Coming up from the Philly area with my son. His first Umass game.

The Big10 Network mafia has this game on lockdown. The only option is BTN+ streaming. Good luck to you.

TJ Weeks replacing Keon in the starting lineup today. Trying to get some early offense going and using Keon as the energy guy off the bench.

BTN+ has the game for $10 (Rutgers monthly subscription). I’ll trust this over reddit forums. Go UMass!

New suit on the bench. Any idea who? Maybe new S&C coach?

Terrible coaching performance by McCall so far. Awful.

If Sy and Samba can’t start contributing offensively this team is really going to struggle to beat good teams. I think Sy’s shot will start falling at some point and Samba needs to keep attacking the hoop. Right now they aren’t scoring and it’s a big problem.

We had all the momentum and control of the game, then Rutgers goes on a 13-0 run; zero adjustments, zero timeouts. We look at worse on the court in every way possible right now. Awful defensive adjustments and matchups, it’s bad. Bergeron looks more frustrated than usual as well.

East has 2 assists and 3 turnovers at the half. He's really struggled against better competition these last few games

2nd half against St Johns and 1st half against Rutgers have easily been the worst two halves of the year. Team seems to be hitting a wall against stronger/faster competition, as can be expected with a team relying heavily on freshmen. Hopefully they can make it a game in the 2nd.

Sy finally got the ball going to the basket. He hit a shot and drew some fouls toward the end of the half. We need more of that from him and Samba.
Our offense is just too limited with Trey in the paint, and Carl and TJ shooting 3s.
I think we have the right guys coming in next year - we need guards/wings who can get in the lane, draw fouls, and finish in traffic.
We played pretty poorly and still and have a shot but need to limit turnovers.

I'll give the kid a break since he's a freshman running the point with basically no backup (Keon has said himself that he prefers to play off the ball). It would be nice to get Kolton back before A10 play
