we do not ever defend the three even with the "elite defender" Derrick Wilson

[mileskishnish72]

Jake needs to sit - he just can't get a shot off against athletic opponents.

[JWags85]

yikes, how do you miss that alley oop? And of course they get a 3 on the other end. geez....

By having no hops?

[Norm]

If we're going to win this, we need Jamil Wilson to show some life in the 2nd half, see more Dawson and less D Wilson, feed the post constantly and get Nova into foul trouble.

Him playing is fine but if it's him Derrick and Chris together it's a disaster... And I'm being generous.

[ecompt]

Jake has zero business playing a second against a team like this. Can't get off a shot, can't defend.

[LloydMooresLegs]

By having no hops?

One thing he has is hops

[mileskishnish72]

Disagree - can't recall a shot or a pass other than around the periphery. Defense suspicious as well.

[Sunbelt15]

Use the backboard.

[DCWarriors04]

If you can make an alley oop look that ugly, you belong on the bench, especially when your guy hits a 3 moments later and your know for playing tight D.

[Lennys Tap]

Good first half by Davante. Everyone else mediocre or worse. Burton the biggest disappointment.

[MUeng]

Whats the word on anderson not playing?

[Nevada233]

id play Derrick and Dawson at the same time... Jake has no reason being on the floor today

[mileskishnish72]

Dion needs some instruction re: D.

[nyg]

NOVA is 47% with 7 for 16 from three.

MU is 52%, with 1 for 5 from three.  MU has taken 7 less fg attempts

MU is 4 for 9 from ft (UGH)

NOVA leads rebounds 17 to 15, closer than I thought

Jake has 0 points, has not taken a shot and has 2 turnovers

DWil has 2 points, 1 for 3, 5 rebs., 3 assists, 2 tos(one ugly)
Dawson has 3 points, 1 for 4, 0 assists, 0 rebs, 0 tos.  

No Anderson, no JJJ, limited Burton, limited Otule.  Dawson played less than I thought.

[LAZER]

Why not play Dawson at the 2 when Wilson is playing point?

[Niv Berkowitz]

Jake has zero business playing a second against a team like this. Can't get off a shot, can't defend.

Jake needs to have two plays called for him in the first cple minutes of the half to keep nova honest. Otherwise, no point having him in today.

I'd play Todd and Dawson.  We need offense.

[willie warrior]

Jamil asleep on the back door

Jamil Wilson is the worst defender on the team. Absolutely being schooled.

[We R Final Four]

Dion needs some instruction re: D.

Who? Neon Deon?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Why not play Dawson at the 2 when Wilson is playing point?

Hhaha what?????

[mileskishnish72]

Nothing wrong with no Juan - he's looked like an intramural player the last five games or so.

[geagles10]

a no brainer for Wright at half, they will double Gardner on the catch from here on out.  Unless guys start hitting shots, or are even able to get shots off.  I could also see some zone as well.  We are going to need to get hot from outside in order to break ahead.

[willie warrior]

Guess Bell is the opposing player who will have a career high against MU today.

No--against Jamil who is playing D with his head up his kielbasa.

He's bad.
