Game 10, 2024-25: UMass Lowell (12/7)

[MikeUMA]

Noontime game. Over/under on # of students- 75

They're giving away a PS5 bundle to a student tomorrow, so add about 7 or 8 more to that O/U.

Oh yeah, that will absolutely get students in the building.

While I care about how many students show up because it improves the atmosphere, what I really want is for the players to show up. After the CCSU game and Frank's post-game presser, I am worried.

^ Well said, 69.

I'm going to be there and am hopeful that coach Harasymiak will be in attendance and get announced. It's a Saturday afternoon game against what has turned in to a pretty fun and competitive in-state rivalry, so I'm actually excited for this one and hope that the team shows up. No matter how bad we are, we should get excited for defending our home floor against U-Lowell.

Well said, Juice. I think I saw something about Coach Joe being introduced at halftime today. See you there.

Today's lineup features Malek starting at the 5. Given that he was starter for game one and starting today, I think Frank has some faith in him. Apparently he was sick in recent weeks. Hopefully we haven't seen what he can do yet because he hasn't shown anything yet.

Players aren't playing particularly hard. We're on the verge of quitting you can feel it.

Man, I just don’t understand the way Martin substitutes. 8-0 UML run after starting 5 actually was off to a rare good start. Just maddening they way he yanks dudes at the weirdest times.

[umassbaseball]

Absolutely no offensive flow once again

[inthescoop]

Just when I was thinking wow we’re actually playing well today.. UMass Lowell goes on a 10-0 run

Couldn’t agree more. He put 4 subs in and that led to a 10-0 run. Completely predictable.

Players will make mistakes. He makes players play scared where they won’t be aggressive because they know if they play a bit aggressive they might make a mistake and get yanked off. So their mindset is if they want playing time then they need to be passive and not make any mistakes and to simply play it safe. You’re not going to win many games playing it safe these days.

Yup, I agree.

Where's Nate today? Maybe give Rahsool a little break and see if Nate can generate a little offense

[BR72]

This may be the worst shooting UM team I’ve ever seen.

[Upstate10]

Who was Bam Bam bidding against when he gave this dude an extension?
