Take out this team and their asshead coach. We can do this. Come out on 🔥, get Zuby in foul trouble, and then attack with confidence.
For the out-of-towners, it's not looking good with the UConn game still going on.
Trutv has a game on already, so we'll be missing some early action

Yes. Very upsetting.
TV networks allocating only two hours for college basketball games is so stupid. They almost always go longer, but the networks never learn or change.
We still have one minute on the warm up clock. National athem and starting lineups.
Tip will be around 8:10

But, I absolutely love the coverage on TNT. I think it's the best. They really do a lot of post game back in the studio, which is awesome.

Yes. Lefkoe seems to do a good job. He was pretty solid at the French Open as well.
The fouls NCAA refs call at the end of games, specifically on drives from the team down 8-15 points, in absolutely infuriating.
This is obnoxious.
What is HLN???

That's for the UConn fans who are still hanging around
What they should do on TNT is say "we wil keep you updated" and immediately switch to the MU game.
Hurley is fking fouling down 7 with 12 secs left???? You have gotta be shiiiitting me!
They're showing handshakes!!!! WTF!!
WTF are they doing????
Now they're just fooking with me.
Enough. This is absolutely ridiculous.
I have no idea what HLN is.
Watching the handshake line has put me over the edge.
Will they show us them taking showers??? Fking absurd.
Getting hammered on the the offensive glass early!
Quote from: Mr. Nielsen on Today at 08:20:29 PMHeadline News.
I predicted 15-20 mins. It wound up being 21 mins and counting with 1:04 left in the game.
Almost 6 minutes in and I've yet to see a play.
Caedin putting in some work early
Caedin surprisingly good minute there. Couple of deflections.
TNTis the worst for college basketball. Even though the game started, it's almost 10 minutes before they bothered to go to the game.
I may have to write a letter to TNT.
Good power move from RP.
Bad help D there from Damarius.
Let's go now.
Overdribbling. And it's leading to careless turns. Pass the basketball.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 08:23:48 PMI may have to write a letter to TNT.
I'm watching on MAX.
DO running a break usually turns out bad.
What on earth was that from Chase?
Caedin!
How did Chase not see DO under the basket!?! SMH
Good fking grief. Value the basketball.
This could get ugly.
Wow. Tre.
Is the channel stopping and going for others? Might be my Comcast. Ugh
Benny! LFG!
Is Tre Norman better than Chase Ross?
Chase can't turn a corner and get by anybody like Tre just did.
Quote from: Daniel on Today at 08:38:19 PMIs the channel stopping and going for others? Might be my Comcast. Ugh
I'm not having that problem.
The Chase Ross experience is absolutely excruciating at this point. He does almost nothing right on either end and he is an absolute dead end for the offense. He is genuinely terrible. He should be getting 20 mins per game
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 08:38:36 PMIs Tre Norman better than Chase Ross?

Good minutes from Gold.
Wasn't a foul on Royce! Not even close!
Way too much one on one ball.
Caedin Hamilton on the perimeter, passing to Tre Norman on the perimeter 😂
Weird lineups tonight.
Was happy with our BOOB play but just gave one back.
Ross could have passed that.
Why are we pressing?
Ty, Bryce Hopkins.
Pass the ball!! Fk.
Parham has developed so well... he is fun to watch
Great. Liotop is killing us.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 08:21:03 PMWill they show us them taking showers??? Fking absurd.
I thought i was the only one. I completely lost it. Turned the TV off.
Zuby is soft. Letting Nigel throw him around like that.
Quote from: Daniel on Today at 08:51:56 PMParham has developed so well... he is fun to watch
He needs to get some help. Our frosh need to get going.
DO WE NOT GO TO THE MONITOR FOR HOOK AND HOLDS ANYMORE!?!
MU's defense really blows. The deeper Shaka goes on the bench, the weaker the D gets. Just brutal to watch.
Quote from: Zog from Margo on Today at 08:58:51 PMMU's defense really blows. The deeper Shaka goes on the bench, the weaker the D gets. Just brutal to watch.

