Massachusetts Game Thread
 
Heck of a week for the guys, hopefully Cooke is back on Wednesday. UMass not so much, another slow start to conference play, right now 0-3. Let's see if we can go in and win at a place we have not won in the regular season is 2004... Take care of Business!

Game is at 7 PM on Wednesday night and will be shown on CBS Sports Network.

Probable Starting Lineup:
G 2 Luwane Pipkins 5’11” 185 FR Chicago, Illinois
G 0 Donte Clark 6’4” 192 JR Charlotte, North Carolina
G 3 Dejon Jarreau 6’5” 182 FR New Orleans, Louisiana
F 55 Brison Gresham 6’9” 220 FR New Orleans, Louisiana
C 45 Rashaan Holloway 6’11” 310 SO Elmer, New Jersey

Clark is their best player... 14.7 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 3.2 APG. Looks like Holloway is playing well, 11 pts and 6 reb a game in 18 MPG. Also, their 2 freshman guards are having decent years as well (Pipkins 11 PPG, Jarreau 9 PPG).

Get it done... Go UD!

We have played some of our worst basketball @ UMASS...... I am real nervous about this one!

Lifelong Flyer Fan 01-09-2017 12:30 PM

At the press conference call this am, Archie said Charles integrated yesterday with a light work out and is going full go today and they will see how he does.

oddly enough it is home to one of the top 5 utter baffling outcomes in 25 years of following them. That 30 point BEATDOWN at the Mullins Center in the first round of the A-10 Tournament 5 or 6 years ago

BRob2Perryman3 01-10-2017 06:37 PM

And i hate this kind of game. We always seem to crap the bed in one of these kinds of games. Team with decent talent but showing absolutely nothing and getting crushed up and down the court........then they have their "brown out" or "red out", the students show up the one time all year, a couple of bums get hot and presto.....horrible loss and RPI hit

m21eagle45 01-11-2017 10:49 AM

I saw UMass in person last week vs VCU and they looked awful. They were extremely sloppy with the basketball. VCU wasn't really even applying that much pressure (for their style of play) and UMass was turning the ball over left and right. They are VERY undisciplined, and I think that comes from their coach. VCU, who may actually play smaller than us at times, really struggled with Halloway inside, but he could really only play a few possessions before they had to take him out. His backups were not very good. On paper, with Cooke back at full go, this should be an easy win...but as mentioned above, we have seen what has happened at UMass in the past.

Chris R 01-11-2017 11:19 AM

The basket is the size of a shower curtain ring at Mullins. Nothing we hoist ever goes in. Conversely, UMass plays out of their skulls at home when they see our jerseys. Alley oops. 26ft treys. 4pt plays. Curly Neal dribble drives. Fadeaway backfooted spinning baselibe Js from 18ft with 2 seconds on the shot clock and a hand in the face. Id like to see us rise to our own level and TCB in Amherst for a change.

Radar 01-11-2017 11:58 AM

Does UMass not have cheerleaders?

Rollo?

rollo 01-11-2017 12:26 PM

UMass cheerleaders on Spring Break!
 

Chris R 01-11-2017 03:29 PM

Sheila on the left is giving precisely 0 Fs to the exhibition. She wants a cigarette and she wants some clam chowda.

jack72 01-11-2017 06:58 PM

For those Dan Hurley bashers, he has a good side, he roots for the Bengals.

LIBob 01-11-2017 07:01 PM

Jack, you mean you watched that "Everyone is great except Dayton" 30 minute love fest too?

Swampy Meadows 01-11-2017 07:02 PM

Charles will play

DD starting... Cooke off the bench

C-time 01-11-2017 07:08 PM

That is all I want Darrell to do on the offensive end. Catch it and shoot it! Don't drive.

jack72 01-11-2017 07:08 PM

DD three point siting!

Maybe Archie will have a couple early plays for Davis. If he can hit a shot or two early, maybe it will give him some confidence.

Swampy Meadows 01-11-2017 07:14 PM

10 all with 15:15 left in the half

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:15 PM

Great start for Darrell Davis...hopefully a confidence-builder. Scoochie has been a bit lackadaisical with the ball.

jack72 01-11-2017 07:16 PM

We are allowing them too many offensive rebounds. We have got to push them out of the blocks.

