Ouch
Thats all you can say. I checked in on the BC score with about 3 minutes to go in the half and knew the game was over. The game was not on so I have little analysis to offer. What we do know is that we are lacking in the backcourt. Rice and Haynes are the only guards we have and neither is a pure point. They will have to learn by being thrown into the fire. The fire however should not be Vermont. Vermont has proven they are more than a capable mid-major but losing and getting blown out are not the same thing.One thing about quality mid-majors is they generally have solid guard play. There is a bigger reservoir of six footers than six eight guys and all those kids are not going to get high Division 1 offers. I bet Vermont controlled the tempo and set up good half court sets that lead to open looks. With BC losing two front court starters to suspension, any advantage was negated thus placing more pressure on the backcourt to get the team in the correct sets. Thats my best guess as to what may have happened.
Hinnant may not have been flashy but he always got us into our flex offense and was a leader on the floor. Too bad there is not a stat for productive half court sets.
Has anyone heard some of the specifics regarding Kelvin Sampson's punishment for recruiting
violations? Sampson, the former Oklahoma coach, has taken over for the Hoosiers of Indiana.
For one year, he is not allowed to call recruits or leave campus to contact them. OK, I get that. What I do not understand is that he is still allowed to text them. Recruits are also allowed to call him. So, he can text a recruit to get a return phone call. I bet the decision makers at the NCAA do not even know what a text message is. I doubt Myles Brand is texting his boys while watching games at home.