Brutal few minutes.
Ben got pushed around pretty good on that FT. :P
(https://media.tenor.com/KNIPpcQb6woAAAAM/kids-kiss.gif)
Clark not on bench
What's the deal there?
Nigel needs to move the basketball. I realize trusting certain teammates is difficult, but going one on 3 vs St.J. isn't gonna work.
We desperately need shot makers. The offense is so stale.
NJ and RP are really good but they need some help
Stevens is a nice frosh, but can not get a shot tonight, why slow release, zero mid range game, not quick enough, hope Walker will help next year. MU has no bench scoring either, that has to be rectified.
St.J killing us from 3 wasn't exactly predictable.
Our offense can't solely be dependent on Nigel & Royce going one on one.
Great tip but I cannot believe Chase didn't give that up.
Nice to see a mid range jumper from an MU player, Nigel!
Damn. Stevens needs to lace that one.
Wow. Incredible drive and finish from Nigel.
Caedin enters the game. RP with 3.
How was that not a foul?
Nice hard playing. James is amazing. He is so fast and in every play.
Quote from: Daniel on Today at 09:32:49 PMNice hard playing. James is amazing. He is so fast and in every play.
I just don't think it's sustainable for him and RP going the on one.
Nice!!! Let's go now!
Caedin's best game by far
Edit: should have kept my mouth shut
Really dumb foul by Caedin.
(https://www.myimaginarytalkshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/26023605673_8375910799_b.jpg)
That's quite the lineup we have out there.
Terrific dime and cut there!
Nigel has elite quicks.
OMG!!!
Wow, amazing hoop!
Fellas we got the next historic MU great

That was one of the most electric finishes I've ever seen.
F'ing nasty
Incroyable!!
I've been pretty down on the team this season but this second half they are playing some inspired ball. Fun to watch!
Caedin needs to get that reb.
I'll say one thing: Norman is playing hard.
Gotta refocus.
Lol
Needed a t-o sooner.
Owens gets that rebound or even goes for that rebound Marquette up 6 it is a different game
Wow things change fast..... lost focus
Nigel can't win by himself and he's exerting a lot of energy. We need multiple guys contributing to get this done.
Need some threes to keep them honest and not pack the lane
Nigel has to learn how to handle success. He does incredible stuff and has great stretches, but often follows it with overconfidence, turnovers, and general ball-hogging behavior.
Pass the ball Chase!
Why the F would Ross take that shot?
Gotta get RP involved down the stretch.
If Nigel consistently hits that 10 foot pull up next year he's unguardable
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 09:23:17 PMOur offense can't solely be dependent on Nigel & Royce going one on one.
ISO offense while four guys hope they get open (they never do) by standing around isn't working and hasn't worked.
Unfortunately we can't seem to finish halves
Some really good stretches but then we lose focus
Quote from: rccola42 on Today at 09:51:08 PMNigel has to learn how to handle success. He does incredible stuff and has great stretches, but often follows it with overconfidence, turnovers, and general ball-hogging behavior.
Yeah can tell he just gets amped up. Very confident that will improve as he gets older
MU is not mentally tough at the end of games. They hero ball offense and try to make showy plays on D. They need to start recruiting some players with better basketball IQs. Ross is a poster boy for bad decisions.
Quote from: BM1090 on Today at 09:56:10 PMIf Nigel consistently hits that 10 foot pull up next year he's unguardable
..
He can make that shot. But he'll be even more unguardable with better guys around him.
It's almost impossible to overstate just how little Chase gives us offensively. Grinds every single movement to a halt while accomplishing nothing. Senior guard with an elite body but just hasn't bothered across 4 years to learn how to dribble with his right hand, turn a corner, or make any sort of quick decision. Maddening. This offense is so much better and easier to watch with him off the floor
Wow.
Shot selection matters down the stretch.
Please no more circus shots. Team sport
2 good looks from RP. Unfortunate results.
Game had some fun moments. We better keep James for next year. Unfortunately looks like inevitable will halpen, this team just can't finish
There's just a massive talent discrepancy that's almost impossible to overcome. I admire the fight that the guys continue to put up despite being outmatched.
Not over yet but wow we could have had this game. Missed 6 trips in a row.
Let's Go Marquette!

