       We've seen a very interesting trend from UMBC of late in terms
       of who's producing. Lyles is probably still an all-conference
       first teamer, but his numbers are way down from our last
       meeting. He's not only scoring less, but he isn't even shooting
       the ball. Shot attempts over the last five games: 9, 8, 18, 8,
       10. This is *Jairus Lyles*, who averaged 23 points on 17
       attempts a game last year and was on that pace until this recent
       five-game stretch, in which he's averaged just 11.4 ppg.
       Meanwhile, Darley's been on an absolute tear, including a
       38-point night in UMBC's 108-102 win over UMass Lowell (that's
       in regulation). Darley went 10 for 12 from three and 13 for 16
       overall. In the last five games, he's averaging nearly 23 a
       night. It hasn't just been him of late either. Maura, who's
       generously listed at 5-8/140, has really been more assertive,
       logging back-to-back 20-point games in losses to Hartford (eek)
       and Vermont.
       BC's always been able to score but to take the next step, they
       need everything else to round into shape. Will they hit the
       boards? Will they defend? Can they be physical?
       We wore out a path to the free throw line in our first meeting.
       There's simply no reason why Nyama, Woodhouse, Saintel, etc.,
       can't get into the paint to score or distribute at will. We
       aren't big inside either, but we have the athleticism to finish
       at the rim. We probably took a higher percentage of twos against
       UMBC than in any other game this season (51 attempts, just 15
       threes).
       Our offense is like the Patriots backfield – you think you know
       who's getting the ball and it turns out it's somebody else.
       Right now it's Yeboah, who had 16 and 10 against UMBC the last
       time. Here's hoping for more ... or at least enough from someone
       completely different that we get a W. After Wednesday night, I'm
       thinking one way or the other we're locked into the 2 for good,
       but maybe luck breaks in our favor and the regular-season
       title's on the line this weekend.

       Been following SBU from the distance throughout the season.
       Haven't been able to follow as closely with all that's going on.
       But wanted to say that it feels good to be solidly in second
       place after all the changes in the programs that occurred in the
       past year.
       Once a Seawolf, Always a Seawolf!
       Glad to see the community here alive and well!
       Go Brook!

       Petras just threw up something worthy of the Washington
       Generals...

       BC killing us on the boards, both sides.  also intensity.  and
       threes.
       we cant sink a shot tonight.  some are rimming out; most arent
       even hitting rim.
       some positives- petras, yeboah.

       Hope Boals has one of those fiery speeches saved up for
       halftime. The way they played being down 15 actually ain't that
       bad.

       Where has Woodhouse's offense gone? It's halftime, and only
       three guys have scored, and only one of them's a starter
       (Nyama).
       24-11 on the glass. Pretty much all you need to know. It's too
       bad because UA has done its job so far up in Burlington.
