And by “street clothes” I mean the dopest threads you’ll see on the mean streets of Cambridge, MA.

Yo Chili!
-
I bet the Harvard kids, unlike MU82, knows what performance compensation is...
-
Darn shooting background.
-
Dunk that, matt
-
Getting every look we want.
-
The camera angle is too far from the court.
-
Extra practices not improving the freshmen
-
Looks like a preseason exhibition game.
-
Need to start making some shots. What happened to that great shoooting background Dodds talks about?
-
First quarter:
Announcers terrible
Camera work terrible
The actual game, well Harvard without two best players......
MU shooting atrocious, Rowsey wanting to be a Globetrotter and another game with foul issue.
MU gets it together and should destroy this team.
-
"Sam Hauser, everything runs through him. Yeah the guards are good.. but he's what makes them go"
Lol
-
Well, that was the most boring 10 minutes all year.

All of your points spot on. WTF is with Rowsey?
-
This is terrible

. Did I mention horrible?
-
JFC
-
Yeah I don’t think MU is into this.
-
Hitting a basket this quarter would be nice
-
Markus is answering the question “Could he run the point next year?”
-
Looks like a preseason exhibition game.
What an entertaining fiasco. Turn over city, boneheaded plays, poor shooting, Rowsey crapping all over the place, low scoring, poor D. A great feature for the consolation tourney
-
This is ugly.
-

Senior leadership. Taking minutes from frosh.

Can’t argue with any of this.
-
Rowsey in all star game mode
Guy makes some plays but the turnovers n defense make him incredibly replaceable, scores but is a net negative
-
This is ugly.
Only the offense and defense
-
Howard just went to the locker room.
-
I hate these announcers with every bone in my body.
-
I hate these announcers with every bone in my body.
So awful
-
Markus just came back out and is on the bench.
-
Sam. Dumb.
-
I hate these announcers with every bone in my body.
I never thought I'd be missing Dickey.
-
How many people watching this came know the announcer keeps saying "lilliputia," and how many of those actually know what it means.
Announcers are poor. Play is poor.
-
This is really painful
-
Get that stumblebum Rowsey out of there. Wojo's product is a joke.
-
Cain needs to shoot,he's trying to think out there,and it Jus t leads to turnovers
-
I hate these announcers with every bone in my body.
The cliche brothers.

I hate these announcers with every bone in my body.
Never heard of them and the analyst is without doubt the worse ever. Almost like this game, Rowsey must be hung over. MU May get to 26 points this half, maybe.
Did I mention Harvard is playing without its two best players.
-
An actual good defensive possession sighting.
-
Right now, would put this game right up there as Academy Award stink show.

Without its two best players? And hanging right there with us. The DePaul loss was not a fluke. Wojo's team honks big time.
-
Freahman n sophs are doing ok. Rowsey for all his moxy is simply how teams lose basketball games. Cartwright, and 8 other BE point gurds are better than him n better for winning. Only one i wouldnt take is Mintz.
Kid makes plays etc but his inconsistancy n sheer stupidity at times is problematic
-
If sacar plays alot next year we will suck then too, guy is no good
-
"This team makes a lot of young mistakes"
-
Now its Anim's turn to take a dump all over the floor, after Rowsey and Hauser. What a stink bomb.
-
They also make the plays of bad basketball players. Rowsey is 23 , sacar is a junior and had one good game in 30 and 27-28 bad ones. Where his stat sheet showed he did nothing n his defense is not very good just looks good relative
-
I really hope no one mistakes this for Harvard being a solid squad tonight. Because that could not be further from the truth.
-
Any Big East team would be up double digits on us right now.
-
Marquette shot just 40.4% eFG% in the first half, which would be by far their worst of the season.. BUT, they lead 27-21 at half. Harvard shooting 37.0% eFG% and are turning it over on one of every three possessions. #mubb
-

Harvard is not good. But MU sucks big time. Yup, Wojo has the team going in the right direction.
-
This is rough, no flow at all
-
Horrible game, lucky it is not Oregon.
MU shooting 34%, same as the lowly Harvard team.
Harvard has 11 turnovers, but MU and its elite first half passing, has 7.
Rowsey: 1 for 7, three turnovers, enough on that.
Sam: two point, 3 fouls
Anim: zero points
Cain with one stupid turnover, but an all over the place guy so far.
MU should be annihilating this team.
-
For all you guys who want an on-campus arena, I can tell you that it sucks not being able to drink-- and I could really use it right now.

