Well, we now know that even a 20-point second half lead is not enough to bring a game to a relaxing end. I am switching from a nice sparkling brut to cheap vodka during this commercial break...

Great D by Battle and Stallinfs to get us back to back stops. 

Then UMass chucks a three to make it a turkey.

Anyone know who scored the prior basket for GW when camera was looking elsewhere?

How about an intentional foul, refs?
 

I know this is contrary to some on the board but I like Paar.  I think he has a ton of potential once he gets stronger to be able to get and maintain position.  He certainly can handle the pick and roll.  I have seen a few good post moves in the 3 games he has played.  He has excellent touch from outside.  I actually think he has good hands- just needs to be stronger down low to avoid getting pushed around.

Finally calmed down. Potter should make clock an ally.

Back to an 18-point lead. I am not letting down my guard but also glad I am not a UMasshole fan at this point.

What do you guys think of the SCREAMING UMass fan sitting near the announcers, you can hear his every word!!LOL  It's a terrible sign for UMass that their arena is so empty that you can hear the loudmouth fan so clearly!!

It looked like UMass was going to come back and win after they cut the 22 point lead to 8 with ease in the first few minutes of the 2nd half, but they are now showing why they are a bottom-tier A-10 with all the careless turnovers and careless offensive execution

What is it about the second half that turns Potter from a so-so point guard to a superstar?

I expected Potter to play like this last year. Really showing his skill now. Good
