St. Bonaventure 11/19

It's Michael Huger. Agee started, got 2 fouls, relegated to Siberia

Good lord. How many more years of Huger do we still have?

Given his love of stealing money from his alma mater we'll probably find out Moose gave him a double secret second post-covid extension for smiling a lot.

I think he still has 2 contract years after this one but not certain. Tough to keep tabs on when they keep giving him extensions and doing so behind closed doors.

I switched over to the BG women when the men went to the half. They put up 34 in Q2 and lead 51-32. I'm not quite ready to say this but I might lean toward saying the women are more fun to watch than the men. Pressure 'D' forced 17 turnovers.

BG men are getting killed on the boards 23-13 this game. I think they did much better the first 3 games.

Yeah we rebounded really well in our wins. Not so much against WSU. Feels like that's mostly on Agee for being super active and annoying in the paint. Even when he doesn't get the boards he keeps the ball live rather than giving easy ones up.

Not at all surprised we got killed on the glass with him on the bench most of the half.

Earlier I posted about Ayers not doin the little things. I think I was wrong. He gets tons of rebounds and on a recent play it was clear Agee had an easy post and he basically stared him down until Agee realized it and got in the post.

These refs are bad. This game could end up in fights.

He looks like a guy that could be a really good MAC player for a real coach. Even if we just ran some 2 man game with him and Curtis. Instead we ask Ayers to just go get buckets on his own.

Bonnies refused to keep sinking to our level of muck, started hitting their open 3s, and this one is a boat race.

All it takes is one or two stretches of hot play by our opponents and we'll get routed. We refuse to play offense.

I think it’s absolutely fair to say at this point that the women are more fun and more interesting to watch than the men. They have competent coaching, they play hard, they run an actual offense. They look like they want to be out there.

We’re down 17 now, by the way.

Ayers and Curtis got hot enough to get it back to 10-12 but we don't have enough.

Lost 81-68.

Nothing good to say about that second half. We aren’t good.

Yep. We are very not good.

We scored some points to get up to the high 60s because the Bonnie's let up once they were up 20. Ayers and Curtis were able to score some layups and the pace picked up. At no point were they ever in danger of letting us truly back in the game.

The frustrating part is we yet again have some new players who look like they could be worth while pieces to a good MAC team and we'll never see them in position. If you actually ran plays Curtis and Ayers could be all Mac capable scorers. Agee is the type of guy who averages 10&8 and annoys the piss out of every opponent. Instead it's like we just roll the ball out there and see what happens.
