Davidson Game Thread

[Newsdreams]

Yes, Gardner "thought" he was fouled on the play.

That's a problem I see with our players in offense they think they will get a foul call whenever they feel contact. They have to play through and forget about the calls.

[ecompt]

I fear we had our chance when Cohen sat out and did squat with it. Now he can play the entire second half and we have no one who can guard him.

Key stats:

Rebounding edge 20-14, 8 offensive to 2
MU 7-9 free throws, Davidson 5-10 (80% FY)
Davidson 7 TOs, MU 6 TOs (3 on first 3 possessions)
Davidson 35% shooting (4-10 three, started 4-4), MU 28%
MU with only 2 assists

Jamil 0-5, Vander 1-6


Must continue to guard the perimeter tightly, and have to get into some kind of offensive rhythm...would help to get players in with some kind of offensive talent.

Considering we turned the ball over 3 of the first 4 four possessions, were shooting 1-11, and Davidson hit their first 4 three's, things could be worse at half.  That said, we gave back a modest lead, but still.  Second half should be ours.

[mr.MUskie]

27% shooting and we're only down 2?  We got this.

[Markusquette]

Time for a Cincy-esque second half.

[nyg]

MU shooting 8 for 29 (27%) with 0 for 4 from three.

DC is 4 for 10 from three and 5 for 10 from fts.

Vander 1 for 6 from field, 2 fouls
J. Wilson 0 for from field, two fouls
Otule 9 rebounds, 3 turnovers (two were brutal)

MU starts out 1 for 13 from field, but just down two.  Reason: Cohen with two fouls and sat, then they did not hit free throws.  

Second half:  Get #3 on Cohen fast.  
                  Cut down on rotation, Buzz was going just insane.

Hey Buzz!  I know you're checking SCOOP at Halftime. Stop with the Frechackta substitutions already and play the A team in the second half

[muwarrior97]

20 Mins solid in second half and we got dis ish!!!!! Let's go fellas

[T.V. Diener 34]

need to pound the ball down low in the second half early and go at their bigs that are in foul trouble

[muwarrior69]

I fear we had our chance when Cohen sat out and did squat with it. Now he can play the entire second half and we have no one who can guard him.

Did,nt Vander sit out quite a bit in the first half as well.

[chren21]

Everyone realizes that  vander got his 2nd foul at about 10 min mark...right?

[monkeyman34]

and then we proceeded to play much better after vander got his 2nd foul

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Buzz killed our run with Jake and Juan in at the same time

[Newsdreams]

Lets go guys kill them in 2nd half! Go Warriors!!

[muwarrior69]

Well lets hope they got their first half jitters out and settle down. What worries me most is that I hope don't they let them get hot from 3.

[Da 'Lanche]

2nd half is ours...we have better players.....better athletes...played like crap in first half....within 2 points...best players have been silent....seriously, we win by +5 at least....lets go MU

[nyg]

Lets go Vander and J. Wil. 

1 for 11 and that can't continue. 

[mileskishnish72]

TWO assists - what does that tell you?

[brewcity77]

27% shooting and we're only down 2?  We got this.

Reading my mind.

[ceh]

TWO assists - what does that tell you?

It tells me we're not giving the ball to Gardner enough.

[Steve Buscemi]

Davidson's students chanting "four eyes" at Otule.  Little do they know...

[NavinRJohnson]

Juan Amderson just can't play.

[Da 'Lanche]

Absolutely priceless... Chris on the line and Davidson fans trying to taunt him chanting "4  eyes!"

[mileskishnish72]

Juan is a detriment on D.
