GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Relentlessly attack!!
It's time for our A game!!
MU has had so many dismal performances in recent years in their first conference road games that I have come to expect them. Last year's blowout loss to PC was the latest example.
Maybe they can buck that trend today in what shapes up to be a battle of 3 points shooting.
It is time for a game. I will watch it later.

You're always negative Blue. We are a very solid team. The last few weeks we have played poorly but we're bound to break out.

Bad miss by Kam there. Had the move
I'm shocked every time Kam misses a layup
Stevie's "I'm not leaving, Soule" game at X two years ago is one of my all-time favorites MUBB memories. Looking for another big game out of Stevie.
This is a god awful shot
Terrible shots in the half court and they making food of us in the paint
Thatta boy Ben.
Jop...sigh
Ughhh Jop.
We got our entire team to stop taking mid range shots but we can't get Jop to stop taking these awful shots.
That's just an inexcusable fast break by Joplin. An easy bounce pass and he shoots a fadeaway over two guys.
I just don't understand how Jop as a senior can have such a bad basketball IQ.
Inconsistent shooting. Lake of coordination. Ok.
But the mind numbling dumb stuff he does on drives is the issue.

He can't really score off of one foot and is often off of control. He has made two good defensive plays.
We suck

Jolp with his patented doofus move to the bucket.
The focus for the rest of the year should be getting Owens ready to take Jops minutes in the tourney.
Put the ball in his hands and let him make mistakes.
If I have the option of a 2 seed with Jop or a 5 seed letting Damarius learn all season I'll take the 5
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 21, 2024, 11:12:06 AMHe can't really score off of one foot and is often off of control. He has made two good defensive plays.
His D is great.
It just the objectively stupid offensive decisions that are the problem. And compounded when he's currently in a shooting slump on good shots as well
Cmon Kam Focus!!
Kam is in a FUNK
Bad offensive Kam is just not what we need today
I don't get why it's just Kam one on one.
Terrible lighting.
GooollllddddBrick.
Kam getting schooled by the defenders
Parham has set a personal best for time played without shooting
Good look by Ben. Thatta boy DO.
We are gonna get boat raced if this doesn't change quick.
Letting an elite shooting team take wide open shots. And we cant run any consistent O
Kam looks like he has the yips driving.
WTF Kam. Just lay it in with the right hand.
WTF is Kam doing?
He had a wide open lay up and tried to draw contact(when he cant shoot free throws) and throws up a circus shot
This is something we never see from him
Normally I'd say keep shooting Kam but whoa. Pass the ball once or twice.
Kam better pull his head out of his ass soon
It like Kam is thinking of all the ways things could go wrong as he's driving to the basket rather than just shooting it
Stevie!! Let's go now.
Jop is a terrorist to the offense right now. WTF
Rewatched the Butler game and clear so far early, Ben can defend. He actually got beat for zero baskets off the dribble against butler. There were a few shots made over him but his positioning was great on all of them and moved his feet well.
Today, if Kam gets it together we will be just fine
WTF kind of shot was that by Jop?? RIDICULOUS. Very frustrating start. And from experienced players.
Quote from: MUEng92 on December 21, 2024, 11:19:23 AMIt like Kam is thinking of all the ways things could go wrong as he's driving to the basket rather than just shooting it
This. He's overthinking for the first time this year that I can remember. Maybe X has something to do with that but it looks preventable.
Jolp with another doofus shot.
Fast earning his new nickname Jopfuss.
So many tough one on one situations

They've missed a lot of open looks and are getting better shots than us. We need to get our heads out of our asses and take care of business.
Kams drives and Jop's 3s have been rough
This offense is lacking cohesion/flow
Good to see Stevie get involved on O. Too much Kam and Jop.

Its a miracle we are down 1. They are driving and kicking open looks. We got Jop taking step back 3s and Kam seeing ghosts.
RP!!

Zero fluidity. Correct.
The freshmen keeping us close with a couple 3s
While our seniors are still figuring out there's a game going on.

You're right about their offense, but they are driving and kicking to shooters that we want shooting for the most part.
I think we actually matchup with X a lot better if Fremantle plays.
Can someone in blue please make a layup
We look like we are driving against Houstons defense not Xavier
Quote from: MUEng92 on December 21, 2024, 11:26:14 AMCan someone in blue please make a layup
Exactly. Focus and finish.
Now that is a good shot JOp
There ya go Jop. Stop on 2 feet and slow down.
That wasn't a travel on RP. Fk.
Jop has been really good defensively.
Jop is so much better playing through the post. He is a strong kid.
Looks like the refs are being butt buddies with X.
Is the A on Shaka's left hand a tattoo?

