I expect a total annihilation. No mickey-mousing around now, take care of business. Let's go now!

Gtown game with 4 to go. Blehh

Kam replacing OMP

Longwood down three???

I hope the close games against lesser opponents isn’t a trend

Figured that out - now this game is pissing me off lol

On the bright side, Pat Driscoll probably can’t make the trip from Connecticut to Milwaukee in 5 minutes so that’s good

Interesting. Is OMP alright?
-
Standing around on defensive rebounds apparently lead to offensive rebounds for the opponent. Who’d a thunk that?
-
Not a great start. Clean the freaking glass and move the damn basketball.
-
He only shoots when he has it. Nice
-
I would lay into this team RIGHT NOW. Four offensive rebs!!??? WTH??? BOX OUT, guys are standing around.

We’re not going to blow anyone out.

Yeah, I saw us as -20 earlier on FS1 bottom bar. That seemed too much. Though they are missing their most prolific scorer? Best player? not certain..
-
I'm furious right now.
-
Was that an actual post game net cutting photo of Shaka or an anti-perspirant commercial photo?
-
Omax has literal bricks for hands. How can this guy not even catch a basic pass?
-
Woof
-
I'm in San Diego. GAme on the radio anywhere? thanks.
-
I hope the plan is to wear them out by letting them score and rebound at will in the first half
-
Our zone trapping is absolutely brutal. It's creating wide open shots for the opponent. Get rid of it.

Stop doing the hallmark of a Shaka coached team.

It's been a disaster.

MU has started slow in every game against a lesser opponent. Why the angst?
-
morsell in a slump or really misleading first 4 games
-
Awful thirteen mins of basketball. Time to wake-up.
-
morsell in a slump or really misleading first 4 games
Look back on his stats at Maryland.
-
It took 13 minutes for Lewis or Morsell with a basket!!
-
Nice pass from KJ to JLew.
-
16 mins of complete garbage on both ends of the floor and by all metrics. There's no other way to see it. We better figure it out. Zero and Zero for our starting backcourt. Cannot happen.

Getting killed on the glass by Jackson State is not indicative of a team that's playing hard.

Spot-on, they're not. Very, very, disappointing.
-
Has the team quit on Shaka?
-
Dunk the damn ball
-
Look back on his stats at Maryland.
Also hasn’t been asked be as aggressive in these last two. Shaka is clearly trying to let the younger guys initiate to build confidence. For better or for worst. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t more ball dominant on Saturday.
-
Really disappointed with our “effort”. Outhustled at every position.
-
Really tough look for Shaka and this team. It's not shots not dropping for us. Its the atrocious defense and rebounding, mostly just because of lack of hustle thats killing us. Thought we moved past that Wojo bullcrap. Lets hope we continue to be a second half team
-

He really hasn't been on the court with the young guys.
-
McKinnis is awesome at blocking the shot of guys trying to release the shot below his waist
-
Good god Pete Gillen is so horrible. From his accent, to his cliche commentary, to his exaggeration about how good EVERYONE is, from coaches to players.
-
Nope

Didn't get it off. Figures.

He makes me long for Dicky Simpkins.

He has a few issues. :)

He really is awful. Not as awful as we were, but really awful.
-

He hasn’t been on the court much at all.
I don’t expect him to shoot very well the rest of the year but I do expect him to put up shots since he’s one of the few guys we have that can create his own. He hasn’t been aggressive at all the past two games which is the complete opposite of the first six. Has completely abandoned the mid range pull up.

painfully annoying

As if this game weren't frustrating and aggravating enough on its own merits (or lack therof) we are subjected to the high-pitched, staccato ravings of a bad Dickie V wannabe, Pete (The [Failed] Coach)
Gillen.

Omax and Morsell have barely played. This is experiment time.

Do you REALLY believe that?

Press does nothing but give teams the opportunity for easy layups or three point shots, Al would press at certain moments, that turned games around, this press, not much. Offensively, Kolek has been horrible, looks like a different player as does Morsell. OSA really improved, playing 11 guys might not be the answer.

Actually, I've always thought Gillen sounds a lot like Al as a commentator.

it's as if these guys are just going through the motions. Your point about a shorter rotation should be looked at.

Fire Wojo
-
MU is -10 on the live line if anyone is confident in a strong second half.
-
This is Shaka's style. This is a young team. This is what we signed up for.

Please, please tell us you’re kidding.

