I know what happened the last game, but we did at one point have
a 20-point lead on these guys. They were hitting everything
late, particularly Calixte, and crawled all the way back. Even
though we've had our own struggles, I bumped my line all the way
up to 4.5 because Maine has had an occasional success but also
some real black eyes – a 24-point loss at home to Lowell, an
18-point home loss to Hartford, to name a few. We bark about our
own poor shooting, but Maine's down another level – just 40
percent from the floor, and under 30 percent from three.
White has turned into a nice second option behind Calixte, so as
long as nobody jumps ship, Walsh should have a solid backcourt
going into next year. White's gone for 20-plus in two of the
last four contests, including a career-high 23 in their overtime
win over Binghamton a week ago. He was one of a few supporting
cast members who brought Maine back into by bombing on us from
deep – he had one, and Ashley and Stojiljkovic had two apiece in
the second half.
One thing I worry about is any matchup with Calixte. Mac is an
inferior defender who is prone to foul trouble. I don't have
that much more confidence in Cornish. Maybe UC. Olaniyi seems to
be our new lockdown guy. Does it make sense for him mark the
smaller guy, or should we expect him on the longer, leaner
White? Or do we mix in some zone?
I feel like maybe we're settling into a groove. Maybe all the
lineup shuffling is settling down here. Garcia was a DNP-CD last
night, and Almonacy earned that distinction for a third straight
game. Ty's been given a long leash, but as we're hitting the
home stretch, he played just 12 minutes last night. Seniority be
damned. Who's going to be play hard on both ends of the floor?
Yeboah, Iroegbu, Olaniyi – that's our core. Their energy is too
important to what we're doing. And I think we'll see a fairly
even split with Mac and Cornish at the point, and then a mix of
Ty, Ochefu and Petras at the 4/5 depending on what our needs
are. Sprinkle in Sekunda and Saintel.
I'd love a result just like last night. We're the better team.
Go out and show it from the jump and maintain our authority for
40 minutes.

UML last night was the first conference game that we should have
won. also it seems we are still experimenting with the lineup,
but getting more freshmen on and more bigs (playing like bigs).
so with that in mind, if it keeps consistent, i'll take SB. GO

This team is tough to watch This year. I am not sure if it is
on the coach or if the players just don't have a good basketball
IQ. Brutal is an understatement!!

early 11 point lead blown with bricks for threes. not even sure
why were were shooting these with such a cushion. one didnt
even hit rim (it was top center too). and another miss didnt
count because it was after the shot clock. and so we go into
the locker room up 1 instead of 11. against a team with 20
losses.

We are pretty bad all around. Nothing kind to say at this point
we could get whipped by a terrible team .

Not sure if I could watch the remaining games.. Darn shame. I
feel like the their BB program took 5 steps backwards once
Pikell departed. This could be the begging of the end for
program for many years to come.