You can have an on-campus arena and serve alcohol.
-

FG% is not relevant. (Also, they're not both shooting 34%).
-
All comes together in the second half. Marquette covers the spread.
-

I am so, so sorry. Harvard at 33%, better?
-
Markus is the only starter who looks like he cares. Only 1 TO as well. MU will win by 20...
-

Those of us stupid enough to actually place that wager salute you. Excuse me while I slink back to my beer.
-
"This team makes a lot of young mistakes"
Except Rowsey is leading in the mistakes.
-

Yep was at a number of them this year including hinkle
-
.According to our leader Wojo this is all part of the process to win in March. So could someone clue me in on what the he__ is going on?
-
hey. look. markus avoiding contact again.
-
Weak comp but our guys have been in good position tonite defensively. Best help defense i have seen this year as its normally non existant
-
Ok so it took until halftime to actually try?
-
Currently my sotg is jamal, his defense is the difference in this game
-

I'd say Heldt
-
hey. look. markus avoiding contact again.
nope..tried to draw contact
-
nope..tried to draw contact
I didn't think I needed teal.
Just amusing when people here were saying he tries to avoid contact
-
Can you guys believe Cain is shooting 3s still? He's not a shooter
-
Someone mentioned no alcohol at the Al, but it seems Rowsey has had no problem getting served. Did he really dump the ball onto(?) Heldt, who was setting a screen, with 3 seconds left on the clock?
-
Worst defensive game I've seen from GE this year, constantly getting beat on drives
-
I literally expect rowsey to do something stupid every time down the court
-
Worst defensive game I've seen from GE this year, constantly getting beat on drives
Making mistakes but is active and has a bunch of deflections n a help side steal. I will take effort n mistakes any day over Rowseys indifference
-
As much as we look disinterested and going through the motions, Harvard is even moreso
-
Putting the hammer down now.
-
At least we're pulling away so we know we're playing again. Better step it up against Oregon.
-
The ESPN announcer .. was he promoted from the Ocho?
-
Much better 2nd half by Warriors. Kudos to Howard, Heldt for defense in interior and Cain for rebounding.
-
The ESPN announcer .. was he promoted from the Ocho?
I think he was demoted from the Ocho.
-
Markus taking over. Might be because he's playing fairly weak competition but he's even playing good defense, which never happens.
-
Howard really needs to learn to feed the screener on the PnR. That floater has been a turnover all year. 3 more times tonite.
Bounce pass should be the default, throws a lazy floater that gets stolen like crazy. Not good , For a potential PG next year
-
Props to he lax bros for their free throw distractions. The swimming one was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
-
Not very pretty. Hopefully the boys come to play against Oregon. And I'd take Dickie and Elmore over these two guys next game.
-
Let’s finish these guys, good third quarter.

#FakeNews
Yep, he's up to a SINGLE TURNOVER all night. One.
-
Gotta wonder if Rowsey bar hopped all the way down wells avenue to this game. Tonight is another example of why he really wont be missed. His defense is crap every night n his offense is crap half the nights. Hard to win like that.
Unfortunately Howard is not the answer
Solid ncaa 2 guard no where near a PG
-
#FakeNews
Yep, he's up to a SINGLE TURNOVER all night. One.
Replay the game he has had 3 pnr feeds knocked away
-
Hauser looks like he is really struggling with his hip.
-
Sam is in serious pain
-
Our team looks fatigued across the board.
Think extended 3 point line actually hurts us, because now teams defend out to that line, whereas psychologically when the line was 20 inches in, teams guarded more to that line and gave a bit more airspace beyond the line (where Rowsey would frequently fire from.)
Did they say Harvard is without their TWO best players? Was aware they were without Ivy League Conference POY, but who is the other?
-
Cain dribbles with his right when he is going to his left
I noticed this at times this year. He just sid it twice in a row??!!! WTF!!!?

Tired from traveling to the venue?
-
Cain and Rowsey in a battle to see who can turn it over more.
-
Christ Cain travels a lot
-
Cain is to traveling like Chris Grimm is to the moving screen.
-
So many lazy telegraphed passes out on top.
-
Nice D Rowsey..
-
Where did that 19 point lead go in like five minutes.
Rowsey and Cain each have 5 turnovers.
-
We've given them life...
-
There goes Cain.
-
What happened to Jamal?
-
They are regressing again.
-
What happened to Jamal?
Turned his ankle from what I could tell.
-
Jamal limping off - bad.
Hope we hold on. Won’t beat Oregon playing like this.
-
Time to suck it up men.
-
Putting the hammer down now.
Right now they are doing the hammering. MU will need to hang on to their jocks to pull this out.
-

Wojo better be slapping that mic in the post-game presser.

