The secret may be to not play Joey?
Watched the last 15 minutes and Joey barely played other than a few seconds at the end. He’s really being phased out.
Joey Hauser obviously closed out his year at MU not so well. Couldn't hang onto the ball, turnovers, etc. I thought it was just a mental thing for him as he wasn't getting along with teammates, etc (and whatever the exact problems were with Markus shooting, etc, I don't know). Two years removed, with normal development he should be way ahead of where he was at MU. It doesn't seem like he has improved much. But it seems like he is having some of the same problems. And he can't guard bigs, and to slow to guard 3's.https://247sports.com/college/michigan-state/Board/93/Contents/What-would-it-take-for-Hauser-to-get-permanently-benched-161042289/?page=2Joey, maybe next year will be his year. Would probably benefit from having a great shooter or two around him to give him space. Maybe Markus was actually good for him. Maybe we'll know next year - I can't imagine that MSU will be down for two years in a row.Sam, same Sam. He can play, but I don't think he can be the man. A great Robin. And that takes nothing away from Sam. He would have been great to have for another year at MU. And had he redshirted last year, he sure would help this team, just having the maturity around.
Izzo said a couple days ago that guys would be playing for their jobs. He said he'd only give significant PT to those who were worthy, those who earned it.
We need somr posters from scoop to go over and set those insensitive, uninformed Spartan fans straight about Joey. All of their complaints about St. Joseph are Wojo's fault.
I blame "The Cancer."
Sam 19 -8-3 in Cavs 1 point loss to Duke. Sam missed a critical 3 pointer in the last minute that would have given UVA the lead
On the game's final play, it must have felt like deja vu to him as he could only watch while Kihei Clark dribbled down court, fumbled the ball, never for a second considered passing to Sam or anybody else, and then missed a desperation 3. Of course, the difference is that Clark is not a good shooter while Markus was one of the best shooters in the country.
Article on UVA after loss. One of their takeaways is Sam needs to keep looking for his shot. https://dailyprogress.com/sports/rapid-reaction-three-takeaways-from-virginias-66-65-loss-to-duke/article_277ca454-73f3-11eb-a75b-fff0788c4f16.html
Many of us used to say the same when Sam was here. He was a good post-up player and we wanted him to do it more.Sam had a very good game yesterday. But down the stretch he missed his last 2 shots, including a wide-open 3, got the ball stolen from him, and also got away with an obvious travel. And in defense of Clark, Sam didn’t work to get open on the final play. He just stood 25 feet from the hoop, with a defender nearby.
Sam 21 and 2 in Cavs loss to NC State.