As he hoists another out of rhythm 3
Jop's help and recovery defense has been incredible today. Shouldn't get beat back door, but man.
What a block!!!
Jop playing very well.
Wow, that was a turn of momentum in 4 seconds
What a block by Jop
Lets go now
Quote from: jesmu84 on December 21, 2024, 11:35:47 AMAs he hoists another out of rhythm 3
He's really, really good in that 6-10 foot range though when he plays at his pace. I'd like to run more stuff for him there when we get to under 12 on the shot clock.
That was a beautiful sequence. LFG!!
Jop is playing as well defensively and on the glass as ever
X defends around the basket well. Maybe why MU players are over thinking
Damn. Cmon Tre.
Solid D by Ben.
Wow! This crew can't get an OOB call right.
Missing some opportunities to get some separation.
Xavier has a good game plan for Kam. Think we'll see some adjustments in the second half to open things up more for him.
Kam with his head still firmly ensconced in his ass.
3 possessions where we've had a chance to extend and two turns. Patience and then attack or reverse the rock.
Up 6 with Kam being how he's been is encouraging. But they gotta adjust a bit in the second half. I think they will.
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 21, 2024, 11:40:50 AM3 possessions where we've had a chance to extend and two turns. Patience and then attack or reverse the rock.
Basically 3 turns
Stevie trying the lay up in traffic and being live ball swatted was bad
Will the refs even call a foul on X when we attack the basket? Doubt it.
Quote from: willie warrior on December 21, 2024, 11:42:18 AMWill the refs even call a foul on X when we attack the basket? Doubt it.
Refs letting both teams play. I got no problems with it
Miller knew Ben's 3 was going in
Our driving is an absolute disaster today
WTH was that? Frustrating foul from Chase?
Way too careless with the ball.
What???
It's a foul to be pushed into the back of an opponent?
Will the refs even calk a foul on X when we attack the basket? Doubt it.
That absolutely sucked.
This is crazy. Whole team has the yips with the ball
I HATE blaming officials, but I'm close.
This is ridiculous.
Good fking grief. Absurd call.
Fouls are piling up now in the last minute jesus
Cheaters proof, delayed
Ball don't lie.
Refs getting huge payout from X.
Gotta finish.
Anybody else's audio slightly ahead of the video?
Good D by ZL.
If there was any doubt Kam's issue is mental, watch the last two possessions
Is kam jones drunk today?
Kams head is stuck way up the anal canal.
Wtf is Kam doing offensively? 👀
No idea what's up with Kam.
Should be up closer to 12. Very frustrating.
Kam with a major brain fart. Dribble the clock out? OK.
Nice end of half possession.
Quote from: Jables1604 on December 21, 2024, 11:48:49 AMAnybody else's audio slightly ahead of the video?

Either that or announcers can see into the future
Kam needs the team shrink at the half what in the world
Also, his 3 pt shot overall has been off since the first couple games, think it has to do with how much he's handling the ball
But wooooooooof that half all around for him.