Hauser not in late, also likely too beat up to play.

I finally got it, was driving me crazy, the analyst voice sounds exactly like Norman Chad, the poker announcer. Terrible.

Haha great call. He's easily the worst I've ever heard
-

Who are the announcers? They are brutal.
-
I think we need to add a pg to next years roster.
-
Markus, not a PG
-
MU got this
-
FFS. Can we pull this out?
-
Yeah maybe MH cant play PG
-
lol
-
Has this be fun or what? Great point guard work.
-
Thank God Harvard can’t hit free throws
-
We really need a PG next year. Good lord.
-
Markus was clobbered
-
This is absurd. can someone else take the ball up the court?????
-
Markus was clobbered
no he wasn't - very clean
-
That $40,000 Guitar Hero dribbling machine isn't helping Howard too much.
-
M2N?
Apply serious on ball pressure to MH and it's a sh$t show.
-
Yeah maybe MH cant play PG
Agree! If he can’t handle Harvard he certainly can’t handle the Big East
-
Wojo....is....clueless. What a crap show.
-
This is why you decline the NIT. If anything we got worse tonight.
-
I think we need to add a pg to next years roster.
Three possessions in a row, brutal. MU got bailed out on missed free throws.
Even dimwit analyst knows.
-

Well done. Yikes. Perhaps biggest benefit of this game will be Wojo will simply be able to show the last minute of this game to a grad transfer PG and say, yea, we really need a PG.
-
Man we could use former MU great Marvin Diener. My favorite insight from the broadcasting crew. Serious intensity from MU tonight!
-
Does Tony Miller have a college aged kid?
-
I stand corrected. Wojo is not taking us sideways...he is regressing us. Where is the blow torch strapped on his ass?
-
Whose the scooper behind me saying FT matta 😂

You whine like a two year old girl. Man up wee willie.

20 wins. Extend wojo
-
Chalk up another demoralizing win.
-

#ftsmatta
-
Nothing about that was enjoyable.
-
After the last 5 minutes, I'm feeling pretty good about my decision to leave the Al at the half to catch the rest of the game at Soblemans. Watching that dumpster fire of a fourth quarter without a few beers in me would have been even more brutal. And the 100 small children around me would have learned a few new words too.
-
20 wins. Extend wojo
Actually it only takes 2 consecutive wins in November in Pre-Season NIT to earn contract extension.
-

Hmmm....name calling like a 5 year old schoolboy. Man up!

There was an entire thread a few weeks back where a number of people vociferously argued that Markus Howard can play point guard next year. He cant dribble, he doesnt pivot, he doesnt pass fake, has poor court vision.
He literally has none of tge attributes of a point guard on a decent d1 team. I hope tonight illustrates how in trouble MU is next year if Wojo actualky tries to play him at PG. From dribbling, to handling pressure to passing from the pick and roll he is simply very bad and next year would be a disaster. Hopefully people can see that better after tonight
-
Nothing about that was enjoyable.
Disagree...gives the staff.some good motivation for next game...draw up better plays to bring the ball up...
What was not enjoyable is seeing.injuries to hauser, Cain, and possibly Elliott
-
That was bad. That’s all I have to say.
-
That was bad. That’s all I have to say.
Oregon legit comp, just saying MUScoop elite

disagree. Markus played PG well until the full court press. It's a 5 man team and he.needed help. He tried to play hero ball dribbler..that is correctible
-

LOL
Mervin, hard to pick the worst part of the announcing but that might have been it.
-
While I agree that it was a tough game to watch, you need to give some credit to the Harvard D at the end. They did a really nice job of executing those hard, aggressive traps.
-

Umm wrong... huge parts of breaking the press are jump stopping, pivoting and pass faking. None of which he did. Add in the dribbling off his leg, the jump passes, etc and im sorry but you are dead wrong.
-

the easiest way to break a press is the pass after the.inbound pass, this is where we were lacking. Watch the tape...OK. I wouldn't wish.that on anyone..
-
Who are the announcers?
Mitch Holthus (play by play) and Mark Adams (analyst)
-
I think wojo made a good point in his post game interview with homer and Mac that our press breaking ability relies so much on Sam. He's incredibly smart, good free throw shooter, handles well for someone 6-8, and is tall enough to make passes over the top. Markus and Andrew should have been able to handle it by themselves tonight, but Sam brings so much to this team that our press breaking ability very obviously suffered when he couldn't go.
-

So Markus was fine when he was guarded loosely. Not real encouraging.
