Yawn.
Kill em.
Y'all
MU won't cover. This combined with Michigan scrimmage loss will cost MU 3 seeds.
Jop SOTG
Newsie
Who?
Over/under on walk-on points: 2.5
Mike Jones
Submerge SU!!! LFG!!!
Stevie SOTFFM
Some nice shooting and some yuck shooting. Jop needs to hit so he gets going, Stevie is having a great game. Nice strike by Kam,
I respect the Southern uniforms.
Jop needs to find his game.
The secondary players have got to hit these wide open shots.
Stevie, Jop, Sean. THey are getting dream looks. Make them
Getting burned off the bounce.

100% spot-on.
I can't tell if these are moving screens by Southern or just following their blocker through the line of scrimmage
D up in tbe half-court!
Krimeny
Offense looks great. Defense not.
Excited to see Zaide and Tre get some run. Especially with Kam battling a knee injury according to the broadcast.
No Stud of the Second Round when we lose
We are not playing to crush this team. We seem a bit slow on D these last few minutes. We will settle down and make it happen.... Get Kam and Ben some shots. Ben needs to start hitting those 3s. This is the game to do it!
LFG!! Good mins from Ben.
Ben with a couple nice rebounds
Perhaps that gets Jop going.
Gold Stud of the Third Round
Lowery is playing well. Very tough on D. Nice to see him get some run

Ben looks awesome and Zaide provides a lot of length and athleticism. I could see both of them stealing minutes from Joplin as the season progresses if Jop continues to look 1 step slow.
Joplin has great value as a scorer for this team, but we have a list of guys that can make an impact.
Stevie can get that shot at will. Nice attack by Jones the Elder.
No need for Oso to rush that and then he picks up a cheap foul.
First foul of the game for us was Oso on offense there.
Tough to foul when Southerns offense is to either not shoot it or launch a 3.
Criminy! I will not correct anyone's spelling or punctuation And I will not lecture you about basketball strategy tonight. You're welcome. Enjoy the game. I will climb back on my high horse this Saturday. This game is a team builder. It's good to be back home.
11 on fire for SU.
That shot earns Kam SOTFR
Kam with a pretty good half.

Shots like Markus. Also, plays defense like Markus.
Get this to 25 by halftime.

Hes 5/5 so I hope you consider that pretty good haha
That waa beautiful from JTY and the triple from TyKo.
This Johnson guy having a fluke game or is he going to Nebraska next year?
#11 has gone bananas. Give the kid some credit.

7/13 on the year from 3. So he usually doesnt play much.
But definitely can shoot it a bit

Does he go by Chucky?
Wow 3 point D was terrible. Most points Southern scored in a half so far this season. Come on our D in Hawaii was tremendous. Get in their grills! Go Marquette!
We will turn up the D in half two and wear the heck out of Southern.
I feel like you can tell if Jop's 3's will go in just from his release. The smooth rhythm releases are beautiful. Sometimes it looks so forced and guided
Kansas only up three on Eastern Kentucky btw. Under 5 mins.

We going to start all starters second half or will Zaire start second half instead of Jop?
Quote from: Daniel on November 28, 2023, 08:50:54 PM

Agreed. But that's still crazy.
Eastern Illinois not Eastern Kentucky. My bad.
Ben Gold's shot seems Tyler-Kolek-first-year-at-MU-flat to me. Needs to put some air under it.
Do the metrics guys have data on what happens when Jop drives?
This game will hurt seeding
Stevie progressing to airbailling wide open 3s now
Hairball, Stevie? If you didn't feel right there was clock.
Sweet Jesus!! Pick up the ball! We must get it together.
What even was that play by Oso?
Let's go now! Crank this up a bit.
At what point do the refs call Oso on his inbounds after a make. I don't think he's touched a toe out of bounds before passing it up court since about game 2 of this season
We're sort of playing in spurts. Stevie should have had that reb.

Guess they just never pay attention to that
Get Ross some opportunities in this stretch.
Sean having a rough game
Lavalle Jordan is great as an announcer.
Nice attack on the glass from Zaide.
Lowery has a nice free throw stroke. Might be time to trust him in crunch time over most of these guys
Nice!!
Benny gotta find some arc on his shot
Get it to 40.

Yes....but he's played well tonight.

Really like his hustle and rebounding and think he will be a good one! Hope Al can hit a shot
Don't want to see any starters from here on in.

Its objectively a bad arc shot though and he keeps doing it. Has got to add arc.
AL!!!!
Al dunks. That's all

True.
Cheer leaders chanting "kill" is just cringe city
I think the team on the floor now could beat southern
These are good minutes for the second team. Al 4 points and 2 blocks!
I'm exhausted watching Al play for 3:00

Man he bounces around like on a pogo stick. Full of energy on every play. Great to see. Eye for the basket

I get this is Southern but I just love the athleticism of our young guys.
Yeah, Al is raw. But there is something to work with.
Ben should shoot 500 triples after the game tonight.
Finally.
Lowery has big-time upside.
Al is no Theo

Al will be good! Shaka was very happy to get him. When the game slows down for him, he will be impressive. He is tough
Gonna need a much better SJ on Saturday.
Guys really struggling out there now

He's one of those guys that plays better versus better competition.
I don't have the data, but SJ22 thrives against well set and elite defenses, he's one of their kryptonites because he causes chaos
Daniel
I do not think the game needs to slow down for Al, he needs minutes. The dunks were fun, but two well played blocks and great one handed rebound was better to me. I would be giving him 6-8 minutes a game regardless of who the opponent is.
Honestly, I am a Jolp fan, but he just might have been recruited over and no one saw it happen. Between Ross, Gold, the current and next year freshmen, Jolp might end up on the outside looking in.

Nah Goose.
Amadou will get less minutes the rest of the season than Jolp gets at Madison barring injury.
The positives you mention are big, show future ability, but he was fully lost on that defensive end.
Jolp has been much better on that end and that's why he finds the court.
Oh, and he's one of a few guys that can tickle the twine with ease

Agreed. What is his 3 point % this year? Around 25%? Until he can start hitting at better than 35%, he needs to slow down on taking 3's.

He's at 28.6% on the year but that's dragged down by going 2/12 against cupcakes (4/9 vs high major opponents). We need him to keep shooting, it's not like his percentage will go up if he doesn't.

Every time he shoots a 3, I chuck my can of MeisterBrau at my Warriors pennant that I have hanging in my living room next to my picture of Al McGuire

He shoots such a flat ball. Honestly reminds me of Kolek two years ago. Mechanics look fine, just needs some air under it.
