St. John's game thread

[nyg]

Please Duane Wilson, be healthy and practice hard. 

[jesmu84]

are the refs the reason we're losing? no. but there's been a LOT of home calls today.

[PGsHeroes32]

Derrick is a complete liability.

First his drive leads to 5 points.

Now his inability to shoot free throws gives them 2 more.

Seriously, how can you be that bad from the line?

[Wojo'sMojo]

Derrick Wilson is absolutely the worst ft shooter ever. Just terrible!!!!

[T.V. Diener 34]

LOL good offense baby!!!

[mileskishnish72]

Brick FT, uncontested jam - kiss my ass!!

[LloydMooresLegs]

He's been our best player today.

sadly true

[forgetful]

Curiosity, never really noticed it before so wondering if it is a actual problem, or just a few plays today.

But is Gardner really bad at setting picks.  Seems like he doesn't really try to screen a guy, rather is trying to get where he wants to go next to get the ball himself.  

[NavinRJohnson]

Todd Mayo is an absolute train wreck.

Derrick Wilson is absolutely the worst ft shooter ever. Just terrible!!!!

did you hear raft's groan on that one?

[connie]

It was a lot more fun watching Bucky lose than us getting our a$$ es handed to us.  And Bucky pulls ahead.  Arrrrgh.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Look how far we extend our defense compared to how far St Johns extends in the half court.  They are covering way less area than we are.  It is very tough to score when you can't stretch the defense.

Our guys aren't moving on offense, not even a little

[GGGG]

While we have give up some very open 3 pt looks defense is again not the problem.

Transition defense is horrid.

[Buzz Williams' Spillproof Chiclets Cup]

Buzz, your basketball team....woof.

[Newsdreams]

That was a BS call on Todd.

Used the ball to push the defender that is why he was called for the foul.

[NavinRJohnson]

He's been our best player today.

Yep. Not close.

[mugrack]

Nice game plan, don't get a shot off when playing for one shot

[source?]

Considering our second half struggles recently, can we expect 10?

[Daniel]

We have missed so many shots. Statistically, we must do better in half two. Regression to the mean. We go on a huge run in half two. Go Marquette!

[PGsHeroes32]

Transition defense is horrid.

St johns is on pace for 66 points...take away the 7 that derrick handed to them being so bad on offense and its way less.

We cannot score. 40 points is embarrassing.

[Dreadman24]

This is what happens when u let talented freshman sit on the bench.

[connie]

Nice game plan, don't get a shot off when playing for one shot

Seriously poor execution.

[muhoops1]

Rafferty and Johnson point out politely how bad we suck.  $100 Buzz says this was Todd's best game since he's been at MU.  They don't play hard.  Devante didn't even try for that last rebound.  Jamil mailing it in.  This team has no heart.  No Jae Crowder, No Lazar, No Wes Matthews, no one to will them to a win.  This team is just bad and taking on that mentality.

[NavinRJohnson]

We have missed so many shots. Statistically, we must do better in half two. Regression to the mean.

Not if they keep taking the crap shots they've been a taking in the first.

[Babybluejeans]

Score aside, it'd be nice if this team at least looked like they give a crap.
