DJO misses front end.....good night

[Golden Avalanche]

Crowder was knocked to the ground, and sat there.  His man then comes over and doubles Gardner, who turns it over. 
MU has really been sloppy with the ball tonight.  Killing us.

Except the first four minutes, this team never got out of first gear.

Really disappointed.

[wheresthecake?]

LSU wanted it more.

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

i think we need another matchup with northern col.

[chicagowarrior]

...was a nice ride

[real chili 83]

Stick a fork in 'em.  

[TJ]

oh well.  at least we got to double digit wins undefeated.

[MountainCreekHouse]

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

[muhoops1]

Ugh.  I hate this.

[JimmyB!]

Absolutely no big man/inside presence. I never thought I'd say this... but they need Otule.

[MattyWarrior]

Top ten for one game

[nathanziarek]

Win streak couldn't go on forever...regroup, beat Milwaukee, and enjoy a pretty-well earned Christmas break.

Season checklist
(x) Non-conference near-miss against inferior opponent (sky falls on Scoop)
(x) Non-conference stinker to inferior opponent (more sky-falling)
( ) Non-conference loss on big stage convinces board MU not ready for Big East
( ) Unmentionable conference loss
( ) Road Game we weren't supposed to win
( ) Late surge
( ) Top-half Big East Finish

Right on schedule...

Out worked.  Haven't seen us like this, so lethargic.  Gardner didn't look like he wanted to be out there.  Too bad, let's pick it up after Christmas!

[real chili 83]

We have a very talented team.  Just not our night.  LSU is good.

We play Thursday...

[MattyWarrior]

How do we always let their worse shooter go off?

After Christmas??????

They've got a game on Thursday and will get crap smoked in their own building with this kind of effort.

[Jackson_Downer]

Not the end of the world but I hope this is a wake up call for DJO, not sure what his deal was tonight but outside of 3 or 4 plays, he was a non factor.  We were just too sloppy tonight.  I do think they'll get it together for the next game.  I have to admit, I am a little concerned heading in to conference play.  

[Hards Alumni]

LSU shot the lights out.

What can you say.

[MUMac]

We have a very talented team.  Just not our night.  LSU is good.

Agree.  Tonight LSU hit the key shots.  In the last 4-5 minutes, when we would go up 2, they would hit a huge 3.  Happened a couple of times.  

MU gutted it, but it showed early that it was not their night.  

[nyg]

Sometimes these losses are a good thing to the team.  A gut check before the BE season.  10 and 1 so far is very good, but some weaknesses were observed tonight.  #1 is point guard play, just brutal.  #2 hope DJO doesn't go into his "funk" mode like last year.  

Get back home and re-group.

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

gardner really did look tired, frustrated, lazy whatever you wanna call it just playing slop, too many acting jobs trying to get the foul called , idk he usually is one of my favs out there, looked like trash tonight

[RyanConroy]

DJO cannot have performances like that. Great players don't play like that.

[godzilla]

Gardner looked like a disinterested bum.  Off nights are one thing, but lack of effort is inexcusable.
