UMASS is a different team without their star PG.
Another tough opponent for Boone

Thought we might drop in the NET due to Monmouth’s ranking but we are up to #64!

On the road and scoring margin def helps. I wonder what it would be if we won by 1 point. Someone on here had some calculation didn’t they?

Scouting our next opponent. UAB vs Southern is on right now.
Unfortunately my lack of basketball knowledge means that my scout is basically worthless.
All I can tell so far is they like to push the pace. And they appear to be playing an aggressive man D. They don’t look for the three point shot it seems. Lots of driving and posting and mid rangers.
Hopefully that will be impacted by our D.
They look athletic and physical but nothing we can’t handle. They have a big guy who likes to post that Aly may have trouble with. But if Aly can draw him out it could be cut city.

Makes you perfect for the board.

Yes! But I’m honest lol
Their starting center is 6 11 260 and looks like he’s about 26 years old. Doesn’t look that skilled but he’s gonna be a load to handle on the boards.
Main thing I see is we have to limit turnovers and slow them down.
Our former player Tyler Bertram is on the team. Doesn’t look like he plays a lot.

That Boise State win is the kind of thing Bubble teams hang their hats on. That was some good stuff.
Also FAU sitting awfully pretty.

Boise State has an easy schedule, but Sanchez won. Even a broken clock is right twice a day
If we win the conference are you still gonna complain or worry about the ooc?

They have two of the best guards in the conference in Walker and Gaines. Idk if our guys can handle them

In case people needed a reminder on the athletic ability of Gaines. Such an underrated player. Great athletic ability but a really good passer too. This will be a TOUGH game if our guards aren’t ready. Personally I want to see Folks in the game a bit more vs these guys
No. Maybe
