Oso planning to go pro
I think he is working hard to keep the young guys focused. He is in his defensive stance. Against Providence, the announcers said he slapped the floor.
There are too many people not finding joy in a conference road win.
Totally agree. But I guess it’s more fun to poop on the coach.
Cancel culture at its finest.
Not canceling anything. You are free to post whatever you want, and you sure have plenty of company in your viewpoints.And others are free to express disappointment that some Scoopers can’t seem to enjoy an MU road win.Right? Or are you trying to cancel me and tower?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
No I meant others like to cancel woj, not a comment on you and tower
My bad. Totally misread it.
Not an above the rim player despite his height. No spring in his legs. Doesn’t mean he isn’t good. He brings a lot to the table but he is not overly athletic.
Could someone smarter than me explain what Garcia is doing wrong that he keeps getting blocked? I've never seen someone so tall get so many shots blocked down low.
This happened to Merritt a lot early on too.
Yep. He just goes up weak a lot. Just something that young players need to adjust to.
Very glad MU squeaked out a win.IMHO the talent gap between MU and STJ is huge however STJ make up for it with a defensive system that creates lots of opportunities for them.Carton, Garcia and Lewis are studs. Koby was clutch.It never should have gotten close. Once again, the halftime "adjustment" by STJ was obvious, and MU was unprepared.Extremely difficult game to officiate because of the intensity of STJ defense. Reminded me a lot of the way Huggins' Cincy teams used to play. Basically they foul everyone, continuously, often with multiple people fouling the guy with the ball. Refs just cannot call all the fouls, so they don't. Advantage to the aggressor. Such a close game against one of the bottom teams in the BEAST, however, does not bode well for the next round against Creighton, Nova, etc.
Agree with you about the aggressor stuff. Your last line is an opinion, and that's cool. We all have them. But one could have said the exact same thing going into the first Creighton game after we lost to UCLA and weren't especially impressive against Green Bay. Or going into the Wisconsin game after we lost to Oklahoma State. Indeed, if one looks back at predictions here, most Scoopers gave us little chance to win either game.Each game is its own entity. Look what's happening all around the country. We need to play better, sure, but I'll take any win. Lots of teams with seemingly huge talent advantages - including many coached by guys whom any of us would take over Wojo - are not only playing close games against seemingly inferior teams but losing to them.
Ya. Louisville under pitino was similar.But I hate it. Refs could, and I believe should, call all the fouls like any other game. Not calling them only gives in to the idea that it's okay to foul. Players/teams/coaches aren't going to change unless you force them to follow the rules.If a team started travelling every possession, would the refs stop calling them?
