Title: Deserved to lose
Post by: MuggsyB on March 08, 2025, 01:39:00 PM
There's nothing worse than beating yourself.  And we simply did not finish the job or handle the pressure.  No moral victories. Very, very, upsetting.

Can't leave that many points at the free-throw line. And they absolutely have to secure rebounds when they get their hands on them.

It's a good point Fred.  In the game thread I became concerned when it was just Kam going solo.  We need everyone to contribute if we're going to beat good teams.

Feb Fade continues into March. Lack of fundamentals killing Marq right now. To have any success in the tourney, they need to drive the paint

I looked at the boxscore.  6 guys scored.  Your post is as good as our FT shooting.

Brutal loss...

I am optimistic on a ncaa run..

Kam, jop, gold all look much better and ready to make a run.

I am looking forward to a ncaa tourney game instead of a football game!!

Go Warriors!!

To be fair, we didn't have many opportunities. The bottom half of the big east was just so awful this year. Half our conference schedule was against just pure garbage. I was really against the ACC merger idea in the thread posted the other week but I'm starting to lean the other way now just due to how bad some of the programs are in our league. Nearly every power conference team from the other conferences would have won at least 10 games.

Yes they did...and lost. To a team with 4 portal players, that swept us this year. Ship needs to be righted, and not looking salvageable.

I'm worried about the roster as currently constructed next year. Plenty of raw talent, but very little consistency and zero reason to believe the physicality flaws of the last two games (and really the season) won't be persistent.

Fair question.

Because I trust them to continue to play like they have the last two weeks. And that'd be good enough to beat Xavier. We played arguably our worst game last time and if we had 3 more minutes would have won that game.

And X, while playing well, is sneaking by teams we've been rolling. I think X was playing better than us up until two weeks ago. We're playing better now. They can definitely beat us but I like the matchup.

Just my opinion, but I think this is an unfair comment. Especially with this MU team. They fought and lost. What? If they make 3 more free throws and win, they didn't deserve to win?

We didn't get it done when it mattered.  One of the most frustrating things about this team is that there's no consistency whatsoever outside of Kam getting his points.  I still think we have the personnel to make the 2nd week but we're not playing at that level.  We've seen games where Ross can go off or Jop.  We've seen games where Mitchell gives us an efficient 15-18 and Zaide and RP drill triples.  Ben has had two very solid games this week.  What we have not seen is our guys collectively playing well on the offensive end and more to the point making open shots.
