Musketeer Madness

Has anyone ever seen a team play defense where all 5 players were in the paint virtually the whole time?????? That was insane... If our shot was going down this would have been a blow out... UMass's plan was working at first but the 2nd half was a different story... A win is a win and the conference... Now lets go beat the Billikens!

That was UMass's MO to beat Xavier tonight; pack it in and dare our backcourt to knock down the 3s. GW did it to a tee 2 weeks ago, but Xavier was just as effective against UMass on the defensive end. They kept milking down the shot clock to limit possessions throughout the game.

If UMass had an O game they might have won this game but they score about as much as DC Muskie.

Ugh - dismal offensive effort, but as you write a win is a win.

One would think that after about seven games XU might try something new to beat the "pack-it-in" approach by opponents.

Weird how the offense just suddenly goes stagnate.

Kudos to Jerri Taylor in the game for continuing to fire away and shoot herself out of the 0-for-10 first half.

Hester took a pretty good shot at the end of the first half, if she goes down, the perimeter scoring game would be reduced to Tudy and Jerri. Aly has shown a little promise, so she'd get her shot in the rotation.

Hang on, ride might get a little bumpy with Rhode Island, Temple, Dayton and Charlotte coming up.
