Nova game thread

[Shark]

Every time MU drives to the basket this year its a charge....and on the other end it's always a block.

Seems like a repeat play by Duane, drive into a stationary defensive player and expecting a different outcome. Duane please work on secondary outlets. We need you to step up.

Interesting story by Raftery.  Wally Ellenson to jump over Jimmy Mac. That would be fun to watch.

Isn't Jay Wright a sweet guy when he's mic'd up. So supportive to players. I expect him to say a prayer next timeout. What a phoney, baloney

Just like Vander did, Duane needs to develop the pull up J in the lane.   It took Vander until his third year, so.. maybe next year.

2-4 from the FT line.

Nova? 13-19.

No way would that close the huge gap but...

This team's inability to draw fouls and get to the line to shoot FTs is hurting this team.

[Anti-Dentite]

Wojo has hit the freshman wall...we stink and aren't getting any better.

[Lighthouse 84]

How is that a foul by Du in the lane?

It's to be expected. MU doesn't get the calls we used to and then the offense seems to turn into only jumpers

HI JENNY!

[connie]

it's not lent yet!  Time to tie one on Connie

I'm sure the good Lord would forgive me after this debacle.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

They're still playing hard out there. And I'm still at the bar!

MU has failed to grab the rebound on 3 Nova missed free throws. Wow.

[Class71]

This team fights to the end. Time to get with the program. Anyone can support a winner. This team is flawed but it fights. That is what they can do. You should have seen some of Al's early teams. They won against cream puffs, not top 10 teams. Give them some support.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Oh, Juan...

[WellsstreetWanderer]

I like giving the young guards these minutes

That is a brutal stat.

I wouldn't limit that to Duane.  I wish someone on this team had a 12-15 foot jumper.  Honestly right now I'd settle for a layup.

[Lennys Tap]

I would have guessed 5

[4everwarriors]

Almost held these suckers under 70, damn.

[chapman]

No twins?  Boooooooo. 

[Class71]

The only thing that bothers me about this game was officials who have no regard to protecting players. I understand the bias for the home team that is ranked but the Carlino foul and the run over of Cohen highlights there is something fundamentally wrong in this league. The officials let this game get out of control to the point of potential serious injury to the players. Get it together folks.

[willie warrior]

Reminiscent...of...the...Dukiet...era!

[Stretchdeltsig]

Why can't er shoot?  We have zero transition game.  You cannot win then.
