i know we forced 11 turnovers, but 9 for us is too many. anlso as stated by someone before the defensive rebounding needs to be shored up . other than that the first half was okay.

I know it's been said many times already but these announcers are so bad. They keep messing up who has the ball Harris or Gurley, and is he really calling the color guy Wolfman? I'm sorry, Wolfman is a radio legend of the '50s, not an amateur college basketball commentator. If his name actually is Wolfman, my apologies.

On the game, I hope we can stretch this out to a 10-12 point lead. If the lead stays around 6, and we miss a couple 3s in a row, I can see this becoming another slowdown offense, frustrating loss. Lowe is playing well though, now that he's back in.
I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

Bonnies have made 10 of their first 11 shots of the second half, but UMass is still up 3, 55-52, with 11:44 left.

"Bonner has 11 points, and that's his 3rd or 4th three pointer tonight." I take it St Bonaventure's mathematics department isn't a strong suit :lol:

This team plays scared down the stretch, and that's on Kellogg. Watching the last play on channelsurfing, I have no idea how it was a jump ball. Terrible officiating. The ball went out of bounds on someone.

We have to foul, and pray. Game's not over though, Bonnies not a good freethrow shooting team.
