vmax Posted March 17, 2018 Author Posted March 17, 2018 “We got our butts whipped. That was not even close,” Bennett said. “Their offense was very hard to guard. They shot it well. We kept getting broken down and did a poor job. … We got thoroughly outplayed. Did not play well. We had a hard time with their mobile forwards and their guards. That was a thorough butt whooping.”It sure was. The game was tied at 21 at the half, but then UMBC opened up a lead in the second half and just expanded on it.They made 54.2 percent of their shots, including 50 percent of their threes. Guards Jairus Lyles and KJ Maura seemed to make every shot they attempted. Once they knocked Virginia on the ground, they stepped on their throats and did not let them back up.It was exactly how Bennett described it — a thorough butt whooping.............https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaabk/tony-bennett-after-historic-loss-%E2%80%98we-got-our-butts-whipped%E2%80%99/ar-BBKk6Ww?li=BBnb7Kz
papasmurfbell Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Pretty amazing. Coppin was the first 15 to beat a 2. I knew a 1 would go down. I called it yrs ago.

vmax Posted March 19, 2018 Author Posted March 19, 2018 The end came fast but this team will be long remembered.
papasmurfbell Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 I think UVA was tailer made to be beaten by UMBC. They are not real big. They don't bang it inside hard.
