Need to get this to halftime and regroup. Bonnies can’t miss. Got to keep it under 20, hopefully under 15

The welders are going to hit their season average for points in the first half…

Such a massive drop off from Noah to Keon. Thompson has been butchering the offense and can’t keep Rumpelstilskin in front of him. Bonnie’s aren’t that good, UMass could still come back. But this is looking like a Matt McCall game.

I can see why Mark Schmidt never left the Bonnies for a big boy team, he knows he’ll never get this type of home court advantage anywhere else

We don't move on offense. Not hard to defend

A lot of this is self-inflicted. Hopefully we can see in the 2nd half what this team is made of.

Unless we are running the always effective weave.

Kante showed up at least, need him Cross to score in the paint. Keon needs to have the red light from 3, he can’t shoot. Game definitely isn’t over, need a run to start half

Offense is a real mess out there and without Noah it’s even worse than a mess. No easy shots, rough spacing, turnovers galore, just bad all around.

Defense hasn’t been much better — a step slow, penetration leading to good looks for the Bonnie’s who have struggled on offense coming into this one.

Can’t point to one player and say “well at least he played well.”

Oof. Plenty of time to come back but man, that was one depressing half of basketball. Not sure the offense is good enough to come back and not getting enough stops to get anything going in transition.

Lazy turnovers are just killers.

I’m not one to say this but the referees completely changed this game.

Wish I was a fly on the wall in that locker room, we can only win this game with heart and grit now.

Bonnies fouling a lot early. One way to get back into this game is via foul trouble, but then we of course have to HIT OUR FREE THROWS!

They are not playing smart at all. Heads aren't in it, and SBU pulling crazy shots out of their ass. Bad combo.
