Mitchell serves no purpose! The team has almost lost the entire 15 point lead! Get him out of the game!!!!
They always blow a major lead when he's in the game!
His 2 points so far have been huge!

awful start to the 2nd half.  they scored 21 in about six minutes.

nyama hasnt made great decisions with the ball.  not to mention 4 total fouls just after the half.

SB barely stays head while VT pulls away from UA.

BC plays FAST, but they arent finishing.  it's an interesting gameplan because SB literally runs two squads of five fresh bodies. 

our FTs have been great this year.  nice half. 

woody is becoming one of my all-time SB favorites.   ;D

tight game over at VT/UA.

We gonna miss him so much next year. He is more than just PG.

clutch shooting from sekunda (the "deuce").  both from 2 and 3.  i think he needs more playing time.

woody a perfect 9/9 from FT, 23pts and had limited time due to foul trouble. 

clutch paint play from sturdy in the waning minutes.  and btw yeboah- 10 boards and 16pts, made use of the minutes.  well done.

you could tell early on that BC would get into foul trouble and lost two forwards, darley being the key.  and then two guards. 

not only did boals coach a win in another tight conference game, but they really opened it up at the end- we were up two and stretched it to ten.

bingo beats hartford.  VT beats UA.

UMBC made adjustments in the 2nd half with their zone and made a huge, 21 point run to come within 1 point. Coach Boals made adjustments of his own with switching player on player. Great job coach! Something tells me if this had happen last year, SB would have lost this game..

Solid, solid win from the good guys

Iroegbu is legitimately one of the worst 3 point shooters I can remember. He needs to eliminate that from his game because he can't buy a bucket from deep.

Woodhouse is amazing- thank you Coach Pikiell for getting us our MVP this year. This team would be abysmal without him.

Sturdivant gets too easily shut down by quality bigs- it wasn't until late in the game that he found some holes. I'm worried about him against teams with quality big men like UVM.

Yeboah continues to slowly improve.

We don't have the talent to match up to Vermont but we'll see how it goes. We have nothing to lose.

I read somewhere Iroegbu was brought in to shoot the 3 ball...

I agree about Woodhouse. This team would be flirting with 7th place if he wasn't on the team

Nice game from the reserve guards. Aggression from UC and Almonacy! UC taking it to the goal! His first time in double digits and he had some big boards too. Those two gave us some big minutes with Woodhouse in foul trouble.

How about seeing basically our second unit close out the game, with Sturdy and Woody shuttling in and out. *34* bench points tonight.

A less attractive stat: *76* free throws between the two teams. Yuck.

I would like to see Sturdy's first and second half splits. I feel like he's had some big second halves for us. Another one tonight.

I thought UMBC did a nice job taking us out of our rhythm offensively by picking up their defense in the backcourt or at least at half. It took us longer to get into our sets and it felt strained. Maura is a pain. I also think Woody was conscious of how Maura's size disadvantage makes it easier for him to sell drawing offensive fouls. Maybe not. Just how I saw it.

Love Darley. He's got a nice game inside and out. I feel like he remembered last year's tournament game too. Loves our gym.

Sekunda's three at 47-45 felt like a 10-pointer.

Saturday's for first place, boys.

I think Iroegbu needs to try to diversify his offensive game because he looked good when he wasn't jacking up shots from downtown.

I think I have seen enough to say he's not a Sekunda type 3 point shooter. He'll hit them once in a while but he's not good enough to be jacking up 3s all the time. If he wants to see playing time he needs to drive to the hoop and create shots for himself and others.

Nice game almost all around . Some of guys need to make better decisions with the ball . It got vey sloppy there .  Yeboah is a real nice pick up and only a freshman .

I agree completely. College basketball has become less watchable because so many games turn into free throw shooting contests. Refs in the pro games allow some incidental contact and let the players actually play solid defense. It's a contact sport, or should be.

Yesterday officiating team was probably the worst I have ever seen in my life, at all levels.. The NCAA really needs to start allowing these players to play, and stop calling every little hair movement foul..My voice is gone this morning from me screaming at the one official who called a foul of Yeboah, late in the 2nd half, when he was inbounding the ball and the refs called a foul on him, instead on the 2 defenders who almost mugged him.. Unbelievable...  This game took 15 minutes longer than most other games because of all the BS fouls these officials were calling..
