Let's go now. Time for another hammer performance. Revenge after that debacle vs the Huskies at Fiseev. We can do this!!
Wojo sticking with Elliott over McEwen in the starting line-up.
I can't stand Hurley. Lets do this
It would be super cool if Garcia could stop shooting 3s with his foot on the line
Wow.....tremendous drive and kick DJ to GE!
Cain out of sorts early. Calm down.
Decent start. DJ aggressive early. We need to move the rock though and get some touches inside.
Justin makes it known hes back.
Be cool to see a brawl, aina?
welcome back Lewis!!!!
Wow...offensive foul by JLew? Ughhh.
DG should have gone strong there and take the rim down.
Gotta take the bad with the good with Lewis today.
Anyone else having issues with the quality of the broadcast?
UConn really extending the pressure

That or a stop and pop from 8 feet would be nice given how he doesn't finish very well.
Some please teach carton to not Telegraph bounce passes at the top of the key.
JP is not bashful. Wow.
Offense is full slop yet again.
Just Brando's rooting for UConn

I didn't realize that Carton's a/to ratio was so bad but being 1:1 as highly touted as he was is pitiful
Wojo pissed about not getting calls inside.
Worrisome line-up....can we get a few mins with KM, ST, and JP?
Our guys are not afraid to shoot.
UCONN best defensive team in the league IMO
MU is now hedging and recovering on the high pick and roll. Trying to avoid the bad mismatch?
Quote from: 4everwarriors on February 27, 2021, 01:50:18 PM

Probably. UConn are a bunch of hackers.
Way too much dribbling and the weave and heave. Use our bigs.

Setting it up to lure Symir and Jose into shooting 3s certainly adds to the perception.
Nothing in paint yet.
Awful stretch of hoops. Can't play this line-up.
Garcia silent first 10 minutes
UConn has a fan working the clock.
Zero patience from Theo. Probs.
We cant score on these guys.
We havent scored since Koby entered the game.
Nothing for Garcia?
Sy throws a floater 25 mph off the back board from 4 feet out.
Could he start for Pine Bluff??
Koby is terrible
Nice block out Koby
Uconn scoring at will in the paint
About to be a bloodbath.
I like Brando but his enthusiasm over UCONN baskets is bothering me. A lot.
Time to punch back!
Quote from: Henry the 6th Kings on February 27, 2021, 02:05:01 PM
Nice block out Koby
That was straight up embarrassing. Just has zero awareness in all parts of his game
Their physicality is the story. This could get ugly if we do not ger it together and match the intensity.
That was a very long stretch without a dead ball. DJ and Greg were sitting at the scorer's table for 4 minutes of play.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on February 27, 2021, 01:53:36 PM

I have an issue with the quality of our offense.
5 & 6 min. scoring droughts is on the coach. Come on, pound it. If nothing else, get some throws.
5:30 without a dead ball. Subs waiting to come in.
Jeesh. Does Perez think he has to shoot every tone he gets the ball? WTF??
Are we just totally incapable of blocking out?
If Justin can be healthy for MSG
We need to go back to the old rotaton. With Greg and Koby swapping minutes
Perez and Sy are terrible. Koby is simply a last resort back up.
Getting our doors blown off since these schmucks got in.
Theo and Garcia catching a blow. UConn suddenly speeding up. Good strategy.
Stop shooting Perez
Quote from: tower912 on February 27, 2021, 02:09:33 PM
5:30 without a dead ball. Subs waiting to come in.
Should have called a t-o.
What do we have 4 points in 11 mins?
19-4 run. Pathetic.
Damn, I allowed myself to feel hopeful after UNC. Well, long way to go, let's go MU!
4-20 run.
Ouch
Gotta get Greg and Garcia back in there and get the ball on the perimeter to Garcia and let him either shoot or create.
Good God is Perez a stiff
4 points in last 11 minutes
6 field goals made, 8 turnovers
Perez hurting them
4 times shot clock down to 2 seconds, nothing.
Symir is 5 for 34 from three now on season. 14%
Now 9 turnovers.
We have no freaking clue how to attack their traps. Extremely upsetting.
Does Perez ever not shoot?
The lack of ball for Garcia is troubling
Amazed Brando can speak with what UCONN appendage he has in his mouth.

We haven't made over-aggressive teams pay under the whole of Wojos tenure
Carton/Torrence/Perez/Cain: 0/11 shooting thus far.
Carton and Garcia combining for 3 points!! That's why were losing
Sorry, but we'd be a much better team if Perez and Koby just left the team for good. They don't fit at all with this group.

An absolute s-show right now.
This officiating is awful.
Not sure if the officiating is worse, or our play. Both ugly.
Ballgame.
I'm gonna spend rest of my day doing something better.
Ok - safe to put away the NC game as NC played terrible, marq sucks, and back to firing Wojo?
Maybe this will be a reverse of the last game against them?!?!
We are crapping the bed with our olay defense
Just getting schooled now.
29-8 run.
I would rather have Koby in there than Cain
Bouknight laughing at us. We have to toughen up to put it mildly.
That dunk play is the worst D I've ever seen MU play.
I might be ok with Theo punching Hurley in this game.

