Game 9, 2018-2019 Holy Cross, 12-4-18

Right now, this isn't a particularly likeable team. Not a lot of fun to watch.

[GOODY]

Same old. This coach not cutting it so far. On paper should be winning these games ! Disappointed

[bunkerhill87]

Players need to execute. Poor effort. Dissappointing

[RageintheCage]

The players didn't play well tonight. The coaches didn't coach well tonight. There were no fans. Other than that the play was great Mrs. Lincoln.

[inthescoop]

So we call a timeout, just to get out coached, and Holy Cross beat the press with no problem.

To not have a timeout on offense and it forced us to get an out of control shot from Clergeot.

[capezona]

WTF kind of shot was that at the end of the game.

Someone wake me up when UMass basketball doesn’t suck anymore.

McCall is underwhelming and his teams do not consistently play hard and smart. Terrible effort and execution tonight which is becoming a theme. Really wouldn’t care if McCall lasts because I don’t think he knows how to get his guys playing with urgency and making good decisions.

[Carl Spackler]

Wow...UMass is a bad basketball team right now....McCall looks stunned and searching for answers....this team plays shit defense....Holy Cross deserved that game.

[McKinney]

Is UMass cursed? Why can't we have nice things?

[Sheck]

Someone wake me up when UMass basketball doesn’t suck anymore.

The way things are going you'll be asleep longer than Rip Van Winkle.

Having bad games and occasionally not executing is one thing, but the apparent lack of interest and half-assed hustle is completely unacceptable. From what I have seen over 9 games, it doesn't seem like McCall can get these guys to play on a regular basis. On another note, for much of the season, this has not been even close to a fun team to watch, win or lose.

[Almontis]

Ya, 78, you're right.

Frontcourt depth a problem, yes. Starting wings not great at D, rebounding, efficient scoring, creating. pushing the pace...

Lack of identity, uninspired... There's a lot to be down on, but I think we have the right guy for the job.

This season is off to a very disappointing start, not sure why they aren’t playing with more urgency and passion. I also don’t understand why KTM wasn’t inserted to bang with their big guy, Chatman is going to be good but he’s not a Center and he doesn’t look comfortable.

Sadly i agree. I like McCall but his message not being heard. Gonna be tough year. Jealous of the teams that come in and play solid low mistake ball. We are definitely a Jeckl and Hyde team
