Not at all. To me, it would have been a simple post game press conference question asking why a player who has played every game this season when healthy didn't play.

I think if he was hurt, it would have been mentioned on the pregame show. I listened to some of the pregame, but I don't remember hearing the injury report.

Here's some thoughts about the game itself. They will play zone against us, and the key to winning will be ball movement. We should get the ball into the post (high or low) and then get the kick out for the open three. I don't think we have to shoot great from three, but just in the 35% range. Farrell has shown that he can do a good job in the high post. Sampson Carter is the other guy who has shown he is a good passer, and could also be in the post.

I really hope Yves Mekongo doesn't play. He always kills us. Their line up lacks ball handling and point guard play. Some pressure defense from us could be effective.

I just got a call from Quann who happens to be in Philly for work and is at the game.

Gurley is at it again. What is it with him? According to Tim Kenney he has 3 f-ups already.

channelsurfing announcers just said UMass radio worried about a blown ACL for Vinson. Not Good!

EDIT: Video just showed him with ice on his ankle...could be better than they thought.

Man are we going to miss Ricky, I hope he gets a good sendoff at home.

Regardless of what happens in this game (looks like a loss), this is just embarassing. The team (except for Ricky) is trying to phone in the effort.

I have been patient with the season and there have been some "streaks" for various players, but what makes a solid team is when those streaks become consistency, and we haven't shown anything that resembles that this season, except our consistent ability to lose games.

Kellogg is going to be a marked man next season if he doesn't do better.

Its just plain sad:
-15 years ago we were hoping to get to the Championship game
-10 years ago we were just hoping to make the dance
-5 years ago we were just hoping to make the NIT
-Now we are just hoping to make the A-10 Tournament

Man have the fanbase's expectations had to sink pretty low.

Never looked at it like that. Man how far we have fallen

This team doesn't deserve to go to the Tourney. They just plain suck &
DK has no clue how to coach!

I'm disgusted. I have to agree, this is a poorly coached team. I hope things get better in the future.

well, we lost, st.joes won. We either NEED TO BEAT URI or St.Joes NEEDS TO LOSE its final game which is at home, otherwise we are out.
