Hurd is bringing it. 16 pts and brings the deficit down to 5. Actually making a basket or two has allowed the press to get set up and cause trouble for UMBC.
Torvik gave us a 100% chance to win this game (for real). So thereās nothing to worry about. Itās statistically impossible for us to lose.
Just checked the score. What a bizarre game. We are 0 - 6 from 3, with Mo shooting 4 of those. How in the world has only 2 other players taken a three?
MO on the board with 2 free throws!
Mox just trying to follow the TB legacy
Mo just took a step back NBA threeā¦with 18 seconds on the shot clock. Pretty bad basketball.
Tie game, 2 minutes to go. We have never led.
I donāt really know womenās basketball but trying to go for three there seemed ill advised. Especially when you consider how they hadnāt made one all game.
UMBC has made more 3 pointers than 2 pointers. This box score is bonkers.
Inexcusable loss in Year 4 for Mox with multiple system veterans. With Elliott off the hot seat, time to put Mox on it.
Yeah itās certainly tournament or bust for her this year. This made it that much tougher.
I donāt get why sheās struggling so much. This is a talented team!
3 point shooting:
UMBC 9-14
UVA 0-14
And it still shouldnāt have mattered. You have to find another way to win. Worst game of the Mox era.
UMBC shot 24% from 2, and 64% from 3.
UVA was 0 - 14 from 3. Thatās ⦠thatās incredible.
Iāve seen that movie against UMBC before. Not quite that bad though.
ā¦yeah Mox might be in trouble.
Because sheās a ācultureā coach, which was in theory great when we were trying to resuscitate the culture after Tina left it in the toilet. But sheās not a discipline coach or a system coach, which is what we need to get over the hump, to be more consistent.
We brutalized them on the boards and actually did well at not turning the ball over. But 1-16 from Mo overall and being on the wrong side of 9/14 vs 0/14 from 3 point range is just crushing.
Even so, this is a bad loss. Team needs to galvanize around this and just truck everyone from here on out or theyāre toast. Because I agree that this is Coach Moxās make or break season. As beloved as sheās been, sheās on the hot seat now.
Edit - Also, anyone know whatās up with Brown starting and then playing only a handful of minutes? Sheās started all 3 games yet has played a total of 30 minutes on the season.
Mox has exhausted my goodwill. Thereāve been too many games where they come out looking unprepared either strategically or emotionally and donāt get it done.
Mox mentioned the Jillian thing in her most recent media avail. She said sheās being worked back in slowly after missing 18 months.
Paul Tudor Jones doubling his net worth over gaming the upcoming ai bubble burst and bringing home Dawn Staley is going to be a movie.
CMON CAPITALISM
