Omax has a very limited offensive game.

o max is juan andersen 2.0. good size and athletism but just cant find any consistant scoring ability. he has so much potential

Sure it's limited, but he's working on it. Much to our collective chagrin.

Morsell was hit on the shooting hand on his 3.  His whole arm jerked backwards
Title: Re: MU/NIU Game Thread
Post by: MuggsyB on November 27, 2021, 07:36:04 PM
WTF was that?  Why?  10 totally unforced turns.  Calm the hell down, move the rock in the half-court, and get Kur some touches inside.

Kick this thing into overdrive.  Ger this to 18-20 by the end of the half.

I’ll give Butch credit.  I would not be able to pretend to be impressed much less excited about a Badger doing anything well.

Kuath showing nice touch has good hands.  Get him more opportunities in our h-c sets.

Post by: MUEng92 on November 27, 2021, 07:47:52 PM
NIU guy passes alleyoop 3 feet to the side of the backboard and lifts his hands up to his teammate not understanding how he couldn’t do what Dominique Wilkins couldn’t do

When. do we get our backcourt back?
2 points on 1-5 shooting. They do have 7 assists at least. But where has DM gone?

Our h-c offense has to get a lot better.   Way too much dribbling, not getting space to pass and move the ball, not using our 5.
Title: Re: MU/NIU Game Thread
Post by: MuggsyB on November 27, 2021, 08:14:58 PM
Maybe that gets DM going.  Kuath has been our best player tonight.

Did they shrink the width of the court this year?  Seems like an excessive number of times guys have stepped out on the sideline this year

Post by: MuggsyB on November 27, 2021, 08:30:46 PM
It's been a very mediocre performance thus far.  I have significant concerns about two areas in particular.  We have to clean up our h-c offense.  And if we're going to press the better teams I think it could be seppuku unless we hard trap better, take some charges, and are more connected.

High energy.  Good.    But very sloppy game. Love Mitchell and Jones.     They will be good. 

Too many turnovers.

How could comparing Shaka Smart to Bo Ryan be taken as a compliment by anyone who hasn’t made the stupid W finger salute in their life?

Northern Illinois (300 NET) just won on the road at Akron (152 NET).

That should be a metric adjuster.
