Thanks to @Pikapppatri8 it seems JMU realized our Pgs can’t handle pressure

JMU's coaches are getting scouting reports from some guy on a message board with an anal fetish?

 

[Quentin Daniels]

As bad as we seemed to have started, just a 1 pt. game.

 

[KAOriginal]

5 3s? Already.

Thats like 4 more than we ever scored under Paulsen in his entire tenure.

 

[MasonSAE4]

Going for a home run on every possession. All 3’s and alley oops.

They are just throwing up a 2-3 zone. We need to drive to the inside and draw fouls

... seems we got a little too confident after that UMD win... need to settle down... JMU playing us tough for sure

Why do that when you can take a 3 on every possession?

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Getting ugly.

Makes you think a bit differently about my basketball IQ now....

 

[polepino]

missed shots, turnovers, c'mon guys. JMU is not going to give up their home court easy.

 

[GSII]

Jmu wants it more. At large is only way they get into dance.

Yes they are - we are making more mistakes than they are.

KE needs to tell them to calm down and keep driving to the inside and draw fouls. Then the shots will come. I would rathe drive to the post and miss a shot then send up a missed three.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Twelfth turnover. WTF!

Definitely have too big eyes for the three tonight. I don't mind open threes but lets get into the paint.

We kind of smelled it --- coming off the Maryland win - probably a bit tired and not coming in with the energy as usual. I hope KE rips them all a new one. They need to penetrate teh zone and go to the post. Only go for threes when necessary.

 

[GMU79]

TOs have GOT to be fixed, or we will lose lots of winnable games this year.

 

[polepino]

Halftime reset.

 

[GMUgemini]

No one scored in the last two minutes. A lot of turnovers and fouls. Woof.

Only down 5. Easily can take this in the second half if they work the paint, defend, and handle the pressure.

Agreed - but we are seeing more in this game than most.

We'll see how English makes adjustments during the half to counter the defensive pressure by JMU. No inside game at all. Right now we are a turnover machine.
