hart up 8 with 1min left.

SB cant hit a foul shot.
joyce and gerrity fouled out within a min of each other.  SB forcing the ball inside to warney, drawing more fouls.  warney is starting to hit them.  tight game.

SB weathered the storm. For a while it did not look like UMBC was gonna miss. Good games from Walker and Woodhouse…I feel that Woodhouse is the key. If he can knock down the open three's it makes teams pay the price for doubling Warney. Nice help from the bench. Good D from Kam and a big three from Nyama. Now we need SB to hit 70% from the line for the next two games...

I agree with you on everything except Walker. Walker cant shoot to save his life. 3 for 10 at the charity stripe, seriously dude?. I can do better shooting lefty, and I am a righty. McGrew had a bad night but, cant get down on him because of one bad game.. What can we say about Warney and Tre. Those two stepped up to the plate like seniors should. Good for them!!!!

Walker was 5 for 7 from the field, had 13 points and played good shut-down D in the second half. Also, he played under control in the half court offense. I don't claim to be a shooting coach but it seems like he rushes his foul shots.

@ laxation good call…who do you have in the semi's? I'm planning on putting my nest egg on whoever you like in the NH-Vermont game. What could possibly go wrong?

Hammer, you're too hard on Walker. He is who he is - an All-Defensive Team player for whom you take the good with the bad. I actually thought tonight was the team's best night in terms of shot selection, and for Walker by far. He took only one three, and did what I think he does best, which is drive the ball in the halfcourt set. He's effective getting to the rack when he's in control (i.e. not dribbling in transition). The fouling at the end was brutal, I'll give you that.

You're right on with Woodhouse though. We need him in double digits on Monday and then, hopefully, when everything's in the middle of the table next weekend. Also, he's a calming force for a team that can be frantic and lack flow offensively.

Enormous night from Jameel. They obviously had no answer.

The big question is: where was Rayshaun and is he OK? Seventeen minutes in a back-and-forth game like this makes no sense to me. I see he started the second half then disappeared aside from a one minute spell around the four-minute mark.

Or maybe the bigger question is: can we not throw up brick after brick at the line on Monday? Total abomination tonight and a major cause for concern.

I thought the bench was great. Huge effort from Nyama playing major minutes down the stretch. There was a time when we were down 59-56 and we have Nyama-Thrower-Mitchell-Sturdivant-Walker on the floor. I said to my buddy "who the heck's going to take the shot here?" Nyama drills a three to tie it, and after a UMBC make, Walker banked in a runner in the lane. Ty, DeShaun and Kam did what we needed them to do - mainly defend and give the first five a breather.

I had the Albany game on my phone the whole night. What an incredible turn of events. Let's not have a hiccup ourselves here.

>>>The big question is: where was Rayshaun and is he OK?<<<

UMBC created a game that Ray could not play. I think we saw that in the first half with him trying to chase down Darley, unsuccessfully. By playing four guards/motion guys on the outside and with the 3's falling, it was simple math: UMBC scores 3, SBU scores 1 or 2.

Ray could have had a monster game and it might not have mattered.

Credit UMBC for working a plan that gave them their only chance to win, and it almost worked. Credit Pikiell for adjusting in the second half. I think Ray's fine, although I think too we'll see a similar game from Hart on Monday.

Fun game to watch last night, obviously too close for my liking but great experience.

My thoughts:

Obviously Will Darley had a game for the record books- that's as good a shooting performance as I've ever seen in my life, Steph Curry-esque. As somebody who played a lot of hoops, when you're in the zone everything is falling and Darley was in the zone. Pikiell smartly realized McGrew was a horrible defensive mismatch for Darley and took him out- Walker on Darley was a different story. Also when talking about UMBC, I again have to emphasize how good Jairus Lyles is- phenomenal ballhandler with a knack to get to the hoop. He's my odds on favorite to be AE POY next year. He's a high major talent IMHO.

Now onto the Seawolves. Walker had his best game in a while for me- yes he is just an awful FT shooter (who isn't on this team) but his rebounding and defense were game changers. Woodhouse hit some huge 3s and we are gonna need that long-range shooting to move on. Warney was an absolute monster this game- he just put the game on his shoulders.

Most importantly, I hate to say I told you so but I'm a huge Roland Nyama homer. He's such an athlete that it bothered me that he wasn't seeing playing time- this was the first game without his knee brace so I assume he had some residual discomfort. He was just flying all over the court- remember that one play he made on Lyles during a fast-break? He also sank that huge 3. He's honestly a better player than Sekunda in the all-around game- he rebounds, plays good defense, and has a good long-range jumper. I expect to see the primary rotation be for the next couple of games: He absolutely looks healthy and should see significant playing time. Remember, he was very productive as a freshman last year as well. He played with confidence today and I look forward to seeing more.
