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

I don't understand how the refs can look at that video and call it a flagrant foul. His elbows weren't even out. The defender is basically in Holloway's space.

[bunkerhill87]

Bad call but need to put it behind them. Need stops and our shot selection sucks. McCall needs to shrink the rotation and stay with a smaller group.

[inthescoop]

Definitely a questionable call but wow what a charge taken by Pierre... lots of heart right there.

[bunkerhill87]

Well coached team. We seem to fall out of offense when we are down. Good teams play within the system and limit mistakes. We got a long way to go

[inthescoop]

For some reason, we looked gassed. We are playing so slooooww.

Holy Cross being in the bonus with 10 minutes left is also no bueno. All in all, Holy Cross looks a lot more disciplined.

Win or lose tonight, this is a mediocre basketball team right now with zero front court depth.

[inthescoop]

And I thought DK was bad with never calling time outs.

[capezona]

HC up by 9 with 5 to play. UMass is looking mediocre right now.

[bunkerhill87]

Brutal. Cobb and pipkins forcing thr ball. No extra pass. For an open look. We are getting schooled badly. Such a joy to watch a disciplined team

[78]

MCCall is a big part of the problem just based on the lineups he putting on the floor. As far as I am concerned, this team right now is worse than last year’s under manned, overmatched squad.

[inthescoop]

^Pipkins and Cobb, ironically you mentioned the players with the most assists tonight.

So is Matt Faw fouled out or not?

[utterlyoptimistic]

Posters are worried about McCall leaving for a better job when they should be worried about this year’s team losing to Howard and Holy Cross. This team looks poorly coached in the Harvard, Howard, and tonight against Holy Cross.

I do think he needs to shorten the rotation

[78]

Sorry, but this team right now is no different than the DK teams most of us bitched about. And to be honest, they don’t play nearly as hard. What a disappointment. Likely end up under .500 in non-con play.

Did the varsity decide not to show up tonight? They are playing like the JV
