Buzz needs to stop the tubby smith bs. Roll with your top 7 and use depth when needed for foul trouble. Vander and Jamil shouldn't leave the floor.

[chapman]

Is Gardner afraid of foul #2 or committing another turnover?  You have 50 pounds on everybody on their roster, play like it.

[The Process]

Mayo should be firmly parked on the bench going forward.

That isn't what got us here.

[Niv Berkowitz]

D wilsons first fg attempt in what, four games? That last offensive series was the worst sin Marcus Jackson was running the point.

Mauo should not return.

But.....glad we are only down 8 and we get the ball to start the half. Regroup, get it down low and, oh yeah, guard!!!

[TSmith34, Inc.]

We need LloydMooresLegs to determine if this is doable

He's not getting any calls down low.  It's getting pretty rough.

As bad as Junior has been, Derrick Wilson is comically bad. He is half of a player.

[Da 'Lanche]

That was a bizarre half....the last minute was a perfect description...wow.    Need our best players to step up....need to guard the 3....need junior to sober up and buzz to walk off whatever is exciting his brain with constant substitutions....need to board...everything.....we can be okay.

MU finds a way in second half....I believe

[nyg]

Clarke has 18 points, which is 52% of BU's total.

BU is 7 for 13 from three.

MU shooting 7 for 27 from field (25%)
11 for 12 from free throws.  Thats 11 out of their 27 points.

Junior has 0 points and two terrible turnovers
Gardner has no field goals and two turnovers.

That one sequence where MU missed like 5 shots was just like high school basketball.

MU has shut down Marshall, but it is the Clarke show.  Better make some adjustments quickly.  

MU should get the ball and needs another good second half start.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Charles Barkley....so true.

Buzz, get some shooters.   

[ecompt]

when Buzz said, "We can't shoot," he wasn't lying. Other than that 60-second stretch against Davidson, this is one godawful shooting team. 7-for-27 in the half?

[nyg]

More turnovers than field goals = loss.

[AlienWarrior]

Barkley just said that we are a tough team to watch b/c we can't shoot. That's how I've felt all season. We play tough defence that keeps us in most games though.

[T.V. Diener 34]

the one thing i don't understand is how you can be so bad at shooting when you play basketball every single day of your life??  i understand some guys just can't shoot but literally this entire team cannot make a jumpshot to save their lives

[muwarrior87]

Step one for the second half:  keep someone in Clark's pocket at all times!
Step two:  get to the basket and show some intelligent intensity on offense.

[4everwarriors]

We're not gonna pick up any shooters at half time. Buzz needs to adjust his defense on Clarke. Problem is he's too quick for anyone on this team other than Blue and Blue will foul out if guarding him.

Settle down everyone. We got them where wewant 'em.

We will win. Period.  Legs, get the good karma flowing.

So, what's everyone drinking tonight?  

Jack on the rocks here.

[LloydMooresLegs]

We need LloydMooresLegs to determine if this is doable

I've been thinking about it. Let's see:

Down 8, 20 minutes to go.  Doable.

[T.V. Diener 34]

we gotta keep that zone going.... it makes it a lot harder for them to set ball screens for clarke to come off of

[LloydMooresLegs]

Settle down everyone. We got me where we want 'em.

We will win. Period.  Legs, get the good karma flowing.

I made the switch from Alpha Dog to Black Top.  Let's go guys.

[SoCalEagle]

Stuff it Barkley.

Bingo. Hard to believe with all the ball they play they we can't put the ball in the basket consistently. By no means giving up on this game, but the criteria next year has to be being able to defend OR being able to put the ball in the hole!

[fanofTR]

The minute Duane Wilson steps foot on campus he becomes the best shooter on this team. Too bad he cant suit up at halftime
