Slow start for the Miners tonight

 

[MinerManiac]

Nice block by Verhoeven

Verhoeven showing why he's in there - for defense.

Lathon has taken 3 shots so far. Terry must have gotten on him to be more agressive.

Nice kill dribble by Lathon. His go to move.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Nice to see Lathon scoring some points.

 

[MinerManiac]

Great response to UCI's 6-0 run to start the game.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Any streams? Firstrow has nuthin'.

Excellent work by Tydus so far.

I'm watching on CUSATV

 

[MineroFanatico]

Verhoeven with a huge defensive presence. Now Vila is in and UCI has easy entry for an uncontested layup.

 

[MinerManiac]

Well, we had a nice run, I guess that it's time to go cold.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Edwards has been careless with the ball tonight. Needs to get his damn head in the game.

 

[Lil_Train]

What happened to Lathon?

Teicher said it looked like reinjured a groin. He is back in now.

 

[MinerManiac]

After an amazing night last night, Boum is invisible tonight. In fact, after Lathon's early explosion and an early drive by Edwards, the backcourt has been mostly invisible tonight.

 

[MinerManiac]

We had that nice 15-0 run early in the game. Other than that Ryan we really haven't played well.

Yep. They are really overplaying Boum. Pretty good defense by Irvine. Edwards was particularly bad in the first half with 3 unforced turnovers.

[miner1liner]

It's always high drama wondering about all the why's, when's and why nots. With Boum's success last night Terry needs to figure out how to get him involved. Can't put our whole season on William's shoulders.

So I just went back and watched a couple highlight vids of Archie’s. It has to be a mental/confidence issue. I realize the competition at the HS level pales in comparison, however Archie had a decent shot from deep in HS. He had really good body control going to the hoop. He had a mid range game. Tonight he looked like a guy grabbed from the crowd for a halftime free throw contest. He banked his first one in and missed way long on his second. That travel on a half attempt at driving to the hoop...sigh. Just not sure what the hell is going on with him. Sure hope it gets fixed soon or sit the guy.

UCI won a NCAA tournament game last year, we’re lucky to be tied with them!

Terry continues to give him good minutes, so I assume he is doing positive things in practice. I agree, right now, he is a turnover waiting to happen on offense.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Lathon in double figures! Much-needed three.

 

[Lil_Train]

Bryson with three fouls. Ugh.

you joyless fvck

The good news is, Vila also has 3 fouls.

 

[MinerManiac]

When we had Vila and Verhoeven in at the same time it had to be the least offensively talented frontcourt we've had all year.

At least Tydus plays hard d and rebounds.

 

[MinerManiac]

Agreed. But I prefer he be in there with Williams or Efe rather than Vila.

 

[MinerManiac]

Wow, are the refs happy with the whistles right now.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Just like that.

 

[Lil_Train]

Getting killed on the boards.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Jeezuz Kryst! 10 point lead down to 1 in less than 2 minutes. We do not know how to put teams away.

 

[TxRdKiller]

Efi, Efi, Efi. Keep your control, young man.

This UC-Irvine team is pretty good.

 

[STexMiner]

We're just not mentally tough. We go on a run, get a cushion, and we just relax. It's been an issue all year.

In this case, we are getting bullied on the boards by a team that can really rebound.

Relax! This team is the best team since we had Caracter and Edwards is the best UTEP player since Hardaway!!

 

[miner1liner]

Williams has to play smart the way the refs are blowing whistle s
