BU 61 vs. UMKC 73

Horrible effort in the first half. Down 12 to a marginal D-I team.

Coaching staff better figure out how to make some serious adjustments at the half, or we will be staring at the most embarrassing BU losses in recent memory.

We are clearly athletically superior to this team, so there's no reason we shouldn't be able to run them off the court in the second half, but right now there are no shooters on this team and everyone is playing completely out of control when they get into the lane...ugly, ugly basketball.
 
Well two things are abunantly clear: 1) We are not a very good perimiter shooting team and 2) We seem to view playing against a zone defense like trying to read hieroglyphics
 
The problem is I am at work and the TV is on a different channel, due to service customers watching what they want. When I start watching...all will be fine ;)

A lot of athleticism...no shooters, unfortunately...we are going to see zone all year long until SM, AW, etc. start hitting some open threes...

Don't you mean take their open shot? How did all our 6 foot guards get all their points in high school. IMO if WE and AT can't play for the this team there's somethng wrong.
 
Mark my words - BU will win this game.

That said, this team & their slow starts are beginning to concern me.

They should be blowing UMKC out!!!

Our bigs just aren't very good...that is the problem. You can't go big for the sake of going big, if your bigs are not ready to contribute.

Our "smalls" have been horrible in this game...but putting a bunch of our bigs in the game won't magically fix the problem, in my opinion.

But 16 turnovers in the first half and 1 for 400 from three certainly isn't much support for continuing with the status quo...so maybe it's time to try something completely different in the second half.
 
Turn overs and forced play are killing this team right now! 13 TO's for umkc already...but we have to score