C-time 01-11-2017 07:20 PM

Where was Crosby even trying to dribble to there?

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:20 PM

3 terrible turnovers...just plain clumsy.

lhsgolf19 01-11-2017 07:21 PM

15-10 UD with 12 min left... Cooke with 5 straight

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:22 PM

Cooke, Pollard, and Crosby are all trying to do way too much and it has resulted in five turnovers so far.

The same place he does every game the first time he enters. You'd think he'd learn by now. And then when the ball wasn't yet in UMass possession, no Flyers around to get the ball.

jack72 01-11-2017 07:24 PM

We have 5 turnovers in 8 minutes.

C-time 01-11-2017 07:27 PM

6 turnovers in 9 minutes for UD. That ain't good.

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:28 PM

We don't need X shooting jump shots off the dribble!

C-time 01-11-2017 07:32 PM

And Umass is now unconscious from 3. I've seen this movie before.

21-19 Umass U8 TO

lhsgolf19 01-11-2017 07:32 PM

21-19 Umass with 7:37 left

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:32 PM

John Crosby is way out of control tonight. The Flyers better stop those open-look threes.

The Flyers are unusually slow in their rotations tonight.

jack72 01-11-2017 07:35 PM

Pollard a turnover machine with 3

jack72 01-11-2017 07:36 PM

Williams needs to sit.

kiefaber455 01-11-2017 07:38 PM

Sounds like everyone needs to sit.

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:38 PM

Now I will throw X in with the rest of the group trying to do too much too early in the shot clock.

Smitty10 01-11-2017 07:38 PM

Defense is pathetic so far. Not typical for us.

lhsgolf19 01-11-2017 07:38 PM

25-19 UMass with 6 min left

jack72 01-11-2017 07:38 PM

And Williams does not get back on D.

C-time 01-11-2017 07:38 PM

Archie about lost it on Darrell while calling that timeout.

He may have to let Scoochie play even though he has two fouls.

Falcon7 01-11-2017 07:39 PM

Real nice DD...

udx2 01-11-2017 07:40 PM

18-4 UMass run.

C-time 01-11-2017 07:40 PM

Pollard takes a 3 after one pass. That is a bad shot.

Falcon7 01-11-2017 07:40 PM

Pollard shooting 3's, has to stop.

Smitty10 01-11-2017 07:40 PM

We need a backup point guard.

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:40 PM

We don't need Kendall shooting threes 5 seconds into the shot clock!!!!!!!!!!!

Alberto Strasse 01-11-2017 07:41 PM

The Defense Has Not Travelled
 
to UMASS again this year. Flyers are showing no effort on the defensive end. Leave a wakeup call for Scooch.

jack72 01-11-2017 07:41 PM

What in the heck is Pollard thinking... he isn't

T-Bone 84 01-11-2017 07:41 PM

Looking pretty fugly right now. Had a 15-10 lead, then UMass on an 18-4 run. And Baby D helps stem the tide with 2 FTs.

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:42 PM

Our ball-handling is terrible. Nine turnovers.

lhsgolf19 01-11-2017 07:42 PM

31-21 UMass with 3:50 left

C-time 01-11-2017 07:43 PM

Archie really needs to get Scoochie back in for these last 4 minutes. He's your senior leader and you just have to trust him to play without fouling.

T-Bone 84 01-11-2017 07:43 PM

Nice block by KP. One of only a few positives in the last 10 minutes.
Posted via Mobile Device

jack72 01-11-2017 07:43 PM

UMass 5-10 on threes, but bigger is our 33% shooting and 10 turnovers, and Scoochie getting two fouls.

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:44 PM

Scoochie is AWOL; Pollard is impatient and not thinking; John Crosby is out of control; and X is playing like he has never been on the court before!!

kiefaber455 01-11-2017 07:45 PM

Looks like this could turn into one of those OOC losses--get to far down early and can't climb all they way back.

udx2 01-11-2017 07:45 PM

10 turnovers v. 4 for UMass and UMass 5 for 10 on 3s. I keep reminding myself that we are a second half team.

Falcon7 01-11-2017 07:46 PM

Ref faked out...

