Let's go now! Play a complete gane and be confident, poised, and relentless. Take quality shots, attack the rim, smother them to submission, and move the ball like Tues night.
Pray
Make 3's
Hope they miss 3's

Golden Eagles by 7 today! (a touchdown, in other words)
Hepburn with a few J's early. I'm not sure we need to double Crowl that early in the post.
Stevie needs to be a zero offensively if he is going to get as many minutes as he does, not a negative.
Stevie not playing with confidence
Connor Essegian is the Badgers best offensive player ... Gard doesn't care, though, for whatever reasons.
Get Oso some touches in the h-c.

Doubling the post has cost us 6pts.
Hepburn hot early. Two careless turns on MU.
badger d lot better than baylors
Not going to win if we give up 80. Have to start defending.
Shooting out of their minds
I think we're doubling the post too quickly. Has cost us 9 points. Right now Wisky is too comfortable offensively.

Can't allow that offesive reb.
Can't give a team shooting 75% second shots
Stevie is killing me offensively.
Mitchell's fast break looked like...my fast break layups
8 huge points for Chase. D up now.
Sweet pocket pass from Oso. Let's go now!
Let's get this crowd back into it...lets go!!
Good response.
Eff with them now.
We got this
Count that! LET'S GO!!
Wham, bam, thank you Kam!
Ughh. Omax has to finish there. Damn.
Can we get the defense from Tuesday back?
Badgers are a better coached team than Baylor.
Hepburn can't miss. Thatta boy Sean.
No thank you waste of air
I don't think the arc of Sean's 3 got above the top of the square on the backboard
Of course the terrible-shooting Badgers are hitting everything. Hopefully, they come back to earth in the second half.
Of course Hepburn won't miss a f'ing shot this game. Has sucked most of the year.
Quote from: NolongerWarriors on December 03, 2022, 04:00:49 PM

This is the most laughable comment in the history of the site.
We need more transition baskets. When we use the clock we are worse than a quick open good shot. Need to get focused. We are running like headless chickens lol
Wisky is 13/19 to start this game. We're fine, but can't allow offensive rebs and chippies.
What?? Bshit call on Sean.
That's a trash call.
No fouls in 12 minutes, now 4 in last 5
Hepburn does same thing, no foul
Hepburn is on complete fire.
MU has given up more wide open shots today that all game Tuesday
hate these double teams. its like we just accept giving them a wide open 3 and pray they miss.
WTH was that? Stop and take a bunny TyKo.

Lmao ok ref
Of course, Wahl hits his second three of the year against us. Ran into a whole team of Jean Felixes today.
Seriously??? The guy looks like Steph Curry.
You've got to be kidding
of course he has to have a carrer day against us. looks like markus on a hot day.
Jesus. They don't miss

There have been open ones yes but they are shooting out of their minds.
Hepburn has literally been perfect. If this continues he should declare for the draft tomorrow. As long as he comes back to earth, we'll be fine in the 2nd
Unreal percentage Wisconsin is shooting. We had caused some turnovers but didn't score on a few. Really need to make some changes at halftime expcpsoecially is shutting spdown their threes. Killing us.
11 is a big deficit with Wisconsin. Hard to play from behind with them. We have to pull this one out! Go Marquette!
MU doubling and Wisky doing the kick out for open threes. 70 % from field.
Hepburn doing a Seth Curry thing
MU made a run. Tied at 23, Omax did his spin move and missed layup, then lost man on defense for score and next possession missed wide open three. After those three consecutive plays, Shaka sat him for long time. Omax has one point and one rebound. Not good.
Looks like MU "doesn't know what hit them".
Long way to go though.
Let's hope the UW offense reverts to the mean in the 2nd half
No defense being played by blue
Crowl, Wahl, Klesmit, Hepburn and McGee a combined 15 for 16. Sure.
If the Bags shoot about 11% the 2nd half they'll hot they're season average
I feel good that we win the game. Need a quick start to start the half. We have no foul issues and can step up the pressure
Badgers and Gard brought Shaka and MU down to earth in a hurry.

