No Shakes! Again we are only 1 of 2 teams in the Top 236 NET Rankings without a neutral or road Win! Ugh!

Even when the trap is for an eternity it's a weak ass trap.  Makes zero sense, and that's on Shaka.

Yup Ben is doing what he is told to do, and shot 42.9% from 3.

And Ross has been terrible for the most part.  Not only is he not an Alpha, he's not even a Beta.

On a top tier team he should be the 6th man.

But ... Muggs ... they will NOT be better next year w / out going to the portal.
Unless you think Sheek ( thin as a blade of grass ) is going to save them?  He won't

They will definitely be better even with no portal additions (assuming no key exits). But they will not be good enough without portal additions.

young team vs an experienced tough defense and took them to the wire in their arena
not a bad effort

At this point of the season, the crapty play of all big east first teamer Chase Ross has over taken the dumbness of Shaka playing Hamilton so much as the big disappointment of the season.

Ross is a 5th or 6th guy on a good team. Just not much of a bag or bucket getting ability. Gold is also a 5th or 6th guy. They were just in the wrong roles due to RGV. Water is starting to reach its level and they are sliding back to where they belong.

Not game related, but what is Sean Jones status? I've lost track of his injuries ... what's wrong now? Is he supposed to come back at some point this season?

Gold in BE play:  8 for 54 from three, 15%. That really hurts. Waiting for injury excuse as usual.

Ross in BE play has regressed from pre conference play, where he was really good. Who knows why.

But not all Gold's fault, he has no backups and has been playing out of position for two years.  That's on Shaka for choosing the development aspect on two unheralded recruits, who even redshirted to develop.  Today, Hamilton and Clark played 15 minutes and had zero points, zero rebounds, zero blocks, zero assists.  Think about that......, then again it has been discussed in nauseam and will be.

Go to boxscore and look at MU bench scoring, etc to Seton Hall bench. 

I want to see Owens and Phillips more to see what they have. Good luck to Shaka and next years roster construction, should be interesting. 

Believe that is 0 for 11 on the road? 

Well they are tolerable and sometimes fun to watch again. So this is progress
