OT: Rahsool (UMass-Fordham)

[Fishy]

It’s a glorious mess of a game - third overtime, nine players have already fouled out, 120 free throws(!) - but Rahsool has 44 points for UMass tonight.

They’re down 117-114 midway through the third OT.

 

[Fishy]

Update: 46 points.

118-118.

 

[Fishy]

120-118 UMass.

Wildly entertaining.

Now, onwards to SMU-UVa which is tied at 45 with about a minute to go.

He’s really figured it out this year and was pretty good last year. May end up being All-Conference and has been hot the past 6 games.

 

[alphasigko]

Good for him! I remember his self confidence when he committed to be a Husky. Glad that he has turned it around by believing in himself!

Wonder if he tries transferring back up to a high major for next year (and, no, I do not mean UConn).

This is his last year, same class as Samson

Unless this rule passes

I thought they were allowed an extra year if the graduated on time.

 

[ToolzieFan]

I’m happy for Sool. Seems like a wild game!

 

[Hoophound]

I really thought he was going to be our next great PG coming in. He was a pure floor general with offensive skills in high school. Glad he’s getting his day in the sun.

Another recruiting miss... Man, this staff. /s

 

[Waquoit]

More proof that players get better.

 

[Chosen]

Good luck Rashool

 

[Palatine]

Sometimes it takes some time.

Congrats to the young man.

Guys he also puked on the floor during the game, went to the bench grabbed a barrel and puked more. Went back in the game and ripped it up again. Good for him

Myself, I always feel better after a good ralph.

But how was his defense?

Good to see him finding success.

 

[80shusky]

But can he guard a chair?
Good for him! Happy he found success!

 

[UCLJ0211]

How old is he now?

 

[Kolumbo]

 

[runner11]

Wow maybe you were right that we shouldn’t have taken Newton and Diarra over Floyd and ‘Sool. Sorry I can’t help myself.

 

[WrenchFan69]

How old is he now?

True senior so presumably 21 or 22

 

[Mr. French]

changed to #7 ... that makes all the difference right there.

 

[auror]

He had a brutal stretch in the non-con with 8 straight (and 10/11) sub 100 ORTG games, but is certainly playing better now.

 

[businesslawyer]

Not worth starting a new thread for, but when UMass plays URI at some point, Diggins will be going up against Javonte Brown, who now starts for Rhodey. Was it ten years ago he played at UConn? He now starts at center, and looks like a decent starter from the little I saw of them against GW earlier this year.

His volume is pretty wild for someone who is shooting 36% (32% from 3). He is putting up 14.6 shots per game (AK leading us with 11).

 

[Waquoit]

I root for the guy. He seemed like a good teammate when he was here.

 

[Scrutineer]

His volume is pretty wild for someone who is shooting 36% (32% from 3). He is putting up 14.6 shots per game (AK leading us with 11).

His last six games have been a major turnaround from his last three years and the earlier season games this year.
Good for him but it's doubtful he'd be playing any more than AN if he was here this year.
Side note: when I searched for Diggins' statistics, up came Skyler...
had to put in R Diggins. She's still haunting us..........

We played URI in an exhibition game 3 months ago and Javonte played great. 16 and 10 on 5/7 shooting and 6/7 from the line.
