Hm, I agree. And while the bench will* get more play today - I doubt LIU is going to help them get BE ready.
* they better!
I'd like to see Wrightsil and Jones the Younger have a productive game.

Would be slightly surprised if MU plays a good game tonight. Has trap game written all over it. Though trap game in this case is "only win by 15" vs actually losing the game.

I was skewered on Scoop for positing the Exhibition games and Cupcake games NOT at The Al are good prep for the young guys. The CMU game was a good gadget game, the bench played great. They were MIA against Purdue while Purdue's youngins put their earlier stinkers behind them.
Small point but valid despite the Scooper Intelligencia thoughts.

This is the worst play by play I've heard since I tuned in for a high school game on YouTube when Dawson Garcia played for my buddy in MN.
These blues look more turquoise than they did in the past.
Nice spin and finish from Kam.
Keep attacking the rim at will.

Now OMax decides to show up...
Just kidding, kind of
Turquoise? Gimme a break.

I'd rather he didn't just show us the dribble of his own foot
I know we need to give transfers time to settle in, but I dont think many of our transfers have looked as bad as Wrightsil has early this season. Hope he turns it around soon because we'll probably need him.

We should be at +25 at the half.. Minimum.
Silly comment by Bardo about Rod Strickland. "Best finisher underneath the rim in NBA history." Oh....okay.
Make a damn free throw.
Whistle fest.
Obvious hook by TK and completely unnecessary.

We are technically losing right now.
Sean needs to learn some D.
reminds me of a De Paul game...we play down to our opponent
My goodness....why Kam??
we shoot from 1/2 court now
Someone needs to remind kam hes not required to shoot wherever he catches the ball. Dribbling is an option lol
Oso with a superb all around half.

Wondering why Chase Ross hasn't gotten more tick this half. Felt like he was in for a minute then got yanked. Must have missed an assignment or something
Quote from: Newsdreams on November 17, 2022, 08:09:01 PM

Would love to see him shot fake more often, get into the lane and ball reverse. That would get the ball moving at lighting speed.
I know it's only 3.5 games into his college career, but I don't see anything in Jones that makes me think he is a BE player.
A lot of launching after one pass. Move the freaking basketball.
last minute has been a brick fest
Some ugly 3'a going up. We're not growing.

Right. There's absolutely nothing to take from this game. But if I wasn't watching and just read this thread I'd think we were in a tight one.
No words can describe that shot attempt from ZW. Pass the fking basketball.
Sit Gold and get in his grill.

He has been playing alot, along with Sean Jones and Wrightsill. More Ross, less Wrightsell please.
Ben Gold hit his first three pointer few games ago and now has missed his last ten. Ten......
In Shaka's system, no problem, just keep them threes going, soon they will fall. Keep on throwing them up.
LIU terrible, their starters may foul out. Good experience for bench as Shaka will soon cut rotations before BE play.
for a team with no shooters we like to chuck 3's. if this is the offense i'm not sure why our coach doesn't recruit some guys that can actually shoot

Seriously need to win by close to 30 else not good
Kam's dribble is too high.
Shaka treats Kam like Wojo treated Markus. But Markus was a First Team All American flame thrower while Kam is maybe a Honorable Mention All Big East player in 2 years?
We're on our way, win by 40
It's obviously not gonna matter in this game, but they're taking way too many threes. This is the kind of game where you should work on ball movement.

Completely agree. I also don't really get why Oso is bringing the ball up so much.
still have some hope stevie omax and kolek can be at least decent 3pt shooters

But this the Shaka game plan and has been since his arrival at MU. Average over 30 attempts per game. If they hot, they can win. Joplin saved them from blowout from Purdue with his hot second half. Right now 4 for 16.
LIU is brutally bad, maybe worst team they have played in years.
Oso is the only player that stands to me as clearly improved through 3.5 games. Can't wait to see him the next few years.

That's not really a flop. It's just bad defense. But there was clearly contact between the two players.

Not that LIU was ever going to be a great opponent. But missing one of their main guards isn't helping the competition level.
Time for the walk-in's.
Only 8 assists for Kiosk.

Have you ever understood sarcasm about leaving starters in a blowout?
edit: but since you made me look (at Kenpom, not NET, since it's not published early season), last year against cupcakes...MU started 87, after beating SIUe dropped to 90, after beating New Hamshire dropped to 95...skip ahead...entered playing N Ill. as 78, dropped to 83 after the win, then finally up to 78 after beating Jackson State. Overall, scoring margin didn't help out computer #s early - so I'll take this as a win this year. #'s have improved after every game.
