Is there any senior class in the history of basketball that will be missed less than this one? Juan and Derrick are two of the worst shooters on the planet.

I cringe to think what it will be like on senior day. They will be speaking in an empty arena.

I'll be there. They are bad basketball players but good kids who give max effort. Not their fault they were recruited to play at too high of a level.

Maybe I'm watching a different game but the guys in blue seem to be working hard out there. Nice Wojo huddle moment.

Don't blame the strength guy lol. Wasn't a problem when we went to 3 straight sweet-16's. Reality is our upperclassmen are a net-loss on the court. And the younger guys have 0 experience.

Young guys have 27 games under their belt now and still no better.  Game experience is only thing they have gained and it will take more than a strength coach to bulk up JJJ, Cohen, Fischer and Du. Wilson.  No Crowder, DJO and Gardner types, heck even Jamil Wilson and Junior had some bulk.  Current team looks like my local high school build.  

MU needs a big ass PF and a PG bad.  Henry will help, but Duane, Henry and Luke only true starters next year.  Any recruit who can shoot will have plenty of pt.

You know it's bad when......... rather than actually showing the game, the broadcasters are talking about a team that isn't even playing while the screenshot is a bird's eye view from the opposite end of the court and half of the monitor is being used to review aforementioned irrelevant team's tournament resume...

That is true. Wonder what that highlight video will look like ? Maybe it will just be a 7 minute wojo air punch compilation.

MU needs a lot of things...but the main thing is to have players who have something to bring on both sides of the ball. That's a huge part of the problem this year.

Agreed.  Gotta give it to Wojo in that regard.

Here we come.  If they don't get it to Du every time down the floor, they're just stupid......cuz that last shot by Du was sick.

The women are down three in the 2nd at DU. Bigger turnout than at the Allstate.

We would have all celebrated if we signed Dumn and DeR. - that's a fact although I have to admit I thought they would be better than #25. Derrick and Juan have to be the least improved 4 year seniors since their freshman year. In this new age of sports, sarcastically I say, maybe we can find some way to get them a trophy at year end.

The biggest problem today I see is we can't rebound. At all.

Juans antics on the bench prove why he should never see the floor. Guy is a clown.

We look over matched at every position with no dominating players.  What happened to Todd Smith?  He sure failed this year.

Du Wilson is keeping them in it, otherwise down over 20, shooting clinic, get him a PG next year.  JJJ must have grease on his hands today, really????

MU is down 17 to 5 in offensive rebounds.  Almost doubled totally.
