We had the Chicago State game in hand pretty much the whole time, and it was a nice feeling. But late in the second half, I thought we'd see Wojo push the guys to mix up the offense a little bit to try to work on the interior game or to at least try to get something going inside the three point line, and we never really did. I was happy to see the younger guys get some minutes, but wouldn't this be a good time to improve on some weaknesses too? I'll admit this might be overly critical because I'm still not sold on Wojo, but I wanted to see something other than launching 40 threes against our worst opponent on the schedule.
I feel like a solid basketball practice would do more to improve different looks then 10 minutes of garbage time against Chicago State.
We tried what looked like a 1-3-1
If wojo was asking guys to do anything at the end of the game, I hope 100% of his requests were about defense!

I think you found your answer.
We were barely up in the 2nd half
(The line was 28.5)
Up more than 20 with 8 scholarship guys and the week MU has coming up, Wojo did exactly what he was supposed to do - give the kids some rest and avoid an injury.

I can agree with this. That makes a lot of sense.

Yep, not sure if it was a little different than the first half, which might have been an attempt at a 3-2 and was terrible. But they zoned for a few possessions in the second half and it seemed to work out ok. Anything that gets stops is fine by me.
Well, Wojo has done a 1-3-1 in the past. Remember Derrick running the baseline? I didn't record the game. Who did that? Cain could be a candidate maybe.
