glazedandconfused Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 UMass better be game-planning for an improved Perkins performance this time around. Was 4-13 from the field and fouled out in 25 minutes in the last game vs Mass. Thinking we’ll see another 20 point night from him again tonight.

almaman Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I wish one could pick the time when on jury duty. I kind of don't mind doing it but having Uncle Sam or his local siblings pluck you out of your regular life with no real warning sucks.

almaman Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 almost all folks these days seem to be done in a few days, but the possibility of getting stuck on a OJ like trial that goes forever is always hanging over you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 MBM'ers talking about the key factors in tonight's game brings to mind the Dr. Frank Ryan quote when he was quarterback for the Cleveland Browns against my NY Giants so many moons ago. Chris Schenkel, announcer, asked Dr. Frank what would be the biggest factor in the game; Dr. Frank:"The final score" . He went on to get his PHD in Mathematics.

Within the first hour I am part of the jury selection process. I was fairly far down the line, so I figured there would be no chance I would get selected. Well, I ended up being selected. The trial and deliberation took us past midnight on Thursday, so it was a long and rather brutal week. The case itself was an armed robbery, but we could not reach a verdict, so it was a mistrial. I think the guy has another jury trial coming up this spring, so I will be interested to see what a new jury decides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glazedandconfused Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 https://dailycollegian.com/2020/02/umass-mens-basketball-looking-to-adjust-for-rematch-with-saint-louis/ Couple of quotes from McCall ahead of tonight's game. Nothing earth shattering but: - McCall says Umass has had some success with playing some zone defense and could see that tonight depending on flow of the game - Said down the stretch we could see some Hack a French...says they wanted to do it last time vs us. - McCall also talks about how Umass is still motivated by trying to get a (single) bye in the conference tourney.