Cain actually grabs rebounds.
Koby just turns it over and stands there watching.
Unless you would rather we lose by 50 instead of the 35 we are on pace to lose by. Then Id choose Koby.
Quote from: Boone on February 27, 2021, 02:13:17 PM

But he practices so well according to Wojo!
Sorry for missing the huge second half comeback, but I'm out.

First time for everything I guess
Insert we suck again gif!
The hope was fun while it lasted!
Anyone really think Wojo can recruit or coach after watching this half?
This is what bad coaches do. They can't maintain any momentum or shift gears when the next opponent is entirely different than the previous. Wojo is the highest paid cheerleader in the world.
Roy Willians must feel like an idiot
UConn is a tough well coached team. They may be the best team in the BigEast when healthy.

Terrible shooting and too many turnovers - the story of the season.
Marquette doing marquette things
Piss poor coaching by Wojo. Offensive was looking good the first few minutes then brought in a terrible lineup for a long stretch and Perez, Sy, etc just jacking wild shots.
The NC win was cute...back to an embarrassing joke.
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 27, 2021, 02:21:34 PM

Laughing at Cain guarded him and tripping on his feet. Cain to NBA, never. Boucknight yes.
10 points in last 15 minutes. 8 field goals, 10 turnovers.
Game over when Jackson went end to end with dunk and four MU players standing still with back turned. In the real old days, Jackson would have been on his butt. No way he does that. Wojo should have called timeout and pulled everyone on floor to bench. Terrible

I think it's fair to say that the last 15 mins of hoops is a microcosm of the entire Wojo era. Totally inexcusable by every metric and fair analysis. Getting out-toughed, out-worked, and haven't responded at all. MU fans have every right to be angry.
I'm going to go with a 2nd half comeback. MU wins 61-60 on a last second Kobe step-back WTF is he doing...ok yeah that works kind of shot.
From 11-6 up to 38-21 down at the half. 32-10 after our solid start. Barring a spectacular comeback, we can put any at-large discussion to bed. It was already a thin hope, but losing today means it's BET title or bust.

The trio of KM, ST, and JP was head scratching. And it was a long stretch. Now, they didn't blow us out during that period but we lost any semblance of an offense.
Tough to come back against UConn for MU. We have played no aspect of the game well so far. Very slow on everything.
No one knows what to do when the other team plays hard.

When Carton came out, they went on something like a 10-0 run. Shows that Carton absolutely needs to be on the floor.
Let's see a reverse of game 1!

If anyone legitimately thought this team was running the table to close out the regular season, then their fandom emotionally compromised their logic. This team has been consistently inconsistent, but always dependable in turning the ball over and going long stretches without being able to score (and still unable to beat pressure defenses).
A roller coaster season for sure.

On the other hand...Carton is 0-6 from the floor...
Again, we consistently fold against physical guards who ball-pressure. This isn't new. It honestly looks like we have never seen a trap. No words can describe that 32-10 "run". Utter garbage.
Same old chit. Wonder if Woj paid Roy to lay down for him, hey?

Good grief!! Have you ever seen a team struggle so much at in bounding the ball??? WTF??? Smh.
FIX THE FUCKING INBOUND PLAYS
Wojo benches DJ to begin the 2bd half.
God, Jamal shoulda stayed in MKE.
Ha....Wojo finally disciplined someone. Pulled Carton after 20 seconds for throwing inbound ball away.
That wasn't a foul on McEwen. Jeesh.
Koby didn't touch him
This is awful! Seven wasted years!

Yes, everyone gets it. Save it for the Fire Wojo threads.
Should have been an and 1 for Theo.
This team is so fundamentally flawed, it's pathetic, aina?
How were Koby and Sy top 100 recruits?
MU has struggled to match the intensity and toughness of the other team consistently under Wojo. They always play like the physically weaker team. It's very evident today.

Where did these referees come from? Not the same crew from first half.
Carlton fouled there. But then we allowe a long reb. Smh.
This dude has got to go. I said 3 years ago, I'd seen enough. You can't swing like a pendulum, game to game. Its all on the coach...from recruiting to offensive and defensive schemes. He just doesn't have what it takes at this point in time to continue at MU. Adios to you and the horse you rode in on. Next man up, aina?

You should have consulted with Tamu before posting this.
Koby getting PG minutes instead of Symir in the second half.
Lewis is the real deal. No hesitation on that posession

I think the Markus "one man show" set this team back. Not enough team involvement on both ends of the floor We should be better next year.
Why not go at there center with 4 fouls?
Brutal gane from Carton. Wow.
DJ just killing us today.
Get Lewis back in there. He has the muscle we need down low

Nah. Me and you been around here long time. Game thread used to be fun, but like all other threads, they morph into The Wojo demise. Sorta naseum.
I feel ya, kin
We look much better playing up-tempo. Glad Wojo has us slowing things down all the time.
The two best players are freshman,and the next guy is a sophomore who sat out a year,that why they are where they are
Greg took a grand total of 1 shot after his two early threes. Did he get injured?
Give Torrance extended minutes rest of year to see what he can do. No need to give those minutes to McKewen
It's come to this...I'm beggin' to finish .500 on the year. Dang
Can Wojo take notes on how to make the other team pay against the press?
did uconn have one TO in the second half wtf. our press cant get one
Wojo got a nice up front view on how to not look embarrassing against a press.
