Ew, there's a game tonight? Gross.

It’s one of UMBC exhibitions 😂

I've seen comments and heard talk about the exhibition games. This will be my first time seeing the team play this season so I'm looking forward to seeing what they look like. Cards get win #1 tonight. I hope anyway.

 

[shadow force]

Hoping they win this one for Denny Crum.

I don’t understand how you start BHH after what he’s shown throughout his career, let alone the two exhibitions.

Only thing I can think of is that BHH practices really well or that Payne really wants to get him going somehow.

But I totally agree with you he hasn't shown anything even in the 2 exhibition games.

 

[shadow force]

Announcers just said BHH has been very good in practice

 

[shadow force]

Some bad turnovers already

 

[UofLouisville]

Think evans missed the oop from Clark there. Ended in dunk anyway

 

[UofLouisville]

Actually seeing some parameter passing and posting up. Color me shocked

 

[jtcraw19]

So far, they’re playing more aggressive, getting paint touches, some good things.

But the glaring issues to me are still, as they have been, containing the ball on defense and creating on offense, either via the dribble or the pass.

Seem to run a lot of action to get to an iso post-up. So far, for 3 different players. But none of them have resulted in a bucket. Not patient enough with the ball or too physical backing guys down in BHH’s case.

Like the action though. If we aren’t going to be guard heavy and beating guys off the dribble, you better be able to score with your back to the basket.

 

[jtcraw19]

There is James with a nice face-up play!

 

[UofLouisville]

Need to start seeing some parameter d. UMBC getting wide open threes

 

[jtcraw19]

Shooting seems to be an issue as well. Also something we called for more of via the portal.

Lot of guys missing long, so just hoping it’s adrenaline and they settle in.

 

[shadow force]

Lack of outside shooting really hurting Csrds

 

[UofLouisville]

Doesn't seem like cards shooting 50% from field but they are

 

[OldhamCard335]

Well, you know, according to coach we aren’t as talented as this team.

 

[jtcraw19]

These refs are a joke, my goodness.

 

[shadow force]

Defense also a concern

 

[jtcraw19]

0 made 3’s and 50% from the line on 10 attempts.

 

[shadow force]

Cards are more aggressive today and getting to the foul line but you gotta make them

 

[Tenncard]

I can’t discern a single offensive play. This is pure street ball from both teams.

 

[UofLouisville]

They sure aren't showing talent at the FT line. 50% is slightly below not good

 

[jtcraw19]

The last thing you should do if you’re having trouble stopping dribble drives is go to a ****ing press.

 

[achilles992000]

BHH needs to hit the bench.

 

[shadow force]

Ugly shooting and bad defense

 

[jtcraw19]

BHH needs to hit the bench.

He brings absolutely nothing. The rotations in general have been ridiculous, we’ve played like 10 guys in 15 minutes in like 8 different combinations.

 

[Tenncard]

Our guys don’t seem to understand the process of winning.

 

[shadow force]

Cards defense nonexistent. UMBC getting whatever they want right now.

 

[jtcraw19]

It’s crazy that a single half isn’t even over yet and it’s like collectively, the team and fans know the season is already over.

 

[BPGhost]

Our guys don’t seem to understand the process of winning.

Well that’s because that understanding starts from the top.

 

[shadow force]

Feels like Cards are going to lose this one

 

[TheRealVille]

I know the Cards defense is not where it needs to be, but come on now. UMBC is not missing shots. They look like a top 10 team. It's unreal!

 

[UofLouisville]

Well that’s because that understanding starts from the top.

Took me a couple of minutes to clear my windpipe of beer after reading that. If you can't laugh you'll cry and I just can't bring myself to cry over this exhibition of awful coaching.

 

[achilles992000]

sit BHH for good. Okorafor already 6 points

 

[shadow force]

Okorafor showing more heart and effort than BHH ever has

 

[TheRealVille]

Cards defense nonexistent. UMBC getting whatever they want right now.

Yeah, but they're making tough shots too. All these mid major teams see a golden opportunity to win at the Yum and their confidence is soaring.
