FOUR turnovers in five minutes.

Yup, he's the human turnover machine so far. Hope he settles down.

Skatastrophy · « **Reply #2 on:** March 22, 2009, 04:28:17 PM »

It's been a while since it's looked like he was trying hard in a game.

ecompt · « **Reply #3 on:** March 22, 2009, 04:34:54 PM »

He hasn't tried at all on defense the past month.

Quit turnin the ball over. Its getting ridiculus.

ATWizJr · « **Reply #8 on:** March 22, 2009, 04:49:45 PM »

we gotta' take better care of the ball. TO's are killing us.

ChicosBailBonds · « **Reply #9 on:** March 22, 2009, 04:56:33 PM »

I guess the staff thought running with Missouri was a good idea.

We shouldn't be playing fast and loose against Missouri. Plays right into their hands.

neither are very good.

i will tell you one thing, at the expense of being ripped. Crean would not put up with the defensive effort.

Raftery said it best ...

"Dominic James is out there, but not the Dominic James we know."

Very, very tentative, which really does MU no good.

Please, stop creating threads for every thing you want to say.

Just post it here.

WarriorMU · « **Reply #16 on:** March 22, 2009, 05:07:46 PM »

Love the guy, but James shouldn't be out there. Won't drive, won't pass...provides nothing on the court

Pakuni · « **Reply #17 on:** March 22, 2009, 05:10:03 PM »

Actually, almost all of MU's offense is coming off situations in which they push the ball and draw a foul ... 16 points off free throws already.
Many of MU's turnovers are coming not when they push the ball, but when they settle into the halfcourt set (and when Wes gets shoved out of bounds). The longer MU stands around and passes around the perimeter, the more opportunities they're giving Mizzou to create a turnover. The problem isn't pushing the ball, the problem is a terrible half-court offense.

Some tell-taling stats:

FTs: MU 16-18, Mizzou 3-5
FG%: MU 31.8%, Mizzou 52.8% (19-36!!! 5-11 from 3)

jaygall31 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 22, 2009, 05:12:02 PM »

Our ability to leave people wide open for 3 game after game is just sickening. I'm not saying players don't at time hit tough shots, but for real, guard the 3 point line.

ChicosBailBonds · « **Reply #20 on:** March 22, 2009, 05:12:44 PM »

Louisville is the closest team we play like Missouri. We kept that game to 62-58. That's how we should be playing this game.

The second half we aren't going to have much choice but to try and play reckless to get back in it.

What are you smoking? Acker adds nothing.

+1 sums up the game well. We should keep running, that is not the problem.

I expect for Hayward to lead us back alot like he did when he woke up in the 2nd half against villanova

Carl Spackler · « **Reply #24 on:** March 22, 2009, 05:20:25 PM »

run, but protect the ball.

and take the first decent shot. too many TOs while passing around after NOT taking a decent shot.

protect the ball, guard the 3 and take shots--win or go down swinging.
