Minutemen Come Back To Knock Off Houston, 95-89
Etienne Brower scores 17 second half points as four Minutemen score in double-figures
From UMass Athletics, 1/2/2008

AMHERST, Mass. - After scoring just one point in the first half, Etienne Brower scored 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the second half to lead UMass (11-2) to a 95-89 victory over Houston (11-1) in Wednesday night's matchup of up-tempo teams at the Mullins Center. Gary Forbes led all scorers with 19 points. Chris Lowe tallied 18 points on 7-for-11 shooting and Ricky Harris rounded out the four Minutemen in double-figures with 16 points and five assists. UMass trailed by as many as 13 late in the first half, but used an early second half run fueled by the energized home crowd to make the comeback.

The Minutemen struggled to find their shooting touch early, connecting on five of their first 17 shots, including 2-for-11 from 3-point range, while falling behind, 18-14, 8:42 into the game. A Luke Bonner 3-point play pulled UMass to within one, 23-22, with 9:15 left, but the Cougars then went on a 8-1 run over a 41 second span to take a 31-23 lead. Two straight Forbes layups and a Papa Lo block ended the run, but Houston would outscore UMass, 17-10, over the final 6:35 of the half to send the Minutemen to the locker room down, 48-37.

UMass was 14-for-35 (40.0%) from the floor in the first half, including 3-for-15 from 3-point range. Houston shot 18-for-34 (52.9%) and was 2-for-7 from behind the arc. The Cougars held a 22-19 advantage on the glass in the opening 20 minutes. Lowe led the Minutemen with 10 points on 5-for-6 shooting and Forbes added seven first half points. Houston was paced by Tafari Toney and Robert McKiver with 10 points each.

The Minutemen came out attacking to start the second half, outscoring the Cougars, 21-11 over the first 7:11 to pull within three, 59-56. Brower led the charge with 10 points in that span and capped off the run with a 3-point play in the lane. UMass took the lead for the first time since 1-0 when Lowe converted two straight layups with the help of a Ricky Harris steal to make it 73-70 with 8:19 to go. Houston took the lead back two more times before another 3-point play from Brower gave UMass the lead again, 80-79, with 5:26 remaining. A Harris layup with 2:17 left extended UMass' lead to five, 88-83, but Houston outscored UMass, 6-1, over the next 1:07 to tie the game, 89-89, with 1:10 left. Forbes hit two free throws with 54.9 seconds to give the Minutemen the lead back for good, 91-89. UMass would go on to combine tough play at the defensive end with four more made free throws down the stretch to pull off the 95-89 victory.

UMass returns to action on Saturday when they travel to Vanderbilt to take on the undefeated Commodores (13-0) in a battle of high-scoring offenses.

QUOTES

Coach Travis Ford on the game
I am very proud of the team effort and their commitment to the system. This was not the first time we have been down by double digits at the half. They kept responding and stayed positive. Houston played well, better than we did in the first half because they were attacking the whole time. The guys responded and made adjustments on their own. That was just enough to win. But, every time I thought we were okay at the end, Houston made some threes. We beat a very good Houston basketball team.

Coach Ford on changing the offensive set
At halftime, I instituted two new sets on offense. One set to spread the court out and the other to isolate Gary. We had a lot of driving opportunities in the first half, but the lanes were clogged by our own guys. We can't keep Houston from shooting, but we did make them take tough shots in the second half. They made a lot of those tough shots, like falling out of bounds shooting a three.

Harris on the second half offense
It was hard for us to run plays but we just started playing more of a penetration and kick type offense. We just tried to drive the lane and look for the foul, and if not we would dish out. They ran a lot of switches, but we just tried to get a big man on us and make them foul.

Forbes on carrying the offense
We're never worried about offense; we're always going to get our shots. Tonight you had me, Ricky, Etienne, and Chris all shooting well. Other people can score so we aren't worried about carrying anything on our shoulders

Harris on the game
The offense isn't on our shoulders, the freshmen came out tonight and hit some good threes, lots of people on this team can score, and we have a lot of weapons.

Forbes on what the win means for UMass nationally
We just want to stay under the radar and keep on winning. One poll ranked us 13th coming into the season and we just try and keep that on our mind and keep going. We want to make it to the NCAA tournament, but our main goal is just to keep winning.

Lowe on being under the radar
We definitely like being under the radar, look at Rhode Island. We just want to sneak up on everybody. We just play hard and work hard everyday.

Lowe on offensive pressure
We aren't worried about being pulled on offense, we didn't have many threes in the first half and we just came out in the second half and brought it to the basket.

Brower on getting inside
If I can't start shooting threes I need to score somehow and help out my team, so I started driving to basket.
