Bay Area Billiken Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 1 minute ago, Pistol said: Inbounding the ball on the offensive end with under 2 minutes to play, he shouldn't be in. If you wind up with a defensive mismatch next time, so be it. All Mitchell did was score in his face the whole half, anyway. I wouldn't have Bell in there ahead of French in that situation, even with the Hack-a-French that UMass used twice at crunch time. I would play Hargrove, if he was available to play. Hargrove came in briefly for Perkins at end of first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 With the opponent shooting 1-and-1, down 2 with 40 seconds left and not fouling...I’m just floored at how bad a decision that is. Did Travis think we were only down one?!? Serious question. I’m at a loss for words. Billboy1, moytoy12 and mrjoelabs like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseOfTheBillikens Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I second the Hargrove on Mitchell thing. Would of rather seen that. Bell couldn't hang with Mitchell. Tbh nobody could. He beat us tonight. We missed some open shots at the end of the game. You win if you make shots. You lose if you miss shots. Now y'all can commence storm about the season being over. See you guys Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I remember rational Oklahoma State and UMass fans coming here when Ford was hired. They said “he’ll get the talent but lose a handful of games each year that they shouldn’t” mrjoelabs likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has is our first or second best player. You aren't gonna take him out. Hate to break it to ya. Plus bell couldn't hang with mitchell Has is our 3rd best player.

3star_recruit Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Our guards threw the game away with turnovers when we were up double digits and that was opening that Tre Mitchell needed. Great performance and showed tonight why he should be the preseason POY going into next season. Jacobs, who was having a nice game, got shook up on a 2nd half collision and didn't return. Perkins and Goodwin were scoring easily tonight. If we hadn't spent so much of the 2nd half throwing the ball away, they would have scored 25 apiece.

I disagree, we went to the tournament just last year and headed into this season picked to finish 7th. Next year is the year Fords seat could begin to slowly heat up if he under performs.

They were killers. SLU finished with 14 turnovers to UMass' 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseAndGrind Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I'm pretty heated about that loss but Ford is not on the hot seat - and doesn't deserve to be. The program is in really good shape. That was just the dumbest in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of our best FT shooters and would've had fresh legs and fouls to give at the other end. French was giving us nothing at that point and they fouled him off the ball to put him on the line. It just can't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I actually can't believe the TO tally was 14 to 11. It felt like 20 or close to it. Maybe because so many of them were really soft or even unforced turnovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 This is the fourth game this season where I've just felt disgusted afterwards. Davidson and the Duquesne games (especially the second one) were the others. Probably not a healthy response, just saying.

Gift wrapping a team 12-14 points on the road is a disaster waiting to happen. Pistol likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
