O-Rebounding-Max and prosper

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Telfort only attempted two shots in the second half and went 1/2. Also got to the free throw line in garbage time.

Brooks only attempted three shots in the second half and went 1/3, though the 1 was an and 1. One of the missed shots came with 47 seconds left.

Excellent erasure of Butler's two best players who were killing us in the first half. Making players miss is impressive, but not even letting them get shots is on another level.

For those questioning Jops value (cough @jesmu84 cough).

There were 28 possessions of man defnese in the second half. Jop was Telforts defender in 16 of them. In those 16 posessions, Telfort went 0/1 from the floor. Couldn't even get a shot off.

Huh? Are you mistaking me for someone else? If I recall I believe I said he was incrementally improving until his last year. I only argued posters who were so pessimistic it made the board unreadable and they were actively rooting for MU to lose so they could get rid of the guy. I stand by those takes. He was not the worst coach in history (see Kyle Neptune), and I'll always root for MU to be successful.

Also because you requested:

Not as lopsided as I recall but still a weird era of scoop

Good find. Thanks. A fun trip down memory lane. I didn't recall it being lopsided either, which is why I put lopsided in quotes - 53 to 46 in favor of the Ners ban. Congratulations on being on the winning side of the ban vote, though.

I'd love a lesson in Scoop lore/history. Could someone tell me who Ners was?

He is the guy above you.

 He's matured a lot, unlike the rest of us.

Nothing like the Projo and Derrick Wilson fan club to bring up the dark days of MUSoop and Hoops, by comparing David Joplin and Derrick Wilson.

That aside, I have zero shame for being banned from this board multiple times for criticizing  Wojo and his awful coaching nonstop for 6.5 years.  Arguing with Scoopers who suggested and thought he'd be good "once he got all his own guys,"was no doubt a waste of time and a fools errand, because you just can't debate stupidity.

Was crystal clear 10 games into Wojo's career at MU that he was an awful coach. Yet we had Scoopers still thinking the guy had potential 5 years into his time at MU. Sorry you were one of those fools.

You're an idiot. You bring nothing to this board except humor. The kind where we are laughing at you - not with you.

I started this deal about Jop vs. Derrick. I DID NOT compare them as players. Period. I compared certain Scoopers takes on them.

[The Sultan]

To be fair, Ners plays the hits occasionally, but by and large is pretty level-headed and normal these days.

Nevermind.

[JakeBarnes]

Agreed. Noticed last night after the players talked about Santa on the scoreboard, Shaka then said "Happy Holidays" 🤬

Can't even wish someone a Merry Toyotathon anymore. It's just the snowflakes ramming "Happy Honda days" down our throats at every turn.

[tower912]

Festivus is more scoop's speed.  Especially the airing of grievances.

... and back in MY day, it was the Sign AND Drive Event.

We did both simultaneously, and we LIKED it that way.

Thanks for starting "this deal about Jop vs Derrick."  Just the kind of high quality posting we need at Scoop.  You bring so much value to Scoop Jockey.  Please don't ever stop posting here you big brain!

Lotta stuff being rammed down throats this holiday season. Love to see it

You might have missed this post where I praised Jop's defensive improvement:

I didn't.  But it doesnt erase the post where you said the team would be better without Joplin

That's true.

I still believe that though.

Crowd just seemed flat as ever. I guess I'll just be happy with the win against a team that's lost a crooked number of buy games. Time to go win at X.

Shaka said he was pleased witg the fans on a night with the students on break.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

You're right. Wojo is at least as good of coach as Buzz, that's why Wojo had a plethora of offers after being fired from MU.  As everyone knows that's being objectively honest, Buzz did a horse crap job coaching MU his last season. That aside, even if John Dawson were a worse option than Derrick (which as you know I don't think was the case), Buzz didn't have the option of Duane Wilson or Matt Carlino to play PG.

Go take a look at Derrick's career stats on KenPom. Anyone who suggests a player like that was under appreciated or would be missed is simply lying to themselves.

Dude, let it go and move on.

The same guy who calls himself after a thief who stole companies from young entrepreneurs and claims technologies developed by them as his.

Do you still believe it after X?