And no jumper. If he had a midrange game, he would have been reall good
Quote from: BCHoopster on Today at 10:05:06 PMAnd no jumper. If he had a midrange game, he would have been reall good
He can't have a midrange game with our staff's (now poor) philosophy of 3s or at the basket...has made us easier to defend.
Ughh.
Quote from: BCHoopster on Today at 10:05:06 PMAnd no jumper. If he had a midrange game, he would have been reall good
This program has had a maniacle aversion to any type of midrange shot for 4 years. How would Chase develop that part of his game?
Too much pressure only only a couple of guys for MU. Need a team threat and we do t have it
The Sean conversation is silly.
The difference in mental and physical toughness between these two teams is striking.
Quote from: Daniel on Today at 10:09:36 PMToo much pressure only only a couple of guys for MU. Need a team threat and we do t have it
As I wrote, Nigel going alone vs a top team just isn't sustainable.
Still not over.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 10:10:15 PMThe Sean conversation is silly.
"they need one more"
ONE.... TRY FOUR OR FIVE
One team's old players are Zuby and Hopkins. The other team has Ross and Gold. There's not really anything else that matters to discuss.
Chase's excellent value as a fourth-option slasher for 3 years, devolving into this version of a player who won't even attempt to beat one backpedaling defender on a fast break, is unreal. An Adrian Stevens who has not scored all game then goes on to take initiative while he hides in the corner when we need an urgent bucket. Just horrible
Stevens has a ton of potential as a shot maker if he can get better at creating those little spaces to get his shot up.
8 straight possessions without a basket
Late minutes fade again
The offensive concepts are completely covered. The constant jumping to pass makes me nauseous. Some poor coaching.
Also... Sean Jones has been worse than Tre Norman at every point.
Ouch. Thought that was gonna be an and one.
Still have a pulse!
Off the ball movement. Better results than constant iso ball
FT matta. Damn
Quote from: jfp61 on Today at 10:12:09 PM"they need one more"

Brian Anderson I believe said with Sean an "electric backcourt" ? He needs to do better.
The tean plays hard. The talent is lacking. But they try hard.
That Chase miss is a microcosm of our season.
Ross 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Giving the ball to Ross is quite a decision. Can thank him for his years of service while also noting that he's terrible.
Nice try, guys. You can fault the execution but you can't fault the effort.
Why would you have Ross as the guy with the ball he has not made a clutch play all season so unnatural carnal knowledgeing dumb
Ugh. 9-18. Ugh
Quote from: rccola42 on Today at 10:21:24 PMGiving the ball to Ross is quite a decision. Can thank him for his years of service while also noting that he's terrible.
I'm astounded that was Shaka's decision after a t-o, down 4, 21 secs.
Has Ross made a basket with under a minute to go in any game this season?
Too many desperate shots under the rim
I'd be surprised if St. John's made it to the second weekend. They aren't very impressive.
Quote from: PointWarrior on Today at 10:22:19 PMHas Ross made a basket with under a minute to go in any game this season?
By my count, no. Unless it was a FT.

We need to run a lot more 2 man game with Nigel and RP.
Too much chaos on offense and lack of discipline on defense. Questionable coaching.
Too little mental and physical toughness on this roster.
Good effort just too little intelligent effort.
Quote from: PointWarrior on Today at 10:22:19 PMHas Ross made a basket with under a minute to go in any game this season?

Think it's more of a talent issue than toughness. They hung in there pretty well with a very physical team. Didn't get destroyed on the boards. They just have older, experienced players who are stars. Our older, experienced players wouldn't be on the court if we had better options.
I love how much crap dumb people keep giving ross. Not realizing that he gets to keep making mistakes in these games because this entire team is still somehow worse than him.
I'm not saying we would have won, but the key stretch was after Nigel's ridiculous up & under. Shot selection and valuing possessions are vital in tight games.
Quote from: jfp61 on Today at 10:32:04 PMI love how much crap dumb people keep giving ross. Not realizing that he gets to keep making mistakes in these games because this entire team is still somehow worse than him.

Difference in physical strength isn't just talent or age. MU has too many slight players and SJU took control with strength when it mattered. MU needs some BE bodies.
Once again, frustrating loss but nothing worth getting upset over.
Foul trouble for Royce was a killer in the 2nd half.
Get the 6 point lead and TO, TO, blocked shot, horrible shot attempt.
Chase is 6/23 from the field the last 3 games.

This is objectively and obviously wrong.

He's still our best defender. Maybe not man to man but he's definitely the most disruptive.
But he's at best our third best offensive player
