Nova Thoughts

[tower912]

1.  Nova is #7 in the country.   MU is bad.   Predictable results
2.  Carlino's fall was one of the scariest things I have seen recently.
3.  Nobody can complain about lack of minutes tonight.
4.  Raftery sounded bored.    Can you blame him?
5.  MU's young guys now know what a top 10 looks like.   The bar has been set.   Get to work.

Not sure how anyone can disagree with any of that tower. We aren't good. Nova is. They have the horses and go deep too. 

Lots to work on.

[Johnny B]

Wow this season sucks hard

[tower912]

This is the first time all year that MU looked totally outclassed.   Competing hard wasn't enough tonight.   MU's record is about what I (and Pomeroy, and every objective prognosticator) thought it would be.   The team has give its all.   Tonight, MU learned what a really good team looks like at their gym.   I just hope it doesn't break their will.

We failed to capitalize on early turnovers and they made us pay repeatedly. Carlino's fall was terrifying. Honestly not sure he should have been allowed back in. Could very well have been concussed.

[Blackhat]

I think we're St. Louis right now.

JJJ, Du Wilson, Fischer, Cohen all need to hit weight room for next year.  Every other team seems much stronger and built better.  Like men against HS players.

JJJ played a lot and was 4 for 12.  At least he showed some offensive initiative/option besides
Carlino.  

MU has some tough games coming up, hope they can win a few to close out season, but we shall see.  It will be a significant challenge

Al had teams like this as well. Played hard but outclassed. We always supported the team. They deserve it when they give their all. Wojo will keep them together and they will fight the good fight and real fans will continue to watch their progress.

[Atticus]

The team made 15 two-point attempts.

15!!

[chapman]

They're better 1 through 8.

Leading scorer, with two threes made and no turnovers: JaJuan Johnson.  4-12, but whatever.  Let him roll, we might not win another game either way.

Keep recruitin'.

I miss DJO and Crowder.  Nothing like the dude that looks like he could kick the other guys' butts, and does...and screams "And 1" to boot.

The team made 15 two-point attempts.

15!!

Nothing wrong with that, Villanova made 12.  Just added 11 threes and 13 free throws to the mix.

My time at MU was the last two years of Majerus and the first two under Dukiet.   Never missed a home game that took place while I was on campus.   My continued support is a given.

6. Wojo better find a passionate rebounder for next year.

Unfortunately, our most passionate rebounder is our point guard.

Box score.  Oy.

Too bad he is the worst PG in the history of PGs.

Point guardS...tonight Carlino was our leading rebounder.   

[Newsdreams]

I got gas.

Of course you do.

One day closer to the end of this season.

[mu03eng]

One thing to keep in mind, we had very quality looks, especially early.  Some is dead legs some is just trying too hard.

next year those shots will fall and it'll be a different team.


Side note, not even close to an impact this game, but Wojo has got to get some respect from the officials somehow.  There were calls that just should be made(when Sandy was taken out mid-court in this game) and egregious ones missed the previous 3 games.  Not saying there is a bias but we are getting no respect whatsoever.

[PGsHeroes32]

Didn't really see much of the game but a couple of things

1. Good to see JJJ at least hit 2-3 3s. Man he needs some sort of confidence

2. I know it was probably more a result of it being a game where we were owned and simple not good enough for....but those are the minutes Id like to see for rest of year or pretty close. Less for Juan, more for Duane.

That stat isn't accurate.   He missed his first two before hitting any.    But agree in spirit.

Seeing the talent level differences tonight really highlights the importance of Wojo's recruiting for those last three spots in 2015.

What? Quality looks early and we had dead legs? Seriously? This team is pretty bad. Plain and simple. No shooters other than Carlino. We have basically four guys coming back (STJ has checked out) Next year will be just as bad as this year.

I have be seeing this trend as well. Last few games, no calls. Granted, we are not good, but we are just not getting any help and I don't see anything changing anytime soon. 4 of 7 at the charity stripe tonight.
