Washington game thread

[esotericmindguy]

Turnovers were painful. Is it me or should Wilson play more. If neither PG provides offense them I'll take derrick's defense.

[esotericmindguy]

My first half thoughts are woeful might have been right. Give me some more jamil

[NersEllenson]

How many turnovers does Vander have so far?  I count 4, perhaps 5.

Vander has 4 TO's at the half...yet even with those he still looks much improved over last year.  This could be Jamil Wilson's game to make a significant step up/impact.  Think it is clear to all of us by now that Mayo is going to be a huge force on this MU team.

Buzz has to get him involved; run a play

[real chili 83]

Crowder looks like he's lost his mojo tonight.  Hope he breaks out of the funk.  We need him.

  Bad start here.  Offensive boards, DJO stuffed.  Missed short shots.  

 Ross and Gaddy have three fouls and playing.  Wow.  

[Da 'Lanche]

every time I think DJO is pressing he pulls up and hits a money shot.    Jae needs to get his mojo back but Jamil....wow, baby!

[madtownwarrior]

or stop shooting at least....

[MUMac]

Right now he is struggling on both ends of the court.  He d and rebounding have been poor this half as well.  MU really needs him to get straightened out.

[Jackson_Downer]

Seeing some decent D and a couple of boards but offensively, he's a non factor.  Hope he gets it going.

[nyg]

He is 1 for 6 and none have been close.  Got a feeling he is due.  Soon

[VegasWarrior77]

Todd & Jamil will see increased minutes as the season goes on!

[GGGG]

I was just about to post something similar.  He is taking shots out of the flow of the offense, and frankly his defense has been a problem.  (So has Junior's BTW)

[Da 'Lanche]

he is getting burned on his perimeter defense beyond the arc, too....C'mon predator...get it going!

[Da 'Lanche]

terrible sequence there....bad shot....bounced around missed rebound....no call on a flop by Gardner and then missed boards as UW puts in a 3rd chance point.  ouch.

[Da 'Lanche]

MU maybe has withstood the run....tie it up with the fts and then take control of the game.   Washington can score, no question, but their defense is atrocious and if MU stops shooting itself in the foot and also steps up on defense....game should go our way.

The flop by Gardner was really bad.  Cost MU 2 points.

[chapman]

Need a turkey right now.  Or better yet a dead badger husky (no Michael Vick).

[Da 'Lanche]

Anyone think Buzz will have the boys working on some defense the next few practices....like intensely?

[NersEllenson]

Washington gaining a lot of confidence against us.  We are getting tested big time.  This Wilcox dude is just raining 3's.

Five of last six UW baskets have been backdoor.  Whoops, make that six of seven.  Either layups or dunks. 
Just terrible defense. 

[MUMac]

Our two JC's - Cadougan and Crowder - really have struggled with D today.  Really struggled.

[Da 'Lanche]

On the upside....helluva entertaining game.

[ErickJD08]

Honestly, we will be lucky to win. The ball seems be not bounce our way and Washington is making a ton of really difficult shots.

[4everwarriors]

Really too slow to play the 1 on this level.
