In response to Columbia 37P6
We were flat out outcoached in crunch time in the second half. Here is what I saw from the stands: Donohue figured out how to get Tape, who was outplaying Brodeur, into foul trouble. From the ten minute mark of the second half we looked clueless. Smith threw the ball away, Hickman reverted to form, Castlin did nothing, Adlesh started missing, everybody started making one pass too many, and Meisner was humiliated by Brodeur, who stuffed him on a three point shot and went
coast to coast. Meanwhile Donohue was there in his shirtsleeves encouraging his guys, working the refs, calling out plays and imposing his will on the game. Engles was Sphinx-like as usual, didn’t work the refs, wasn’t calling out plays, and didn’t have a clue as to what buttons to push when the game started slipping away. So we totally outplayed Penn for one half (although we should have had a bigger first half lead but let it slip away with two minutes to go), played Penn straight up for the first ten minutes of the s come half, and then gave the game away.
