Yeah. It's disappointing that he's injured. But don't have control over that unfortunately, and injuries do affect performance.

Re: Game 23, 2022-23: Davidson (2/4)
There was some talk in the Frank Martin thread of the game maybe passing him by, which I didn't buy into, but his comments after today's loss have made me revisit that. A lot of talk about "kids these days", which is never a good sign.

https://twitter.com/MLBergman_/status/1 ... 3172591616
https://twitter.com/UMassHoops_com/stat ... 0431599616That's getting harder and harder to teach these days. When previous generations played for guys like Bob Hurley, Morgan Wootten, or my high school coach Shaky Rodriguez you learn before anything to guard the ball. If you didn't guard the ball you never played.
For the record, I agree with him. Play tougher on defense, guard your man, all that. But don't frame it as "kids these days", it just looks bad.Frank in the postgame radio is bemoaning the general defensive effort, yearning for the days when guys either played D or sat, without hitting the portal if they didn’t like it.
Re: Game 23, 2022-23: Davidson (2/4)
Should be playing mostly zone defense the rest of the way as this team has to be the slowest team in the league. Plus a guy like Gapare, who is pathetic guarding his man might actually become a factor. Keon played well at the pt, but not defensively. His man drove past him constantly

Re: Game 23, 2022-23: Davidson (2/4)
It looks bad to you and I’m sure many other fans, but how the players react is really the factor. The players appeared to be trying all game. They got torched by role players all game on defense. This was a winnable game and the defense blew it. The offense played better than expected.Juice Stand wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:05 pm There was some talk in the Frank Martin thread of the game maybe passing him by, which I didn't buy into, but his comments after today's loss have made me revisit that.

Re: Game 23, 2022-23: Davidson (2/4)
Agree with the first part of what you said, and I'm not saying the game has passed him by, just that those are weak comments and make him look like an out of touch old-timer. I'm not putting any stock in the performance today. Without 3 important perimeter defenders, they never had a chance to defend the way coach wants them to. It's hard to play for 40 minutes with one arm tied behind your back.Camby4Life wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:20 pmIt looks bad to you and I’m sure many other fans, but how the players react is really the factor.

Killed on the boards and gave up tons of good looks from 3, of which Davidson hit most. Effort was an issue.

Watch the presser for yourself. The tweets are not reflective of the context or the message I got from watching the whole thing. He essentially was saying holding kids accountable doesn’t happen now until they get to college. The portal was. It what he was talking about. He was talking about moving from team to team before college. He was also saying he is trying to find ways to hold kids accountable. He also said he enjoys and likes all the guys on the team and that they are good people.Juice Stand wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:05 pm There was some talk in the Frank Martin thread of the game maybe passing him by, which I didn't buy into, but his comments after today's loss have made me revisit that.

Re: Game 23, 2022-23: Davidson (2/4)
Tough loss to a sharp shooting team. No Luis, no Diggins, no Noah….Cross’ performance on light of his recent illness was remarkable.
Wildens….please stop attempting 3s.
Isaac…when you’re that close to the basket-dunk it!
I’m looking forward to a Gapare break-out game.
Keon played well offensively…12 assists against only 2 turnovers.
UMass blew the promotional aspect of today’s game. Other than 500 pink “replica” jerseys and one trivia question…absolutely zero Dr. J stuff…no videos, no visit from the man himself…nothing!
Meanwhile there were more references, including a video message fro Cal, to today being the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Bill than to Dr. J.
Coulda/shoulda been two distinct ‘days’.
