Fouls on 3-point shots

[essexknight]

How many times did it happen in the 2nd half? Having this happen once is too often. These type of fouls really killed momentum and gave UMass free points.

 

[Freddy Stubbs]

2 or 3 times. Also 2 or 3 times last game. Mind numbing!

2 from the Swede alone lol.

If memory serves we’ve done it three times in each of the last two games

3 times, I think one a 4 point play

we lead the nation, I think at least 10 this season

Just absolutely maddening. And it happens over and over. It's not an anomaly. "We can't guard the foul line." And evidently we can't guard the three point line either.

Never seen it happen with this frequency. Lazy defense.

 

[zappaa]

More in 6 games than previous 5 years

It isn’t lazy defense….it is bad defense.

 

[MCKnight]

Palmquist had two of these alone, within his oddly played 7 min stretch.

Pikiell's calling card is supposed to be defense but our players routinely mess up closeouts by either fouling or by flying by and allowing dribble penetration.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

It’s lack of recovery speed to the line and lack of body control...in other words ...athleticism issues

 

[MCKnight]

It is an easy thing to coach....if It happens one time, pull player out, but our coach is too nice he has to give everyone a fair chance

Palmquist at least was in a position to foul. The guy he played over wasn't even that close.

Play the guy that is so late on close outs that he isnt even in a position to foul OR fouled the 3 point shooter twice in the last game.
