Yup, nearing the end of the line.
Wow...can't believe Kam didn't give that up. Whew.
Successful first 35 seconds
do we only have white unis this year?
Oso looks 5'10"
OSO!! All day!!
I'm....impressed with MU so far
Excellent ball movement and start offensively.
Pretty good 1st 4!

We have the depth to do it all game?
Don't know why we haven't seen O-Max at the point of the press..
TK's layup was a heave.
Kolek has to make that shot. Wide open 5 footer.
Omax has to hit those wide open shots (easy for me to say)
Getting great looks.
Let's go now.
Oso has got to be ready for the ball at the free throw line and able to score that. What a pass by Jop.
And Omax has got to hit wide open corner 3s. Its the easiest shot in the game outside a damn paint lay up or dunk.
RAF: He can make this (Brick)
RAF: He can shoot it (Brick)
Not sure about that charge call.
College refs are egregiously bad at block / charge calls.
Yeah, Sean needs not to take that shot.
Cannot ask for better looks. Have missed 4 straight wide open threes and the two Kolek shot putts.
Joplin with some awful minutes. Nice offensive rebound, but otherwise out of control offensively and out of position defensively.
The good news is we are getting good shots literally every time down the floor
Bad news is outside of Kam every single outside shot is a total brick.
Keep running good offense and hit some shots.

Spot-on. Ar worst we should be up 9. We can't throw away opportunities.
Purdue has nothing besides Shrek and it seems to be OMax and Oso are doing a nice job bothering him with their length.

Anyway, get rid of the charge call. In all of basketball. It's not defense. It's trash.

Dumb foul by Ben
WTF was that??
Wow another huddle where were not screaming about effort. Shaka is shocking
Love the energy tonight
Thatta boy Stevie.
Sit Jop for a few mins.
Incredible contrast in that huddle. Tangible, executable, deployable advice that applied to the current game.
Do less, Jop.
It's the opposite Joplin from the last game

Joplin singlehandedly kept Purdue in the game and changed the momentum for them.

Make a shot boys!
Had enough of Joplin this half
Oso doing yeomans work

I don't mind Shaka letting him get multiple opportunities...not yanking him after a few missed shots. But yielding the loose ball and trying to do too much off the dribble..enough for a half.
Great job by Oso fronting Edey.
Kolek!!!
MU is making Edey look very unathletic
Don't let Purdue's guards go hard right.
Kolek with two beautiful possessions
But hes gotta retire that little one handed fading bank shot. Woof
Wrightsil is in way over his head at this level.
Two brutal possessions. Time to refocus.

1.4 games.
Didn't play the 2nd game.
Crean would have us up by 20
That should have been #2 on Edey
That's the second time we didn't give the ball up 2 on 1. But keep fighting.
Need to stop launching bricks and keep getting it into the middle. Edey is on roller skates when we do that.
The Kolek/Oso two man game is a beauty.
Also Edey could have like 4 over the backs right now, he has 1.
Painter knew Kam's 3 was good before he released it
Big three there by Kam. He hust needs a little help from downtown. Tremendous effort by MU on the glass this half.

Been good on the glass. Jop was sloppy with the rock but got 5 boards
He's not really over the back. He's just a ginormous human being who can get rebounds even when you have him blocked out well.
Great effort on the boards. We'll win more games than I thought if we put in this effort on the glass all season.
Purdue 40% from 3 as a 26% team year to date..like the way we are positioned..
It's about hitting open shots. All in all the effort is there as well as the strategy.
I don't know how good Wrightsil will be at the end of the year. I have seen enough transfers into MU start slow and finish strong to know there is no f-ing way I am giving up on him on November 15. After he had knee surgery. And missed practice after getting an injection in the surgically repaired knee.
How often does this board make the same idiotic, over reactive mistake. It is honestly embarrassing.
sure he isnt athletic but damn kolek looks good. he knows how get past his man and maniuplate the d to get a decent or pass for a good look. solid player. also kam thinks hes steph lol
Love Kam's mentality, but he can get a bit trigger happy.

I agree..ridiculous to judge Wrightsill at this stage...let's see if he's contributing in Februay..he might..me may not but he's a winner of a kid and personality.

