We got off to a good start, making the extra pass and getting good looks but then we fell into over penetration, 1on 1 play and careless turnovers. We also made silly fouls on defense. Our lead was cut from 23 to 10. Adams picking up his 3rd foul had something to do with it but not the whole story. Adams played well on offense - inconsistent on defensive effort.
The good theme was we got off to a good start - remember last year? Christian Vital also demonstrated he can get better shots in the flow of the game rather than through 1 on 1 play.
I thought Gilbert played well, he did not force things, facilitated and made some shots. His defense was good.
Smith played poorly, tried to do too much and did not pull it off. Rivera and Noel looked good for UMass Lowell.
Chief was hoping to see more explosion with Josh this year around the basket. In this game he has several inches on his defender but still goes up weak too often, he did make a few good moves but needs consistency. Yakwe has more explosion but less skill on his move and shot. No doubt about it, we need Bigs.
For those who see Sid as the savior, Chief thinks you need to talk to Danny Hurley.
Our defense had too many lapses later in the shot clock, especially on the perimeter.
Probably good we got AZ coming up - we need to measure ourselves again against better competition. The Bigs need to step up. Cobb in particular.
Chief does have a concern with all this 4 guard stuff since we will need to play at least two Bigs at a time against major schools.
Too many empty seats at Gampel - how about banning exams, paper due dates and quizzes the day after a Gampel night game?
Leaving Gampel a minute early, hence sending now.