Half wide open. The other half contested. A couple of them Globetrotter. They came to play but I don't even think they would think this would happen in their wildest dreams. Hopefully water will seek its level and MU comes to play in the second half.
Badgers NCAA games here last year helped them a lot.
A tale of two halves. (Hopeful premonition)
They are slicing and dicing us up
Pathetic
Really really bad. I don't see a comeback happening
5 rebounds in the entire half.
1) Hepburn has been unconscious
2) Four of their starters have not missed.
3) We have to double the post more selectively.
4) Omax and Joplin have given us nothing.
5) We will have to go medieval in the 2nd half and win the first 4 mins.

I vividly remember trying to have a rational conversation about this theory with someone.
Mitchell started on Hepburn, didn't work, then put Ross on him, didn't work, then S. Jones on him, didn't work.
Somebody better, maybe he will go 1 for next 10.
Whoa.
Alright, which one of you had the voodoo doll
Yeah, it's gonna turn around any second. Shaka didn't have MU ready to play.

Frustrating. Two missed corner 3's by OMax and the 2 missed freebies by Oso. I think I get Joplin in the game to close.
He was a good FT shooter last year.
Need a steal and a dunk!!
LET'S GOOO!!!!
Like I said!!!!!
We got this.
Why omax???
OMax short-armed that one
Another Omax 3. Not good shots
Why???? And why not get Joplin and Chase in the game for that offensive possession???
For the love of god someone other than Kam do something on the offensive end. In addition to that is...
Hepburn always holds a defender off when he has the ball - never called.
Come on
Omax missed an open three from corner minute earlier, then set play for him at top of key for three. Let Kam shoot it.....
Darn.
Nothing you can do about that.

C'mon Omax you gotta make that
Fk. Make or miss game.
I want the last minute back
So glad we stopped running high pick and roll with Oso for no reason whatsoever
MU out of gas
Guarding Wahl 30 feet away is a choice.
credit to bucky. hit their shots in ot. marquette brick fest. so many open 3s missed

It's amazing how MUs worst shooters are always the ones with the open shot. /teal
Great effort to force OT. Terrible offense in OT. Ugh!

Really?????
No idea WTH that was at all.
Awful.
Unnnhhhh!
good game. bucky played well.
WTF was that???
Worst inbound pass ever
Wow, add that to the laundry list of last second possessions MU doesn't even get an attempt
my god if o max or steveie hits one of open 3s. PAIN
Was that seriously the best in bounds play they could draw up.
Absurdly bad.
edit...twice
So much for a maestro inbound play. What was that.
Do what Bardo said, pass inbound, timeout, then 2.5 seconds from half court.
Oh well, MU had there chances
Why not inbound, take the TO, and get to take it in from half-court?
WTFFFFF????
How in the F can that happen twice???
Inexcusable.
Wahl takes over the a$$ throne from McPuncher
What the actual unnatural carnal knowledge????
Kolek should NEVER be the inbounder in an end game possession. That's on Shaka.

I couldn't agree more with this. It became the weave and heave and that's a losing formula notwithstanding Kam's triple.
I don't understand the thought process, having Kolek take the ball out, and a screener near him on the inbounds. You have such limited time to get the ball to half court. You take your fast ball handler out of the play and waste a player as a screener, basically almost playing 3 on 5 there. And they did it twice on a row!
Wisconsin was shooting out of their mind the first half.

Totally inexplicable to me DD.
At 3.5 inbounds to half court. Call a TO. With 2.0 or so, maybe a decent run off a screen for Joplin or Kam.
Oso? Love him. But work on a 12' face-up J. Would be just unstoppable. TK? Love the drives, but more touch off the glass.

