One can wonder how this would have gone with BPC in the game.

Very competitive game. Interesting chatter between two retired coach analysts. The man was opinionated and the woman was knowledgeable. Nothing new under the sun 🌞.

A number of her "knowledgable" comments seemed to betray a pro-Q bias. Her colleague toned down her comments several times.

I only watched the last three minutes and I agree having BPC probably made the difference in the eventual outcome BUT, let's be honest Q did everything they could to hand us the game with their missed ft's and turnovers. Both teams looked ill prepared to make winning plays down the stretch Very disappointed with this loss.

I watched all of the game. Your summary is spot on for someone who only saw 3 minutes. The many steals in passing lanes by HC were impressive, but they were too often followed by blown chippies.

Couldn’t and didn’t watch most of the game but my impression is that we are not good at making inside shots, bunnies even. So, if we aren’t hitting a good percentage of 3s, we’re toast. Don’t think that’s always been the case. But taking away BPC from the equation, almost every game would seem to be a major uphill battle.

So you agree the quality of play in WBB is terrible right now Foley adds to his numerous bad qualities that he can't read. This is not what rgs318 said. But this is Foley's latest approach. Because he struggles to say anything relevant or intelligent he now likes to do something like: Poster: It's going to snow in Worcester this week Foley: So you agree that Worcester has the worst weather of any place in the world. I'm against censorship, but Crossports is like belonging to a club, and I'm starting to wonder why we continue to allow someone in the club who hates HC so much. We have a wide range of opinions, including many that are critical of things involving HC, but Foley's shtick isn't thoughtful criticism but unbridled hatred. Why do we want him here?

Newfieguy, you are quite correct. I never said or thought any such thing. I also try to never read anything posted by he who I shal;not name, and only saw his post when you quoted him, so I did not correct him right away.

Well, I think his comment in part references an earlier comment regarding the quality of play this season outside the top 10 is down this season. Having watched a bunch of games, not only PL related ones, I find myself in agreement. Lot of players/teams with poor fundamentals, bad passing, missed layups, missing a slew of open shots, spotty defense.

I saw probably 30 minutes out of the 40- intermittent parts of the first half and all of the second.
1. So many chances to win that game. Seemingly every opportunity was wasted by a bad decision or a missed makeable shot. Those that weren't, the men and ladies in stripes took care of in Q's favor. 2. "next few weeks?". That does not sound very encouraging. Unfortunately, something must be seriously wrong w/someone in her family. 3. Bad coaching decision, not putting Berger in to occupy the inside position on the second foul shot when Q missed a pair late in the game (although perhaps the Q girl bricked two the second time as well, can't remember; she missed at least one the second time).

She missed the first and made the second shot on the second pair of free throws.

She missed the first and made the second shot on the second pair of free throws. There you go. Couldn't believe when I looked up it was Allen and Foreman under there instead of Berger. Now maybe Berger stands where Foreman would have been and it wouldn't have mattered; when she went in she stood where Allen was on the first shot and then Allen went on the other side.

A big fan of this team but staff needed to recruit size and a 3 point shooting guard threat and didn’t.—-Get ready for a lot of close games- hopefully on the plus side.

Neither of the frehman guards are offensive first, although Bachmann was pretty good from 3 in HS. The more likely new offense will come from Munt & Donnelly, if they can get & stay healthy.
