Massachusetts, final game of the regular season, the UMass
Minutemen getting set to take on the st. Bonaventure
Bonnie's, as you welcome, you inside
the moment Center, good to be with you. Everyone Mike Corey
along with former st. Bonaventure great professional.
And NBA coach, David Venable, good to be with you here today.
My friend, as we get set for see today that a minute man
great to be here
with you Mike. Thank you.
You and I were just up in Olean, New York, your
former team in the bodies last weekend
getting to win
over st. Joe's. 89 is 76. You ask coming off the loss at
Duquesne 88. 279 underway here today from a
yes
Bonnie's starting out man-to-man and UMass ball
straight inside and right off the bat, it's wilden's. Lebec
who puts it in for UMass and here's your starting five today
for the bodies,
we got Kara, Luke
started 2.0 Banks,
Moses flowers, Ian pharaoh and said Vinnie,
lean it out for the body.
How about the career day that Banks had last weekend?
He went crazy and then
you know for him is actually the second time that I've seen
him play live and only in New York and he's had more than 30
points each game. So he's looking for a big win tonight.
First shot of the way is good. It's Moses flowers. He had
a good game as well
to he's liable. To light it up from the outside. Also check
the body's defense.
Speaking, the inside, here's wedding. If he goes back out
the tanks at NBA range, 3 is Off the Mark to the left and
another offensive board venting. Here's John Farrell
for the three and that's what he does for the bunnies. He
stretches the floor. He's one
of the best three-point Shooters
Farrell working to get it in for venting,
Denny
got it over. Content shot, very nice turnaround hook shot. You
know, you don't see,
you'll see as many post-ups
all the time, but vending definitely
can handle himself, down low, great footwork.
So the turnover numbers for for say bodies and three for UMass
so far in this first half,
back inside preventing double-team comes immediately.
I'm shocked that they doubled him down. They would he shoot
his out here, and there it is. You call him as you write
persons, not one of those better Shooters. Exactly that
came directly from Banks possession and he was wide open
for the three. Yeah, and the bodies do a great job of moving
around the perimeter. They know
the wedding is a problem down low.
Oh, that's a problem as RJ Louise, takes it in and throws
it down 810. What it does, is it continued to beat up on each
other and it makes it really tough
for any of the other teams to get into the tournament. But,
you know, they just talks about the parity in the league and
then the quality to play a brush or jeggings knocks down
a three ball you masses on a 14-nothing run out of here's
Moses. Flowers with it also adds a
few unforced errors as well at last play,
was a sixth turnover of the game for st. Bonaventure,
the previous possession, and flowers, takes it in. Finally,
get it to. And that's what they disobey have to do. I mean,
I talk to about it. Little bit earlier,
look to get a stop, get out and transition. Maybe try to get
an easy basket. Without the defense being set that ends
a 14-0 thing. You mash running that bucket right there, but
the three ball back the other way. By the weeks, want to make
this
a little bit better. Situation is another turnover by Steel,
take it away, here by RJ Louise, fights the cutter, look
back at, he throws it down, Justine's, great player.
That's a great story.
Always remember that, that's for sure.
It's one of my favorite years, 1995, I don't know why it just
it was a transition. It was leaving High School coming here
to college. Right. You know that and here's a jumper that
goes up it in.
It's always like oh last thing I do when I'm traveling for
whatever reason are people saying what he did the last
thing but it's like I look at the Weather Channel after that
guy. Should I bring a jacket? What do I need to get this
right? And
I probably should put that more up to the top and we'll have
that's
exactly.
big Chopper here by UMass and Keon Thompson who puts it in
with now twenty six point, four seconds remaining
Thanks. Three balls. Got it? What a shot from Terrell Banks.
We're tied at 10:29 is chiral. Looks first field goal today,
just four points, the other two for the free throw line. Here's
a three ball diggings. Yes,
Figure some things out. Maybe they may be able to make some
shots here
pretty ball, that's cross and that prostrates it. You mess
love to see that. Love to see that. If he's able to make some
outside shots, they definitely
got a chance to take control of this. Game
is
so far here in this game flowers.
That's another one. Yes, and all the documents and links to
the vet.
Nothing. Mishandled basketball UMass is doing a great job,
contesting passes, not letting anything get in easily great
player. Back in the day, the sun trying to follow in your
footsteps, man. Kevin Vanderpool, and you guys are
just
back at your alma mater. It's about make sure last weekend.
He had his official visit, how did it go? It went great.
I mean, you know, it was nostalgic committed, there he
is.
Acting like he thinks he may be able to take me 10 when he
don't know what type of defensive player I would, but
it was great. It was too salty for me, being in the building
on campus with him.
Showing him around in certain places and
it's exciting. I mean, it's an exciting time for him. He's
earned scholarships from multiple
colleges and universities and he's going to even have
a chance to be really, really good. He's still growing, he's
still at a very, very young teenager, but
I'm excited for,
you know, definitely a
strong team from the conference and
like we talked about earlier, they win this Obsession that
game. They probably should get an at large bid committees.
Listening clients lost stuff from last night.
By for on the road at st. Louis,
you massive 16 of 20 for the free throws at the second. Half
after 141, in the first half of the three pointer goes up and
in for st. Bonaventure. So all of a sudden now it is 59, 256
as flowers brains that he's got 12 points.
Now, it's about defense
and now they give up an open three from the corner, and
that's the one place that's the most analytically driven shot
from three, is the corner three,
and there it is again.
You know, we talked earlier about you man has been able to
answer the Bell each and every time we hit the hits that
corner. Three. Right after flowers, knocks down the three.
So
let's see what if they have another answer.
S underneath the basket of scored Pie Contest.
That was a 14 and nothing wrong at UMass had early. After being
down 5:47,
let sense
are just one for the pain. He's with his weight early in
the game was ain't nothing. Here's flowers, step-back three, count
it in a quick timeout taken by Mark Schmidt
with 102 remaining, it is down to a five-point lead victim, shot
by flowers. Who's been stepping up big for the Bonnie's
here you have them set in the double away. Again for flowers
hoop, size to go to the step back. He's been key
in making sure the saint Bonaventure has a chance at
taking this lead again here. Our position is the eighth seed
in the tournament. So
you know, this is a this is really a
good win for you. Max.
Look featured on for flowers. They get the ball back. The
bodies, of course here, but it's not going to matter.
For seconds remaining UMass is going to win it, 71 262.
Sports today, see today, knock it off st. Bonaventure
led by Dickens, in Louisa 14 points in Welbeck, had 11 for
David Vanderpool like Corey. Thanks for watching. We're
going to send you had to Washington. D.c. all