Or because they were playing very poorly.
-
I like Gillen.
-

Why not both?
-
Rebounding is pathetic. No boxing out. Start the walk ons in second half lol
-
Look back on his stats at Maryland.
I'd welcome the Maryland version of DM over what we've been seeing lately.
-
I like Gillen.
I didn’t realize Covid affected one’s hearing
-
Recency bias.
-
Why not both?
Because both doesn't make sense.

Why are Kuath, Greg and Morsell nailed to the bench? Discipline reasons?

2nd half shutout would make up for the 1st half

Bam, Bam, Bam. DM decided to wake up after a long nap. Let's go now.

Or games 1-4.

Gillen.
Man, if 9 NCAA appearances, building Xavier, smoking us on the way to the Elite Eight in 1997, and a .639 winning percentage is falling, what’s your definition of success?
-
The press got a turnover! Morsell!
-
I like Gillen.
He’s awful to listen to IMO. Always has been. Couldn’t imagine having that man as a coach.
-
I say a lot of announcers are the worst. But Gillen really is the worst.
-
Please, please tell us you’re kidding.
Only slightly. They share that Brooklyn accent, Al was certainly willing to use cliches to hype up plays and players. But, Al had real stories, and could make sense much longer than Gillen's 5 seconds.
And, I liked Al as a color guy. Gillen, not too much.
-

This guy is brutal to listen to.
-
Theo would be suspended for 2 games. Anyone else, just a common foul
-
Why are Kuath, Greg and Morsell nailed to the bench? Discipline reasons?
Performance reasons.
-

Greg might be our worst player on defense
-
His left arm came down way harder than necessary
-
Performance reasons.
Agree to disagree. Last game to let the kids learn before the gauntlet of the next 3.
-
There is no way this clown actually gets paid for this announcing? Its the worst I've heard.
-
Time to push this out. Good to see Kolek drill a 3.
-
Another poor box out. We have to clean this up, basic fundamentals.
-
JLew has vastly improved his three point shooting, but a moving three in transition may not be the highest percentage shot.
-
We love to play a fast pace but shooting threes which for the most part we’re missing with 25 seconds left in clock is crazy. Take it to the rim. Not drawing many fouls.
-
Sweet Jesus!! Catxh the ball!!!
-
JSt guy laying on the ground out of bounds reaches up to touch the ball and called out on MU. Ok
-
Great no hesitation 3 by Joplin.
-
That was nice. Two pure triples from Joplin. He may need more mins.
-
JSU's energy went to zero

Could be a big asset for Wisky gam3
-
Is GE in the doghouse?
-
Oso is going to be insanely good as an upper classmen after another good summer of lifting.
-
Ellis reminds of some random dude in a pick-up game at the Rec Center.
-
Is GE in the doghouse?
shaka clearly rather just ride the young guys
-
Much better energy. Red Bulls for everyone at half?
-
I don’t know who was more confused by the stats Gillian just went through, me or him
-
This slow start and strong second half is clearly a trend with Shaka's team. I do wonder how much of that is us wearing out the opponent by midway through the second to the point where they just can no longer keep up. If thats the goal, got to say its worked very well
-
So who had Oso as leading scorer?
-
Kolek is wildly out of control tonight
Can’t have that Saturday
-
I like Jones' potential.
-
Any word on Elliott?
-
Only slightly. They share that Brooklyn accent,
Don't think Al ever set foot in Brooklyn.
-
Elliot sure doesn’t look like he fits in with this group. Abysmal start to the year for him. Mostly his own doing.
-
Good to completely dominate this half
Wanted to see more Jop though
-
I say a lot of announcers are the worst. But Gillen really is the worst.
Listening to him, all I can picture is Nick, Carla’s husband from Cheers. Sounds identical.

Love Stevie's on-ball defense.
-

Ha. Fair enough. Me, with my Boston bias, believes there is no difference between Brooklyn and Queens accents.
-

Mitchell as well. Hopefully we see better PG play on Saturday. Honestly have liked what I've seen out of EE tonight (mixed bag, but some nice flashes on both ends).

Had two before half. None in the second. Maybe a celebratory one at the end.
-
Ellis with the loudest f-bomb I’ve heard in a while
-

Think of the difference between Archie Bunker and Ed Norton.
-
Kinda made me feel like I was watching a Wojo team tonight—butterfingers, turnovers, missed rebounds. BUT…it is nice to play so poorly and be up 30.
-
Think of the difference between Archie Bunker and Ed Norton.
Fortunately, I'm old enough to know of those two. Good example.
-
The skill level between walk-ons and scholarship players is huge...almost embarrassing sometimes.
I love to see them out there doing what I could only dream of doing!
Go MU!
-
Apologies to George Thompson- imagine Al made a few trips to Brooklyn to recruit him.
