will derrick make or miss the free throw??????

less than a 50/50 chance he makes it.

Let that sink in for a moment.

When's the last time MU guards were out scores so badly? Man. If EVER there's someone who doesn't think college hoops is a guards-game, reference MU, 2013-14 season.

will derrick make or miss the free throw??????

Miss, of course, then we will foul them and they'll hit their FTs

[Nevada233]

miss

lol... he missed it already... and we on time out

[chapman]

In a honesty, for ALL of our collective bitching about JT, buzz isn't exactly setting him up for success.

Spot on.  Either get him in position to hit attempt some shots, or sub him.  Not sure how Buzz has just gone back to letting it ride.

This MU team plays weak. All the loose balls are novas, spacing is real poor, no real leader, missed assignments. Such a difference from Buzzs past teams. novas pg is a heady player, start with that.

[mileskishnish72]

The Jake era should be over.

[nyg]

MU has not taken a three in second half, still 1 for 5.  Nova has taken 27.

MU is 12 for 21 from ft, with two front end misses.

Jake still has not taken a shot.  

No JJJ, Juan and very limited Burton/Dawson/Mayo in second half.

Why more Thomas and less Mayo very confusing.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Giving this one away. Completely giving it away. I'm not even that impressed with Nova honestly

I agree with the latter, but not the former.  Even when we were down by 1 it feels like we're down 7 to 10 the entire game.  Hard to give away something you never had.  If we end up winning this it will be one of those games where I would say how is that possible....just as there have games in the past where we were leading 39 minutes and lost said the same thing.

Just feels like we're a step slow to rotate, to a rebound, to a loose ball all day long.

[AZWarrior]

In a honesty, for ALL of our collective bitching about JT, buzz isn't exactly setting him up for success.

Agreed.  As was alluded to earlier, against a team like this, Buzz either needs to be calling plays (double screens, etc) that will get Jake open, or get Jake out of the game.

[Nevada233]

Spot on.  Either get him in position to hit attempt some shots, or sub him.  Not sure how Buzz has just gone back to letting it ride.

yeah hes played 22 meaningless minutes...

[ChicosBailBonds]

wow

[madtownwarrior]

Keep riding him buzz

[Niv Berkowitz]

I miss Junior.

[PGsHeroes32]

This is just ridiculous.

play your best fucking players.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Game over.

[ChicosBailBonds]

A king's ransom for a MU guard like that

[Wojo'sMojo]

See Derrick that's how a pg makes his teammates better smh

[nyg]

See Derrick that's how a pg makes his teammates better smh

Someone mentioned earlier about not liking Archie, but man who would you rather have Archie or Derrick.  Not even close......

[Norm]

How was that not over the back by Pinkston?

[chapman]

"Some guys have a nice assist to turnover ratio but they're not really creators"

Even Wayne Larrivee gets that.

[Niv Berkowitz]

Set play 3 pt attempt for jamil coming up.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

But yeah, let's keep playing D. Wilson and sitting Dawson, because it's not like Dawson has EVER proved he can lead a team to a win.

[77ncaachamps]

Trying to get my mind of this debacle...

What does it say on the right hip/thigh of these MU shorts? AL?

[Norm]

Nova catches another break with no travel call and get the TO
