Can I say that Sissoko was in there for 2 minutes only, but I thought he did well and I wouldn't mind seeing him for 2-5 more minutes

dude comes into a rock fight and calmly nails his first two FTs of the year.

Absolutely

What time does the game start?  Wait, I know the answer.  When we took the lead and now are pulling away....

[L Ron Studdard]

Having another ballhandler in Huntsberry is such a relief.

NT 44 ------- UMass 35

 

10:23 to go

 

Defense travels folks.  Minutemen have scored nine points this half.

exactly. And with the amount of fouls going around, I can see him having to come back in, so its good to see he was calm and collected in his first outing

He certainly looks the part. Dude is a unit.

He’s been fun to watch. Looking forward to watching him continue to develop and gel with the team.

Someone wake Abou up please man he’s sleep walking through this one… missing dunks, dropping passes.  

Aaron Scott is fun to watch on the glass, dude is always near the ball. 

I love Abou but it feels like he’s trying to be something he’s not this year. Going for thunderous dunks but missing because he doesn’t have any lift (last year he lays them in) and forcing shots that are out of his range or not really in his bag. He was a damn good player last year. That’s Abou. Just be Abou.

Geez Cross is a hell of a player.

[L Ron Studdard]

If Huntsberry had put that down we would've been seeing that clip all season.

He should consider ditching the smalltime-pot-dealer-living-in-his-parents-basement look though.

NT 45 ------- UMass 40

 

7:20 to go

 

There are probably more foul shots than field goals at this point.

[outoftown]

Cross picks up his fourth with 7:20 to go. NT also has some of its bigger guys in trouble, but Cross with 4 or fouling out is definitely a BIG deal for what UMass wants to do.

yep. Could be a huge factor as we play this out.  Probably will be.

[greenminer]

Holy windmill, Jones! Where has that been all year?

[BillySee58]

We are 3-22 from three. Just terrible. Free throws are great, but it’s not sustainable ball to bank on 25 points from the line.

[outoftown]

Jones fouled out. In comes Stone who also already has 4. NT up 8 with 5 min to go.

[greenminer]

Rubin is done.

[Quoner]

This may be the worst officiated continuous 10 minutes of basketball for everyone on the court I have seen in at least 15 years. 

[greenminer]

Huntsberry needs to trim these mid range attempts.  Shoot from 3 or work your way to the basket, my friend.

PxP talking about some of the fans having to be held back from the refs? Not sure if I heard that right, but nobody is happy today.

[Matt from A700]

The slacking by the scoreboard operator is annoying.

[L Ron Studdard]

Stone! Bang!