First time watching the team this year.
I'm impressed. The amount of speed and energy is outstanding.
Oso is REALLY good
Can't rely on Kam all game
Like how the team was prepared for this game. Lots of Hustle on Defense .When the fellas move the ball good things happen on offense.

Wades, you and I were the most pessimistic in the predictions and I had the same exact thought.
We've been great on the glass, taking care of the ball, and pretty solid defensively. Again, it's about buckets. We need someone other than Kam to make some perimeter shots.
We have not got a lot inside. So need to hit 3s and yes someone else needs to step up. Need Jop to hit a few. I think Purdue will feed Edey the whole second half. Hopefully we have a plan. Marquette Pretty tough so far Go MRquette!

My only gripe with him is that he shoots scared in the paint, not comfortable at all.
Good half, my only worry is we didn't do anything while Edey was sitting.
Muggs
It comes down to us making the shots. Plenty of wide open looks. If they get hot, they win the game.
Defense will need to win this game
How many fouls does oso have?
Here comes the ogre takeover.
Marquette is going to be a bad 3 pt shooting team.
The form on each shot varies with too many guys. One guy had a wide, wide open 3 and so much time to shoot it and his elbow flared out to the side and you knew it was a brick as soon as he released it.
This Shrek character is actually not even good at basketball. Just large.
Purdue has the energy now
It looks like we may have an idea what the Purdue adjustment was.
Change in momentum right now.
Oso overpowered Edey. I enjoyed typing that
Never mind
Brutal.
Kam isn't very good. He just shoots a lot.
pulling away
Edey being this involved is going to easily win
Good time out. Need to draw fouls. Not many called on Purdue.

He can't play 20 minutes...he'll be worn down if they don't spell him at least 5 minutes this second half.
Did Oso shrink at halftime?
Joplin absolutely has to be the guy if we have a shot.
If Shaka is the great coach we all think he is let's see if can make adjustments to counter Edey.
JOP
2nd half Joplin>1st half Joplin
There's the Jop we need!
Hahahahahaha
Bad shot there by Kam.
That Kam runner is the new photo in the dictionary for dumb shot

Tacko Fall was out of the NBA in 2 years. I think Edey will be similar, maybe 3-4 years ish.

We're right there. Tremendous 4 mins from Jop. Can we get multiple guys cooking?
Alright Shaka should have Shrek cornered now. I've seen the same step across the lane turnaround about 18 times now. Easy win from here boys.

Shaka, buddy, go with the Havoc. Don't let Purdue set up.

I WAS TOLD PURDUE CAN'T SHOOT. THEY DON'T MISS!
RAF saying he can make this is the kiss of death tonight
Get Joplin back on the floor.
Purdue just doing more to win.
You need to recruit shooters.
MU can play with all the effort in the world, but if you brick wide open shots, it doesn't matter.
How the F was Kam's shot blocked
Why didn't anyone go with Kolek on that breakaway?
lot of star plays made by smith
This was a very winnable game that MU is going to lose.
Way too many missed opportunities. Very frustrating, especially the missed corner threes. We also have allowed easy guard downhill drives the last few possessions.
Good grief - Smith making some major league garbage shots.
Damn, that block May have changed the outcome.
It's almost like teams have scouting reports that show which players you can live with shooting open shots.
I've resorted to sitting on the floor. If this doesn't help MU, I've got nothing else to offer.
We don't stop anybody.
Even with Edey out they just ran it up on us.

Agree with this analysis..
Shooting ability matters, folks.
Going to be too easy to guard MU when you can leave guys wide open because you know a brick is on it'sway.
Stunned Joplin isn't on the floor.
Omax has had a bad game
Smith is killing us! Focus.
He stepped out...
Well that was a great 30 minutes of basketball
Damn
Kolek 1/6 quitting shooting!!
1 for our last 12. Enough said. Not winning games down the stretch if you can't score.
welp this team showed alot of good. they will finish above 9th in the big east. suck to lose this one tho
Ballgame.
Fight was ok. Just don't have the DUDES yet. Hopefully they grow up fast because the Big East will be tougher than that.
Kolek is the exact same player as last season.
Zero improvement in his shot.
Fk!!!
my god brutal finish.. jeez 1 of 14
Completely lost our poise and 1 for fking 14 down the stretch. Infuriating.
Welp...at the end of the day, you gotta make shots, and they stopped doing that.