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:48 PM

Scoochie: Give it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

MikeF 01-11-2017 07:48 PM

It's difficult to give yourself a chance to win when you have 12 turnovers, with so many of them simply unforced.

Falcon7 01-11-2017 07:49 PM

Clank.., Hey we got a point!

C-time 01-11-2017 07:49 PM

UMass is going to have to repaint the visitors locker after Archie finishes with halftime.

udx2 01-11-2017 07:50 PM

Davis hits a 3 to get it to single digits. Needed that.

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:50 PM

Archie yanked Scoochie out of the game...and he should have. His head is not in the game at all. He is playing like he could care less about protecting the ball.

Falcon7 01-11-2017 07:50 PM

A fg after about 7 minutes

kiefaber455 01-11-2017 07:51 PM

The Pipkin kid was 10-47 in his last 4 games--and 8 of 32 from 3, and tonight he can't miss.
All UD has to do is show up at the Mullins Center and some phucking Minuteman goes off and shoots lights out.

udx2 01-11-2017 07:51 PM

Close it some more.

lhsgolf19 01-11-2017 07:53 PM

34-27 UMass at the half

udx2 01-11-2017 07:54 PM

34-27 is better than where we were. Hope that this is another tale of two halves.

Swampy Meadows 01-11-2017 07:54 PM

Down 7 at the half--could be a helluva lot worse
Posted via Mobile Device

C-time 01-11-2017 07:54 PM

34-27 Umass Halftime.

Very lucky to only be down 7.

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:54 PM

Scoochie waited too long again. I cannot believe the coaches don't get on his case about that. As good as he is, when he holds the ball to run down the clock, he is abysmal. Frankly, I would rather see John out there in those situations.

jack72 01-11-2017 07:54 PM

Down 7 and we hold the ball for a bad almost last shot. Stupid. We had some momentum finally, and then we kill it. How was that planned?

MikeF 01-11-2017 07:56 PM

I'm hoping that run of threes becomes fool's gold for UMass...they essentially stopped looking inside.

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:56 PM

I always say this, but I think UMass would be highly vulnerable to a press with all of those freshmen.

TommyGola 01-11-2017 07:57 PM

I hope Archie is in their face with this dismal first half with 11 turnovers.

Alberto Strasse 01-11-2017 07:58 PM

Flyers Just Not Ready to Go at the Start
 
Another putrid first half of basketball by the Flyers. This is a very bad habit for a team that has tournament ambitions. The Coaching staff has to make an adjustment.

jack72 01-11-2017 07:59 PM

The Davis twins are the only ones who came to play. The rest of our starters were stinko.

Have not seen this team take a good shot this year to end a half on.

DGO67 01-11-2017 08:03 PM

Their threes, our TOs and bad shot selection and we're only down 7 at the half?
Not time to worry...yet!

maddog07 01-11-2017 08:05 PM

Crosby is just so terrible. Adds nothing on offense then gets his pocket picked.

jack72 01-11-2017 08:09 PM

We gave up 21 points in the last 10 minutes. Poor shooting and turnovers, but our defense is why we are behind.

lhsgolf19 01-11-2017 08:12 PM

UD quickly back to within 3

Can't say it enough, Archie needs pull in an above average graduate transfer PG who can play immediately next year. UD can't have Crosby running the team next year waiting for Wright to get/be ready.

It's so strange: it's a team of talented players who can get to the basket, is often extremely effective at moving the ball, and has a coach who regularly scripts good plays coming out of dead balls...we should thrive in these situations.

MikeF 01-11-2017 08:17 PM

Carrying the ball in basketball is like holding in football: referees could call it every possession if they wanted.

lhsgolf19 01-11-2017 08:20 PM

38-35 UMass with 15:50 left... KP with 2 FTs after the break

I think Holloway hurt himself but i'm not sure

I think he's just gassed. Played 15 minutes in 1st half. Hasn't played over 26 the whole season.

C-time 01-11-2017 08:24 PM

Umass has returned to their normal 3 point shooting. Missed last 8

kiefaber455 01-11-2017 08:25 PM

Pollard and Mikesell are 4 for 17 between them

C-time 01-11-2017 08:26 PM

Holloway with an impressive baseline spin move.

Probably because he was in complete shock that dude went for the spin move.

Another game....waiting to be won. Can we step up?