Not sure. I was too distracted by the swiping video pixelation to notice the audio problems
Glad to know the audio and visual issues weren't only on my tv.
Nice to be up but lots of blown opportunities. X is playing good D and Swain has Kam's number. Kam's 3 pt attempt was brutal.
MU needs to get Kam off the ball a bit. Could really use Sean Jones in this game.
MU also playing good D. Jop and Gold playing particularly well on that end. Ross seems a little off on D. Ankle?
Thought Damarius and Royce looked pretty good in their limited action.
Shaka sticking with the experience on the road though. Don't hate it.
Let's go now!
Wow what an ugly half. Amazing MU is up 5 the way we were playing. Credit to the defense. Hopefully the offense gets figured out because it was hard to watch.
Solid defense. Need the stars to show up on offense in the 2nd half too.
Kam and Chase need to wake up. It's really that simple. Let's go now!
Chase way off there.
This is a slugfest. Refs allowing it to be played pretty physically on both ends. Ben Gold is our best player today through the first half. Great defensive effort by Jop too. Kam has a tough matchup, and a little off - but come on Scoop - lay the F off the Kam critical comments FFS.
Gift call for Stevie
The audio being ahead is driving me nuts.
A call away from the ball?
A call away from the ball?
WTF?????
And here comes the over correction from the refs in terms of calling fouls.
A makeup call is by definition ONE call Mr. Ref
Strong move from Tre.
Fouls are adding up. Extremely upsetting.
I'd love to see a replay of Ben's "Foul"
Refs calling fouls with glee. The fix is in
Lots of ticky tack fouls being called on one end
What? How was that a shooting foul?
Some
Quote from: MUEng92 on December 21, 2024, 12:12:01 PMI'd love to see a replay of Ben's "Foul"
some BS calls so far.
I don't get why MU's guards are attacking the 6'7" defender Swain. It's not working.
Jop!!!
Let's go now!!
Sloppily played and sloppily reffed
Quote from: jesmu84 on December 21, 2024, 12:12:20 PMLots of ticky tack fouls being called on one end
And now lots of makeup calls. Lol
A Jop drive is like a roller coaster ride where you can't see if the track continues after the hill or not
My goodness. WTH happened to our offense? MOVE THE BASKETBALL. Too much dribbling and terrible passing off the dribble.
Quote from: Zog from Margo on December 21, 2024, 12:13:01 PMI don't get why MU's guards are attacking the 6'7" defender Swain. It's not working.
The initial attack is fine but move the freaking ball or put up a shot fake and then score.
Easy to see what the ref's halftime adjustment was
Bam! Count that! Zip pass for a bucket.
Bad D there.
Great D there
You'd think freaking fox main channel would have this audio issue fixed by now. Terrible broadcasting yeesh
Great job by Stevie there with the stop and shot fake.
3 off the ball foul call??? WTH??
That's it Kam. Way more under control and smooth.
Strong minutes from Tre Norman on both ends.
#1 playing D on Kam: "Ha, I got you stopped, nothing you can do"
Kam spins...
#1: Oh $h!t
Alright guys. Finish them out of this time out. Keep pushing.
Jop has officially scored 1000 points!
Great help Royce
Jop!
THERE AINT NO STREAKIER WAGON TO JUMP ON THAN THE JOPWAGON
My favorite part of Jop's 3 was that he immediately ran up court to play defense...and did play defense
Beautiful zone ball movement there to Jop. Keep it up boys.
Playing excellent right now. Helped by good shot making Jop
Cannot let up.
Far from over
Quote from: MUEng92 on December 21, 2024, 12:29:20 PMMy favorite part of Jop's 3 was that he immediately ran up court to play defense...and did play defense
He's been extremely solid defensively.
These refs are beyond awful.
Damn, Kam's 3 was halfway down and could have turned his tide
Kam gotta get that 3 pt shot back in his arsenal. Could have been an early back breaker
100% clean strip by DO. Absolutely inexcusable.
Just not Ross's day
Zeeeee!!!
Chase crying his eyes out on the bench. Kind of a bizarre sight.
Our opponents seem to be in the bonus a lot.
Refs have basically given X there last 4 points.
Fouls keeping X alive

We're getting a tough whistle. They are not letting us play.
Refs blow.
Push off
Ben has come to play today
The refs are gonna let Xavier live at the line for the rest of the game.
Big shot by Benny
Fouls are driving me up the wall and I'm sorry but they look totally one-sided.
This is crazy. We are making all the plays to finish this.
But X draws a foul every possession.

I didn't think it was just me. Absolutely infuriating and beyond inexcusable.
I hate complaining about the refs. However, this crew is absolutely the worst.
Does Ben have a farmer's tan?
I have the sound off. Why did they stop play?
So the idiot ref blowing the whistle gives them 2 points.
Wait what the actual f*ck? Xavier gets told to sit down which takes us out of our offense and we are forced to inbound and we turn it over. Lmao
Yeah these refs suck. Bad pass by Kam but there was no reason to even stop play
Hell of a play right after to answer by Kam and Jop tho
They stop the game to call nothing on Xavier and then make us have to inbound, I have now seen it all
Why would they stop play unless to access a technical foul?
Quote from: MUEng92 on December 21, 2024, 12:45:45 PMI have the sound off. Why did they stop play?

