Maybe we need this guy to motivate the team to go on a run and win the whole f*&%ing thing.

I believe this guy sold me tires a few weeks ago

Anyway... The line opened at -4 and is up to -6.5. Does anyone have any intell as to why?

Noah will torch us for 25+ points so maybe one of the starting 5 is out for UMass, can't find anything online though.

Gimme UMASS all day on that spread.

Noah has only played 11 games so far. He has not played since Jan. 11. Assuming he doesn't play against us it's one of the reasons I'm optimistic about tonight.

So we can only win when opponents have a guy out. Haaa sad but true

Conversely we’ve been without one of our best players for all but 15 minutes of conference play so far. I know that doesn’t fit your narrative but …

Loyer was out for Davidson's home game vs vcu. I figured the rams would blow them out with their best player/pg missing. Really close game that vcu won by 2 in last minute.

vcu somehow managed to win without hitting even one 3-point shot. Their offense has been doo-doo since they beat us, but they just are so effective at uglying up games and winning with defense and timely baskets.

Timely baskets? I don't understand the term.

They're in Richmond. Uglying sh*t up comes natural.

I would like to see the stats on Cooper’s shooting % on the out-of-bounds play where he gets the inbounds pass in the corner and Chuck’s up a three. If it’s higher than 20% I would be shocked.

 

[Where's the party?]

Just let JF run the point - enough of this f-ing around. He needs to touch the ball every time down.

 

[Falco]

Holy JF!

 

[mkaufman1]

another game that’ll probably be a 3 point win or loss, all determined by which team does less dumb shit.

Maybe I should just always predict this lol

Justyn Fernandez. Enough said.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

So I guess playing JF more would not mean we're tanking then, right?

 

[GreenLantern]

Winner!

He’s the only one who needs more minutes right now. Dinkins had 3 fouls and a couple turnovers in what felt like 30 seconds of game time.

 

[Falco]

Jf got me hyped! I wish the this board was a little more active tonight lol

Just got home from the game. I LOVE watching Fernandez play. He is so athletic, makes 3's, and is now driving hard to the hoop. He is going to be fun to watch for what I hope will be several years.

So glad to hear that. Hoping KE can bring in a bunch of young like-talented players.
Maybe use the portal only sparingly.

No, according to one guy on here it's called loser s--- mentality.
