Confused on why Clerc has fallen out of the rotation
Because Frank wants to punish us with Damjanac.
Frank has zero ability to set good rotations and make good substitution decisions.

Agree on the subs. Really needs to shrink the rotation 2nd half. Dks needs to settle down. Here we go. Do we hold the lead or not

Just as he was asserting himself and playing well. Mysterious.

The UMass fans know it, the WMU fans know it, the WMU announcers definitely know it, everyone knows it but Frank, but we won today because of Bettiol. Good fight from Marcus and KJei as well today, they came up big. And you can argue that today was Wimbley’s best game so far.
Easy scouting report for Carbuccia, don’t let him drive in the lane and give him the open shot.
DHS was pretty invisible today. He has been for a couple of games this season. Pretty unfortunate that we gave him $500k no problem but didn’t offer that amount to Matt Cross who was much more important for the program.
Jayden is a fan favorite and does all the small things right but it’s a shame his offensive game never excelled.

Nice to hold on for the win.
For anyone who might be interested the women play at 11 AM tomorrow in what is usually a grammar school field day game. Usually get a lot of schools at the game. Been to a lot of them when I lived back in MA.

They went on a crazy 3 pt run there that kept them in it, gotta give them credit for getting hot. But we buckled down and got big buckets when needed

Well certainly gaining experience in tight games.made free throws. Jayden is my favorite player. He just doesn't get the looks he needs. Maybe him or just not an option. His energy is off the cuff. KJ Marcus and Bettiol were great though I felt a couple of quick 3s by Marcus late were not ideal. Win thats all that matters

I’m thrilled to get a W but cannot understand why KJ does not get more minute. 36-37 from line this year and shoots 45% from 3. Danny and Jayden cannot score. While Jayden is strong defensively I just cannot see why KJ only gets 20 minutes a game.

Guess we're just going to have to accept every MAC game is going to be a rock fight. This was a hard fought win.
Give WBB more money.
