Game 31, 2021-22: George Washington (A10 Rd 2, 3/10)

Post by MikeUMA » Tue Mar 08, 2022 3:29 pm

#7 GW vs #10 UMass
Atlantic 10 Tournament, Second Round
Thursday, March 10
6:00 PM
TV: USA
Stream: NBC Sports

February 15, 2014 - That's the last time UMass beat GW. 0-9 since.

Last time out: Feb 9, GW 77 at UMass 68. UM flubs a chance to gain ground in the standings, <30% from 3 and -12 on the glass. Buttrick 17 & 11. Rich 15 pts (6-8 FG). Off night for Noah, 1-11 FG and 4 pts. GW scores 11 over their average, and five Colonials combine for 75 pts.

That wasn't the biggest reason, but a contributing factor in McCall getting the early dismissal. Would be another little touch of irony if he manages to beat them when it's irrelevant for his UM future.

We've faced GW 10 times in the conf tourney, tied with Duquesne and Temple for the most we've squared off against an opponent in the tourney. 4-6 in that stretch, 1-3 in the last 4.

Winner gets #2 Dayton, Friday at 6.

I got my tix and will be there with the fam. My kids had so much fun at the mason game they begged me to go to this one. I’m hoping we have fun again! Go U

Somebody likes our chances…UMass opens as 2 1/2 point favorites.

Hopefully, Sam's big teeth will brush off the wooden teeth.

Whether it helps him keep his job or we move on anyway, I hope McCall and the team can make a magical run. It starts tonight.

Vegas likes us, moving up to 3 point favorites now.

Will this be McCall’s last game for UMass? We shall see!

Aside from some of the players having off days when we played them in Feb., we lost the game primarily for a couple of reasons.

1. We gave up 43 first half points to a team that scores 68 a game.
2. We got outrebounded 41-29. Trent had 11 and nobody else had more than 4.

If we can correct those 2 areas and get better production from Noah and TJ, it may not be McCall's last game. And as Mike said, we haven't beaten them since 2014 so we're due.

We should fix #2 at least. They're one of the worst rebounding teams in college basketball, per the stats.

Ok, predictions?

I'm gonna predict the Minutemen play loose, have a well balanced scoring game, and win this by 8. Jr Weeks & Rich go off for 20+ each, & Noah has a double digit assist game. Nothin to Lose Baby!

There’s always one team that makes an unexpected run. The A10 could be a one bid league, someone is going to steal a bid. Let’s make a run and shoot 3’s like they did in the tourney game last year. Just fire away with nothing to lose.

Prediction is an easy win tonight to give any remaining fans who still check the board hope.
