This year it's about positioning. Senior center Kitwana Rhymer has had the most foul trouble, averaging just 11.5 minutes per game while being forced to the bench by the whistles. I've got to re-adjust. I can't put my hands on anybody at all. I didn't think it was going to be this tight.
Players have to be careful how they play now.
But I'll be all right. We have to go out and play. Despite their preseason hype, UMass' two freshmen have been non-factors in the team's first two games as Willie Jenkins has played just six minutes in two games, while Jameel Pugh has yet to see action. Flint was upset with Jenkins in the Marquette game. I didn't think he was ready to go into the game.
