Umass is probably due for a win. Probably get a lead blow the lead. Mooney finds a way to win.

first prediction UR 70 Umass 64.

second prediction lose by three.
 
assuming St. Joe beats LaSalle we have to win at U Mass and hope for an upset at home against Davidson, (St. Joe should lose to VCU) Bottom 4.... how pathetic.

Please retitle to “Forecast for UMass” for consistency’s sake. I don’t want us deviating from our proven scheme.
 
Obviously hope we win this one but right now it feels like a lot of these games against other mediocre/bad A10 teams are coin flips. I could see a close game or a blowout either way.
 
Ah. Well...as long as it's working!

I sense a typical Mooney collapse. What does he care? He just cashes checks and pretends to care, and has powers that be in the Athletic Department and the big donor duped.

Let some poor sap of a team take him off our hands... please!
 
This is a game I have very high confidence in. Umass is a hideous, hideous team. Must win game, and the bump from the billboard and "protect the coach" sentiment should result in a blowout. Umass will have about 45 people at the game.

Richmond 79
Umass 59
 
UMass having major attendance problems. Will be playing in an empty gym. No energy, coming off an emotional loss. Minutemen by 12.
 
UMass is a true dumpster fire. Though somehow they beat Davidson up there. Perplexing. We should be able to run Oddo out there for 40 minutes and win by 10.

This is shaping up to be one of those moveable forces vs stoppable objects games. Just the type of basketball you want to be playing in March.

Beat Davidson without Pipkins...
 
That was quite surprising to say the least. Had to be a major Davidson letdown. Is he still out? Even if he plays just feel Mooney's team shoots well against this bad defensive Umass and wins.
Out 6 of the last 7 games, including the last one.
 
With the 10 seed firmly in our sights, I think we go in locked and loaded to UMass tomorrow. I would not want to be Umass.

Wow. Only averaging 2800ish a game. That will be us in a few years if we don't can Mooney and fast.

And now with a foul on 3 point shooter by Wojcik with 1 second to go in the half. Typical defense.
 
More posting on the UR curling contest thread which is more exciting than this basketball game.
 
I would start Julius the rest of the year over Wojick. The kid has checked out for some reason.
 
Golden and Cayo have 9 fouls to give. How about one of them playing some damn defense
 
I took very rough notes on defensive possessions in the first half.

My findings:
  • 29 possessions
    • 10 matchup zone possessions
      • Scored on 6 of 9 possesions; other one we fouled and went to man after the break
      • 14 points, 6-12 shooting
    • 13 man to man possessions
      • Scored on 8 of 13 possessions;
      • 17 points, 5-13 shooting; includes foul shots for fouls on Golden, 1 on Wojcik, 1 on Julius for lightly touching Holloway as he was making a layup
      • first 6 man to man possessions they scored 2 points; last 7, they scored on every one - 15 points
    • 3 straight zone possessions
      • Scored on 2 of 3 possessions, in other one, they missed a layup after offensive board
      • 3 points, 1-6 shooting, at least 4 offensive boards in these three possessions
    • 3 fast break/too quick to tell
      • 3 points, Scored on 1 of 3 possessions, a 3 pointer
I had other notes, most of them that Golden was horrible on a particular defensive possession. Particularly in the last 7 man-to-man possessions, where Holloway scored about 10 points.

This is rough, but my math actually matched up with the box score for shots taken, so I think I did ok.
