Basketball **LIVE game thread: Rutgers-UMass**

I HATE our last possessions of the 1st half. They are so freaking lazy. We just stand around and someone shots a 3 off the dribble. Why do we just throw possessions away??

Young got a pretty open 3 pointer. For 80% of teams in America an open 3 pointer is a good possession.

We're in the 20%.
 
Can anybody hit a godforsaken three on this freaking team?! Geezus, our outside shooting is horrendous. And the ones we take don't even seem to be close.

Meanwhile, Weeks is throwing up 35 footers that bank in...

Weeks 5-6
Rest of UMass team 5-21

I'd say put Mathis on him, but he's a liability on the offensive end. Gonna have to be a combination of Mathis, Young, Baker.
 
That was a nice break the press. Ball never hit the court.
 
Young just does stupid sh*t. Why take that to the hoop against two guys up 15.
 
Great look from Young. Mathis can't make a layup after Yeboah can't make a lay up. Absurd number of misses under the basket

Defensive rebounding has been spotty today. Lot's a second chances for UMass.
 
Young with a little room to maneuver through the press, takes it to the hole for a flush. RU up 65-48 with 5:46 left.
 
Young has positive qualities too, he needs to continue working on his game and he can be a valuable part of the rotation as a high energy defensive guy capable of helping on O, too. Eight points so far today, three boards, two dimes, a steal, and one turnover.
