That is just awful. UMass stretches it out to 6 with them in for their biggest lead of the game. Finally with 6:55 to play he got them out. Why is Jordan Davis not in the game there instead of Svoboda. Anything but that lineup.

I want to understand the logic there as well. Jordan played 21 of the first 27 minutes and then nothing the last 13? Not to mention that Darrell Davis was out a good portion of that time with 4 fouls.

I'd also question why there was no timeout at the beginning of the half. Couple careless passes for turnovers, settling for 3's, and a couple lazy fouls on D as the 5 point lead goes away and UMass takes the lead. A quick timeout to lay into the guys to wake up was in order.
