I did. It sucked. Doesn't matter if you shoot better than 60% from the line, which even women's teams can do.

When you foul a lot ("conservative" estimates calculate 23 "legit" foul calls against LSU) and shoot poorly from the line, you take the game out of your own hands and have only yourself to blame for a close loss.

I get what you're trying to do, but you're being intentionally obtuse at this point. If JOB was in the game (like he should have been), those missed FTs are less important because we have our best player scoring points. That's what you are intentionally forgetting.

Don't even try. He's one of "those" guys. I can't blame the players for fouling when so many calls in that game were questionable, and it was pretty obvious that Williams was going to the goal just to fall down and get the all.

It's like in the Mighty Ducks when he says just take a fall and get the call.

I'm not forgetting anything. I saw the same refs you saw. My opinion of their performance is the same as yours.

But...

Missed free throws count.
You thinking the refs sucked doesn't count.

I don't know, but the 4th foul on JOB was beyond horrible. Not only did JOB not touch the guy, the guy stuck his arm out into JOB. HORRIBLE call that really changed the game with that much time.

Mickey is going to be a monster.

Damn I with Martin wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Stringer is a Lil' Beast.

Hickey is good, but damn I wish he had given it up on that 3 on 1

Quarterman will be fine and brings something to this team that we will need as the season progresses.


I'm excited to see how this team grows as the year goes on.

And let's give Umass some credit, that wasn't some Schmo team. Umass should be a tourney caliber team this year.