I didn't think they would cover,but wow!
We can learn from this game but this was so winnable. Extremely disappointing.
Well, one team ran out of gas. What a great performance until it wasn't. Up 9 to down 9 in like 5 minutes. Now we know we can rebound!
Every game they have scoring droughts usually by chucking threes.
Two points in last 7 minutes. Believe 1 for 15 from field. That's brutal.
Tw points for final 8 minutes, is that even possible.
Ball game.
Why wasn't that a flop call!?!
First lesson is that you can't go scoreless the final five minutes of the game and expect to win.
They will be fine. They played well enough to win for the most part. Weren't able to execute down the stretch.
Shaka is choosing to recruit guys that simply cannot shoot the basketball. I don't care if they're great "culture" guys. He needs scorers.
This was like a Rocky movie where the opponent punches and punches until it looks like Rocky is out for the count before he miraculously finds his energy and whales on the opponent into submission. Unfortunately, MU wasn't Rocky tonight

Nothing is over!!
Sht.
It was a tough final 10 minutes but on the whole I'm fairly encouraged by the first 3 games. This could be a fun team to watch develop.
meh....
We covered=Win
A game they could have won and probably should have won. Biggest question mark for me is how they stay away from long scoring droughts. On a positive note, they get a lot of open looks and I think that will be trend all season.
I really wish Ross had made that shot from the corner with about ten to go. Great look and thought he made it. That goes in, we likely win the game.

Goose, I mentioned the drought problem and taking good looks in a thread yesterday and it somehow led to an attack on short people. There was a time in the game where we drove it into the teeth of their D 4 straight times. Stop and pop from 6 feet or take the floater.

Shooters shoot. Kam was hitting at the beginning of the game, and kept shooting. Joplin wasn't hitting at the beginning of the game. They both kept shooting, and results switched for both.
Hard game.
Again, this team struggles to score in the half-court. If Mitchell and OMax can't score it's a serious problem.

Shooters shoot. Kam was hitting at the beginning of the game, and kept shooting. Joplin wasn't hitting at the beginning of the game. They both kept shooting, and results switched for both.
Hard game.
.
Especially since they were the only two whoi could make a shot.

Every game they have scoring droughts usually by chucking threes.
Two points in last 7 minutes. Believe 1 for 15 from field. That's brutal.
Tw points for final 8 minutes, is that even possible.
And yet I was ridiculed relentlessly for pointing this out yesterday. Cannot just launch indiscriminately when we need buckets.
Muggs it is not personal, people like to joke around. As for the offensive droughts, get used to it. Shaka is a D minded coach and up tempo, sone times that type of play will lead to offensive droughts, specially if our point guard is having a hard time shooting from the outside. Kolek hits 2 of those 3's and game would have been different down the stretch. Kolek is great and I love how he plays but needs to be a threat from outside else, teams will adjust like they did last year.

Yeah. This is Markus all over again. Does Kam take some aggressive shots? Sure. What's the alternative though? A tentative OMax trying to straight line drive into a waiting 7'4" guy? Well...

I'm with you wades. I'm generally ok with Kam's boldness, though I agree with Shaka that some of his "from outer space" shots might need to be reconsidered.
As always, our outside shooting would likely improve if we were consistently more effective at slashing and forcing the D to compress.
Purdue shot 16 Free Throws in the 2nd Half. Marquette shot 0 Free Throws in the 2nd Half
Until Joplins at the end.

One team attacked the hoop. The other shot jumpers.

I want Kam to shoot a lot. That doesn't include shots 5 feet outside the three point line with 20 seconds on the shot clock. I think we (and he) can do better.
It's sickening watching another poor shooting Marquette team. Kiosk looks the same as last year, a left handed Driver but he can't score.

Fantastic
He's right though. Kiosks can look them same year after year.

Need to refresh exterior promotions and decorations to change look.

Honestly, I don't trust left-handed drivers either. They always take wider turns
And when the make the wide turns around kiosks, other shoppers pay the price.

Oh...when he capitalized "Driver" I thought he meant Donald Driver. Which confused me.
What if he meant Diener?

Donald likes to drive strange to his bedroom while portraying himself as a family man but that's another topic
