MU trails 41-33 at halftime

[ChicosBailBonds]

We do not look good.

[Jacks DC]

They are dominating us.  Turnovers are keeping us in the game.  Hopefully Bucknell cools off in the second half.

[77ncaachamps]

No shooters.

Lots of slashers but NO shooters.

Where have you gone...DJO?

[lab_warrior]

We do not look good.

That is a very diplomatic way of putting it.  

[77ncaachamps]

That is a very diplomatic way of putting it.  

I guess another way is: "At least we look better than Indiana's football team did versus Wisconsin yesterday."

[ChicosBailBonds]

That is a very diplomatic way of putting it.  

If I say it another way then I'm labeled as a Buzz hater....so I'm going diplomatic right now.

Its a rebuilding year. Every coach should be given 4 years before they are judged

[lab_warrior]

This game is disturbingly reminiscent of last years' NC State game.  Bad shooting, horrible offense, and no defense from us.  They're not letting us get easy baskets, and we can't make FTs.  Need to SERIOUSLY turn it around in the second half.

[muwarrior69]

We have only 4 players with experience at D1, Jimmy 2 years, DJO, Bycks and Fulce with 1. Could be a tough learning curve.

Who the hell is guarding their PG Bryce Johnson? He is 5 for 6 from three point land!

It sure as hell isn't cadougan because he is riding the pines.

[Jacks DC]

I don't want to spend the next four months hearing about what our RPI would be if you take out the Bucknell loss.

[lab_warrior]

7-10 from 3pt land for them.  NOT GOOD DEFENSE.

[noblewarrior]

7-10 from 3pt land for them.  NOT GOOD DEFENSE.

didn't see all their attempts from three but the dude who's 6-7 3pts was off balence and 2-3 feet behind the line on a couple... nothing u can do... hopefully the defense picks up and they shoot themselves out of the game

[mueron]

Their point guard is just hot from 3 right now. Nothing to be done about it. But where the hell is cadougan? Buycks and Smith are garbage as point guards dribble dribble drive drive throw up junk shot. I'm also not going to use the "there is no way they will stay this hot in the second half" excuse they probably will. We need to do much better on offense to win this game.

great game for our young team to grow up fast.  Just waiting for Junior...

I know you put it in teal...but not according to you guys....most talent in decades, a few quality bigs....ah...but what about the PG (my biggest beef with this team...we don't have one)

[ChicosBailBonds]

Keep waiting....Buzz has him buried deep right now

[77ncaachamps]

Keep waiting....Buzz has him buried deep right now

Junior couldn't keep a defender in front of him.

That's why he's not playing.

I agree entirely....but when I was in Milwaukee last weekend, someone (who shall remain nameless since he's a poster on this board) indicated then that JC was buried deep and there are concerns about how good he really is....concerns from people that matter.

well, if we lose at home against Bucknell, then it will indeed be a long season.

pff big run with JC in.

[Jacks DC]

The problems run far deeper than the PG position.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Glad to see it Hards, I'm just telling you what was said and when you consider how few minutes he's played this year, there sure seems to be some truth to it. 

[NersEllenson]

well, if we lose at home against Bucknell, then it will indeed be a long season.

Let's start the overreaction for this season right now...after the DePaul loss last year..we had some saying we wouldn't even make the NIT. 

[NersEllenson]

We do not look good.

Not surprised your analysis of the game led you to believe "we do not look good."  Guess what Chicos - a basketball team is not going to shoot 70% for the 3 point line for an entire game, nor is it going to shoot 68% from the field for an entire game...as did Bucknell in the first half.
