Fobbs leads MBB over UMBC, 77-71 (story)

[RundaPower 153]

Timberlake has not looked good on D. Last night he gave up a really bad looking overplay onthe baseline off of the wing in the first half.  Agreed, Turnstalls foul late in the game was inexcusable. Sanders has been playing well on both ends of the floor. 

I thought it was as bad an interior defense night as I have seen from a Coach Skerry team.

Liberty does look good. Ranked in the mid major poll I believe. Would be a really strong win prior to conference play. Also agreed even tho Sanders does some head scratching things, he has been playing solid overall

Look, let’s be honest-if Fobbs doesn’t go off last night, we lose at home to a team playing without their top scorer (were they missing another key player as well?)

Point is, Fobbs ain’t going to score 30+ every game, which begs the bquestion of where are the points going to come from on those nights when he only scores 15 points? Based on how things are trending, it  better be Betrand & Sanders because Gibson has gone 3 straight games without scoring a single point, Timberlake looks awful (sorry, but the numbers don’t lie), Thompson is probably good for 4ppg, Tunstall maybe 8 or so, Dottin maybe 5-6. That leaves Gray, who seems to run hot and cold. I doubt we can expect him to average more than 10ppg, at best.

SHHH... don't question Pat's greatness... We won! Be happy! Who cares if it was a team with a 2-5 record. They were missing a guy who averaged 10 and 9 PPG the last two years and 6 and 5 on the boards. He is also there best defender and would likely have been on Brian.

Brian Fobbs > James Harden; lol ..... what a game!!!!     seems to be a long break now, any idea why?  and how did Liberty end up on the schedule, seems random? (they seem to be pretty good, havent lost yet).  Bummed out Timberlake hasn't broke out yet (feel like he should/could be 10pts a game????? ) but pumped Fobbs got rolling.....

Exams. But palying 3 games in 25 days isn't ideal, thanks Cornell! Not sure why you think Liberty is random? They are a semi-Mid Major (school pumping tons of money into athletics) local program. They are good and that one could be very ugly

Must be nice. A lot of money in evangelical Christianity and online diploma mill courses.

The Liberty game is part of 4 team tournament.  The other 2 schools are Tulane and Akron.

I do.  Good read about his recruitment and the unusual way he ended up at Towson.
