Advantage UA. No way we can win a FT shooting contest with them.

The fact that this is a close game is a win in and of itself. I
expected to get blown out tell you the truth. Though I'm just
tuning in I'll admit.

who wants to talk about the last 80 seconds here.
we flubbed an inbounds pass (yes). then we had a chance to
catch up, even the announcer said all we need was a 2, and we
took a terrible three (guess who, our big). then it goes the
other way for 2. then another three we missed. then another in
the waning seconds that barely hit rim.
we ended up 6/22. so with those 16 misses... ah forget it.

Never mind the shot clock violation where we would have been
better off had play continued since we had a 3-1 advantage off
the fast break.
All in though, those final two minutes were atrocious. These
hail-mary threes we take every game need to be reigned in.

Left with pretty much that same feeling--Who couldn't see that
coming once the big lead started dwindling away?--along with the
thought that this game seemed like about the best you can expect
from SBU this year.
Hey, great crowd and felt like the old days when SBU jumped out
of the gate.

Both teams poor from the field but...
FTs
UA 17/21 81%
SBU 2/5 40%
Whoa.

Yeah, 2 for 13 in the second half looks terrible – and I hated a
few of them (Yeboah was pressing, the late three attempt by Ty)
– but 22 is a good total for us. The early threes put us ahead,
and then when UA reeled us in and went ahead, a few of them
actually got us back in it. I have a bigger problem with all the
stinkin' turnovers and missed twos. 15 for 35 inside the arc
sucks. Saintel mishandled an alley-oop and missed two dunks if
memory serves, and he had a terrible two attempt late just a
step inside the three point line. I liked McKenzie's
aggressiveness in this game – he's made some strides over the
last few – but he forced a couple in the paint. And I believe at
one point we had a tipped alley-oop pass that turned into a
turnover, a Cornish charge, and a terrible cross-court pass by
Ty in successive possessions somewhere in there. The Cornish
inbounds pass off the long break was horrific. Just too many
empty possessions. 18 freakin' second-half points.
Really disappointing that we pissed this one away, but I can't
say I'm surprised. UA chipped away at the double-digit deficit
and got it to six, and their backcourt brought it home. Nichols
got hot early in the second half; he and Cremo was just such
steady contributors. By contrast, we have guys who are so up and
down.
We shot 13 free throws in two games against Albany this year.
Not makes. Attempts. 17 makes to our two tonight. We are now 22
for 49 (.449) on free throws during this three-game losing
streak. Opponents are 49 for 68 (.721)

Just too many mental mistakes again . We just don't see to get
it with fouls , turnovers , free throws etc. We continued to
foul one of the best free throw shooting teams in Div 1 and I
cant blame the refs . Bobby Knight in his day made his guys
defend with no hands just their bodies and their foul problems
went away . Anyway UMBC is next and that will be another
struggle .
