Seriously? Lockett's making great cuts to get open, but he's not making his shots (0-7), and he's failed to get back on D a couple of times. I'll agree on Taylor, but Lockett hasn't earned much more time than Jamil right now.

If seeing Steve Taylor perform strongly in his role isn't enough to get Jamil motivated - not sure what will.

Lockett needs to see a few shots go in, but at least the guy is playing hard...which it just doesn't seem like Jamil does.

MU is 0 for 9 from three.  

Give kudos to Taylor who has picked up the slack due to foul trouble.

Lets see if J. Wilson even takes a shot in second half (been a game and a half) or if Lockett can make a shot.

It was GREAT to see Steve T get the ball at the high post.  He looked so gosh darn confident with it and did exactly the right thing.  Result:  High percentage 15 footer and score.  Now, let's do it more and I agree with the previous comment that JW has to somehow be motivated by the coaching staff to do the same damn thing.  

Way to go Steve! ;D

BTW - I think DG could be effective at the high post as well.  He has a nice touch from 15.

Lockett makes a three and yes, J. Wilson with an offensive foul. No basket.  Just terrible. 

Then he leaves his man open for a three on the other end.  How is he this bad?

Vander, Lockett and Junior all had good opportunities to dump it to Gardner on right block and chose not to, instead launching 3's (with the exception of Lockett.)  Awful.

Gardner has gave up a lot today he gets tire and then does nothing.  He gave up at least 10 points on D, because he got tired and gave up.  Did the same at the end of the half on O.

He's important to this team and his FTs have kept us in this, but he has not had a good game. Maybe he is sick.

MU shoots two for 16 from three and wins.  One the Junior dagger, the other Blue banker.  Wow.

Lockett does nothing whole game and then has a block and big rebound. Good for him.

Wilson had 7 rebounds and MU beat UCONN on boards by 12.  

Napier goes ballistic.  Do teams ever do the "box and one" anymore?