Stop fouling!!
Unforunately our walk ons are gonna have to finish this one
X doesn't miss their freebies either
All ball!
That was not a foul
When was the last time MU got a stop?
That was all ball. Amazing.
All ball. Again.
This is a fu cking joke
Its all ball every single time
Again all ball. Absolute fking garbage.
Sometimes all ball is mostly ball, that was all ball
We are approaching cheating territory with how they keep stopping play to make Marquette re-inbound.
Another whistle while we are running offense haha
What in the F is going on!!!!
This is an absolute travesty. And I'm not being hyperbolic.
Kam late game at the line
Its unreal
Kam is really bad at clutch free throws.
What is going on
It's crazy how easy you can come back when you only have to make one jump shot in 5 minutes
Now Kam doesn't want the ball
Kam jones is ass today
Getting absolutely f#cked by the refs this half.
Just brutal.
I would love for us to be allowed to play defense at some point
Shaka with terrible TO management- you HAVE to call TO on that possession... wtf...
This just should not keep happening with these guys on the road
These refs need to burn in hell
Beyond belief.
Kam and the Warriors blowing it just like at Dayton. Bet your heads out of your asses.
How many front ends does Kam miss?
Kam is exhausted running the O, hence coming up short on FT's late in the game. He needs Sean back to run the O ! ! ! 8-)
Making some serious mental errors, refocus, get Stevie back in, make a bucket, breathe
Unreal on those whistles stopping our O too - rediculous
Funny how it goes from a comfortable win to feeling like Xavier will easily win in like a 2 min run. This is a joke
Wow. The defense has been awful the last 7 minutes. Got up 15 and got lazy. Kam's lazy inbounds pass really got X going.
Kam has to learn how to shoot FTs.

Its very much an issue for him
He nearly blew the TK game at Creighton two years ago missing both free throws then just about fouling a guy on a 75 foot heave
Quote from: 1SE on December 21, 2024, 12:54:48 PMShaka with terrible TO management- you HAVE to call TO on that possession... wtf...
Where is the guy that posted that Shaka is a master of 2nd half adjustments?
Brian O'Connell is usually fairly decent but it looks like he's been paid today.
Regardless of the utterly ridiculous whistle we have to be more poised.
Blowing a 15 point 2nd half lead. El Chokeo
15 point lead when I tuned in, so I suppose I should walk.
Call a fucking TO
Un fucking really- a 14-0 run with no TO
Pathetic
Mental midgets on the road
Stevie !!!!
Mu up 3 1:09 left
If Joplin can continue to score like that in crunch time, this team has a lot of run.
Get a stop now.
Expecting the refs to bail out
There will be a foul called on this possession
Jop coming up big with a block and that bucket.
Quote from: Miss Katie's on December 21, 2024, 01:01:52 PMJon coming up big with a block and that bucket.

Stevueeeeee
Where would this team be without Mitchell ?
Yeah, Ben is awesome against the dribble - nice eye test TAMU
Incredible D by Stevie
Free throws no matta?
Can't make free throws.. can't win close games.
This team and 1 and 1s is just incredible
I swear Ross could've taken that outlet and scored instead of waiting for the foul and if so, he should have
Well at least we can't lose on the ridiculous game winning 3 like konkel
X shoots too good from 3, gotta foul
Brutal free throw experience.
Issue is, we don't have a lot of guys who can give fouls. Almost have to sit Stevie and chase
Argh
Wow they went for the 2 pt bucket
Great no call these refs have been excellent
Omfg
I didn't see a foul.
Kam at the line Jesus.
Wow. Just Wow.
Just great 2nd half adjustments by Shaka
Phew
So ironic that a comeback completely fueled by absolute BS calls is ended by a foul not called.
Poetic
Wow
Clearly no foul there ::)
Ross never touched him. 2-0 in conference but not very impressive in either
Take the win and leave town in a hurry, but I have questions.
Glad Shaka had that TO in his pocket
Kam Jones clutch FT shooter
Shocked they didn't call a foul.
Whew.
But the truth is the refs kept X in the game.
GO MU!!!
Guess we should quit complaining about the refs now?
If it were the other way around, total meltdown here on Scoop .... But either way it's in the books and X fans have to live with it. Woulda shoulda Coulda for X fans this year.
2-0 in the big east.
Thank God! How many consecutive possessions did X score before Stevie got back in the game?
After some of the calls against MU, the last no call was fine.
Kam needs to be better from the FT line.
Not a foul. The feet were set, can't help it if you trip on them.
Quote from: ATL MU Warrior on December 21, 2024, 01:12:09 PMGuess we should quit complaining about the refs now?
Was there actual contact? To me it looked like chase pulled his leg back in time and the X player was expecting contact so lost his balance

