. When Shaq was playing they said that guys would get away with fouling him because he was so much bigger that refs would let it all go. Holloway gets the opposite treatment. Trying to defend him with the ball is an automatic foul in this game. I'm not sure how the refs think we are supposed to defend him.

Have to say that half court inbounds was the perfect play to call.
