With a week to prepare and w/out Carlino, this game may be a test for how good a coach Wojo is up to this point.

Enjoyable game to watch thus far.  Actually was happy to see Derrick take the two pull up midrange jumpers.  Made one, missed the other - but he needs to shoot that shot - and has needed to for two years.

No point in taking Sandy out with 3 fouls.  Save him for when we're down 20 with 13 minutes left in the game?  No point.

2 BS calls - the one picked up for "fouling" Pinkston, where there was no contact, and then on Arch.

Title: Re: Nova game thread
Post by: Lighthouse 84 on February 21, 2015, 02:37:33 PM
Lucky to be down under 10. We ran out of gas at the end of the half.  Hopefully we can make it thru without someone fouling out but if they keep making calls like the last one on JJJ we are going to see the twins.
Title: Re: Nova game thread
Post by: nyg on February 21, 2015, 02:37:41 PM
Bad call with JJJ,  but Nova has 12 fouls, MU has 9.

Tough for six guys to beat a more talented team, but free throws are ugh again.

NOVA is 11 for 14.  MU is 4 for 10, with Taylor missing a frontend one/one.  Not going to do it when miss those freebies.

Even though we're getting our a$$ handed to us, I'm impressed with how we're playing with only 6 guys.  If only we could hit free throws we'd be in the game.

Not the reason for losing but there are some phantom foul calls on us.

At this point, I almost call a timeout and spend the entire thing talking to the refs. Some brutal calls today. The assistants can coach the boys for 30 seconds.
Title: Re: Nova game thread
Post by: nyg on February 21, 2015, 03:13:53 PM
Nova with 16 fouls, MU with 13.

MU is 8 for 16 fits with a frontend miss, just terrible.

With six guys and with Derrick on offense, just too much of a task.  With Juan and some made free throws, it would have been closer than 17 now and maybe over 20 by game's end.  
Title: Re: Nova game thread
Post by: MattyWarrior on February 21, 2015, 03:16:56 PM
What does playing close do for us? I don't see any of our players developing this year, we got a bunch of skinny guys that can't shoot.

Again, we're playing pretty good for having 6 guys against the no. 6 team in the country. We just don't have the numbers or the horses....until next year. It would help to add a couple more playas.

Last two possessions MU doubled and Nova made nice cut passes to open players.  Stay with zone and they make threes, can't win either way.

Especially since NOVA should have been called for the foul beforehand when they were hanging onto Fisher.   The NCAA needs to improve it's officiating.  That said, shooting 50% from the foul line and missing numerous front-ends has cost MU the game.  It's completely unacceptable for college players to shoot that poorly.   Each player is responsible for fixing that on their own.

Ended 15-25 with another missed front end.   Nova was 28-36 at line and 52% from 3pt vs 34% for the Warriors.   Bottom line, we were out-shot.

This team has some good days ahead next year.

Sandy, Duane, Luke, and JJJ are a good foundation.  Hopefully Steve has a monster senior year, Wally surprises, Henry is as versatile as we hope, Cheatham can play some PG, Wojo lands another PG, and Heldt is good enough to give Luke a breather.  

But Wojo grabbing a few more guys would be nice (other than the aforementioned PG)
