MU/G-Town Game Thread

[MuggsyB]

We haven't played well since the 17 min mark of the 2nd half.  A bit concerned about Morsell.  We desperately need this guy to find his game thr closing stretch of the season.

I hope the foul on Kolek was due to the slight bump because the slap got ALL ball

[Uncle Rico]

Do you think we should fire Shaka after this game and kick the tires on Chris Mack?  I’ll hang up and listen

[GoldenEagles03]

I agree but that performance last night was eye opening.

How about Gillespies 0 point game against St. Johns in 26 minutes?

Or his 10 point game in a loss to Marquette.  How about his 5-15 shooting day in his 2nd loss to Marquette?

Justin had 33, 9, and 6 at Seton Hall.  Justin had 27 and 9!!! against Butler just a few days ago.  It's not close.

[MuggsyB]

What was that?  Look down the floor.  Jlew was wide open.

[Fred Garvin]

Holy cow!!

[MuggsyB]

Now that was a serious sledgehammer jam.

[MUEng92]

Wow, that pass from Kolek

Now that was a serious sledgehammer jam.

What a debacle from the 10 minute mark. Just abysmal
26 points to 11. Puke city.

Did Kam only have 2 pts in the 2nd half?

[Cream Biggums]

Such a bad beat on the -13 spread

[Shark]

How disgusting is it that there's a Big East team that hurts your metrics when you win by 11 ?

There’s lots of ball left.  The race is far from over.

Kam and Darryl both hardly played in the 2nd half.  Shaka lighting a fire under Darryl before they hit the road for their final Q1 opportunity.  Love it.

Stevie has noo confidence in his shot

doesn’t seem to be the recruit he was hyped to be. Thought he had more game on the offense side. Lots of upside, however

He's 18 right now in a league with a 25 year old.  He's been one of MU's best on ball defenders when he gets minutes and he is really good at cutting to the basket.  He's gonna be fine.  He'll be a nice change of pace for Kolek moving forward.  Kolek runs the show offensively and Stevie will be there to get in your face when Kolek gets a rest.

Dropped from 32 -> 38 in KenPom.

Morsell tweaked his ankle and was limping after his charging foul in the first minute of the game.

I wonder if that had anything to do with his poor performance and bench time.

He played great defense

[Boone]

i have no confidence in Mitchell's shot either. Starts shot from his navel

The first shot, okay, guys get trigger happy. The second I just threw up my hands. Never should've taken that.

I watched him shoot quite a while after getting into Hinkle early for the Butler game. Very inconsistent and low percentage from 3 even in a shootaround setting. I like his game and he satisfies his role this year, but I would hope they would do some serious work on his form this offseason.

Agree on the work on his form. I really like his scrappiness on defense but he's prone to freshman mistakes, often resulting in fouls. I see a lot of upside with him.
