Oso zero points
Omax four points
Kolek two points

Not gonna do it with those points in second.  MU bailed out by Mitchell having career half and Kam, who is not bashful.  That last three attempt from almost half court not good.

Sean Jones and Joplin also below par big time.  Jones keeps driving and getting swatted and Joplin not hitting, yet.

With all that and rebounding defienecies, not a bad situation.

If we hit a few more of our open looks we would be winning.   Can't go 2-3 minutes or more without scoring.    But still in the game

If Shaka recruited guys that could actually shoot?

Yep, MU would be winning.

Very happy to be wrong. They held really tough. This win is going to look good at the end of the year I feel. Room to improve, but great job pulling out the win!