Shaka admitted on the post game that they haven't really spent time with that situation. My complaint with it is it didn't seem like they were planning on using that last TO like you mentioned. I thought that was the obvious thing to do.

Kolek's problem at times is over dribbling and... unfortunate passes.
Not taking big shots renders him useless in end of game situations against good teams. I want him to take those shots. I think he will be the biggest reason we get over the hump in these types of games by the end of the season.
They sagged off him last year. They will do it again if he is reluctant to take those shots.
Take them Tyler! You are theoretically a better shooter in practice than Omax or Stevie. If Kam or Jop is open next to you, pass it!

Huge problem at the end of games though. Limits options. Defenders can sag off. You know, Derrick Wilson stuff.
True. Maybe someone else will step up to upgrade the PG position.
Does Travis have any eligibility left?
UW pushed their defense out because his issues are when he drives, not when he shoots. Defenses aren't going to sag off Kolek.
He just needs to be an option to shoot when he is open, especially at the end of games. Otherwise there is only one starter on the floor who can shoot. Not good. I want to see more games like Tyler had in the second half against MSU. The Tyler we've been hearing about all offseason in practice.
That Tyler shows up at the end of games, MU is in business. Can't be afraid to shoot. Had the look tonight at the end of the game and let two other lesser shooters take it.
I'd prefer Oso works on his free throw shooting before he works on a mid range jumper.
If TK could develop a floater shot, he'd be awesome. He clearly can get to the lane, just can't finish or find great options other than pass to the top of the key.

Shooter is right. He was reluctant to shoot and Mitchell is always hesitant. That top of the key three no one was within 6 feet of him and he did not shoot it off the catch with any confidence whatsoever.. And if you're touting TyKo's 3pt percentage than why did he take so few of them and a total of 6 shots.? We cannot have two of our three guards on the floor, in the clutch, terrified to shoot the ball.

I think Tyler is the guy on the roster. He just has to be willing to take big shots for MU to be really good in end game situations.

My lord.
He's not "terrified" to shoot the ball.

He took one three Fluffy. 6 freaking shots? He has to be a scoring option especially with Mitchell on the floor.

Did you watch the game???
UW's defense extended on him so he would put the ball on the floor because that's where he gets into trouble.
Now that it has sunk in I'm more upset about this loss than I originally thought. And it honestly has nothing to do with the rivalry. That's a team you have to beat on your home floor. Hopefully we punk Notre Dame and play our A Game vs Creighton the 16th.

He "gets in trouble" when he is hesitant. Are you saying he picks up assists without dribbling?

Oy.
Try to be consistent OK? You first said "terrified." Now you are saying "hesitant." Those are different.
To go back to the original point. Defenses aren't sagging off of TK. In fact, if anything, they are overplaying his outside shot right now.

Is he the only player that teams extend or overplay? 3/4 of our starting perimeter players made a total of one shot beyond 2 feet. That's not gonna do it against halfway decent teams. They have to be a threat to score in tight games.

Keep shifting the goalposts....

I'm not shifting anything, they have to be a threat to score. If not it puts way too much pressure on Kam and OMax.

It blows my mind how we can lose when we have better athletes and a better coach.
I don't know about that latter part today.
Yeah, at some point Gard's gotta get his due.

I don't know that either of those things are true.
UW wins games in March every season. We are just trying to get back to doing that. Shaka has a very tough task with this team though.
The looks have been there in the 3 close games, but we just don't have guys to knock them down. UW, MS State, Purdue all L's. Could be some tough weeks ahead too with the gauntlet starting at ND, but I think the growth is the important thing.
Maybe we pull out a win in our 4th attempt at a close game.

Seriously? "better athletes and better coaching"? Ever give a consistently better program its due? Consistency matters. Remind us again how many tournament games MU has won since 2013?
Hepburn plays the entire game today, you lose by 15...there's always "next year" 'lil' brother...

Better coach? We were literally doubling Carter bleeping Gilmore when he got the ball in the post.
