selected amateur "highlights" were hard to find last night...there are even a few selected "frustrations" included...
any fan who's been watching UR basketball for a while knew that there had to be a game like this one out there somewhere...last night was it...after watching 12 straight in person wins at the Robins Center the way we played and were beaten last night was surprising and almost shocking...this team had spoiled us with their play that consistently had found ways to win...no matter what we did last night we couldn't find a way!...the Minutemen just whipped us...
I hope the game was an anomaly...now the team has the challenge of rebounding from the adversity of this loss and the VCU loss...as several posters have already pointed out the Rams, and now the Minutemen, have shown the A-10 the blueprint of how to defeat us...Mooney acknowledged postgame that UMass played extremely physical and disrupted us...he stated that we are usually able to compensate with crisp ball movement etc....we'll see if the Spiders can adjust to what they are likely to face each week...
the schedule gives the squad George Washington on Saturday...the revolt is not going so well...they've lost their last seven...I hope the coaches and players have learned enough from this tough spell to adjust strategically, mentally and physically to whatever they face on the court...
unexpectedly battling for a top tier finish in the A-10 was tremendous fun and entertainment in the first half...nothing would be much more disappointing than to watch it fade away in the second half of the schedule...battle to keep it going!
Go Spiders!