Love a lot about Jones. Don't like his free throw routine at all.
TV replay showed X guy stepped on Chases foot. Incidental contact. Good no call.
Yes he stepped on Chase's foot

Didn't really look like there was much, if any. I would guess in most cases (including the prior 19:57 of the 2nd half) that's an automatic whistle.
Quote from: ATL MU Warrior on December 21, 2024, 01:12:09 PMGuess we should quit complaining about the refs now?
Nah. Game wouldn't have been in that position to begin with if they weren't atrocious. Marquette didn't help by playing terribly during that stretch.
Another great road win.
X will be a S16 team.
Plenty of work to be done by this squad over the next week. Glad they won but way too many mental mistakes for my liking.
I thought at first Chase planted his foot and the X guy stepped on it.
If I was reffing that game I would've called a foul.
If that was against Marquette down 2 with 1s left I'd best most on here would've called for a foul.
Chase played his worst game in a Marquette uniform, and there was no need to defend like that there, but he got away with one
What a monumental relief.. I can't imagine how demoralizing a loss like that would of been..
Last play was a foul but was a very X friendly whistle throughout. Take the win and move on.
Quote from: Galway Eagle on December 21, 2024, 01:13:16 PMWas there actual contact? To me it looked like chase pulled his leg back in time and the X player was expecting contact so lost his balance
He clearly stepped on the left foot of Ross. It was a foul. Marquette should have put this team away but made far too many miscues with under 10 minutes left. A road win is sweet, but away from home MU has not been effective at closing out games. The Maryland win was similar. Free throw shooting in the waning moments of these contests has been an iffy proposition. #thegreatescape
Whistle or not, this team has to reframe their mindset away from Fiserv. They collapsed in two games, and almost gave the other two away. The other team signed up for 40. Can't go into cruise control.
Continuity and experience should have helped mitigate this, but apparently not.

Agreed. As Kramer once famously said to a Miss America contestant, "Poise counts."
Road wins in BE play are hard. UCONN barely won at Butler today.

No doubt. But through four true road games a pattern is starting to form. Have to be better about slamming the door.

This.
The silver lining - Xavier took a one point lead with under two minutes left and MU responded. The team could have wilted once Xavier grabbed the advantage, but the guys counter punched and claimed a huge road win. Stevie Mitchell is the star of the game for his defensive plays with this one hanging in the balance.
Road wins are tough in BE and MU has one in the books. This team needs to start playing smarter and moving the ball on offense or they will be making much harder on themselves.

You can do better, weak effort

Why the extra s, I wonder?
My first reaction was "foul" on MU, but he didn't purposely kick his foot out so just like when you drive through traffic in the lane, the defender is not required to move his feet out of the way.

Great to see you're improving your vocabulary.
Quote from: willie warrior on December 21, 2024, 11:46:35 AMWill the refs even calk a foul on X when we attack the basket? Doubt it.
Calk not playing here

Well said Goose. We must be better and we are better. Gotta play with far more poise and with our experience this shouldn't be a problem.

Xavier isn't a S16 caliber team. They're a bubble team, but still a quality win to get at their place.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on December 21, 2024, 01:17:34 PMNah. Game wouldn't have been in that position to begin with if they weren't atrocious. Marquette didn't help by playing terribly during that stretch.
This is 100% accurate and indisputable.

Just bringing it down to your level. Must be getting into your mind.

X needs to get in first
Hell, they need to remain a Q1 road win for us first.

Betting would be an NCAA violation

Looked but couldn't find the definition of a trip. It looked to me like Ross had his foot planted and X player stepped on it as Ross was pulling it away. Not sure if that meets the rule. Happy for the no call.

He just just hit his head with a hammer or something.
I do feel our bench is coming along nicely on the defensive end. Need to start hitting shots on offense, but thought the freshmen in particular played pretty well.
Read this first. I assume MU lost by 30 and the whole team was left at the airport while the charter flew home empty.

You were smart to start here for a level-headed analysis of this game.
Oh, yes. There are few better places for coherent, lucid, level headed analysis.

FWIW, Fox studio guy said "no foul".
