Slater just picked up #2 at seven minute mark. He sits
MU can't get lead with those two not playing, we'll.....


Maybe Omax, Kolek and Oso can score more than three total points so far.

Ben Gold on defense against Moore was terrible decision by Shaka, strange.

1-3 from the floor with Dixon out of the game, 3 shots?  He's gotta start getting shots up at the rim.

They have absolutely no one that should prevent him from getting where he wants.

Dixon sits for 6 minutes
Nova has 11 turnovers AND the lead.  Oh boy...

Omax again with bad first half, one point, one rebound.  But he has shown second half player.  Same with Oso and terrible Joplin.  Thank goodness Kam Jones played.

MU did not take advantage of those Nova players sitting and hope it does not bite them at the end.

Up 4 and a good look at a dunk. OMax drops it.  They go the other way and hit 2 uncontested 3s and get a big boy layup in Oso's face.

Omax has been outstanding on defense as the team picked up the pressure. Clamping down on the bigs Nova is relying on right now.
