In Game The TBP Official In Game Thread: Bulls at UMass Minutemen

[Shockley3333]

Knox continues to struggle but his confidence to keep shooting is a good sign. He obviously thinks he can hit those at a consistent rate.

[Cat941]

We've gone cold shooting the ball.   24% shooting per Jim on the radio.  

[Cat941]

Bulls have 12 fouls so far.   Think that UMass has double digit fouls too.   Bulls down 3 under 2 minutes left in the first half.  

Bulls make a three.

Fun to watch us run zone (3-2) after it was previously used to stymie our outside-oriented offense.

Surprisingly,  I think any positive results this year will come from Placer. He seems to be the most consistent and has that penetration leaner in the lane down pretty well.

As the announcer mentioned, "veteran move." Meanwhile the worst 3 pt shooter on the team continues to fire away and miss. Reid continuing to recklessly drive to the basket and getting blocked or throwing up shots to avoid being blocked. If he can learn how to control his drives, like Placer, he could be a great scorer.

The biggest anomaly is why the best shooter on the team (Youngblood) is shooting like the worst shooter on the team.

Maybe because he seemed to not show any effort in the last game. I like that Jones is seeing action.

[panchosanchez99]

We are still in this game because UMass is missing (uncharacteristically) badly as well. We need to shoot it better. Go with Hines, Jones, Pryor, Placer, and Youngblood; maybe we'll have a chance.

i'm at the game at UMass it's absolutely torture to watch USF on the offensive end remarkable really that they can only make six shots in the first half

they look worse in person than they do on TV
