Time to bring back "Watch Out!"

^ IV called it "prior legal problem" for good reason.

I wonder if anyone has done a thesis on how/why teams flip a switch and take over. Ten minutes all UConn and then 50 minutes all us.

This week @UMassWBB was tied mid-third and then ran 38-13 to end their game.

UConn plays again tomorrow afternoon, so probably wanted to make it an early night

Early because St. John's hoops (with our buddy Ricky P. coaching) is at UConn tonight. Game started at 8. Two top twenty teams.

Another big run: Went from tie game in third to 38-13 run to end it.

Ten played and nine scored. Quite different from the Verdi days.

Maine goalie's end of game save makes ESPN's Top Ten this morning.

Turned their game on early third. Announcers were saying it was much like the first half. A few minutes later someone hits an "on" button and they run 21-3. Nice. I did not see any strategy change.

Fun seeing the Rupp faithful head for the exits down 14 with several minutes left, and nice to see Bruiser on the bench.

NESN+ says they have it. Only ESPN+ listed on the UMass site.
