17 year old thoughts.

[tower912]

1.  Really enjoyed seeing a game in person
2.  That 17 year old is pretty good.
3.  Apparently, wojo was serious about being disappointed  by the lack of senior leadership.
4.  Hmm, that Heldt kid is progressing.  Didn't I say that earlier today?
5.  Great game, great atmosphere.   Next.

6. Perfect storm working against X.  Too bad.  No mercy

Called 4 out of 5 of this lineup earlier. Said that we have no hieght.  Lets just score. Lineup is nuts.

[Big Papi]

About time Wojo does something different.  That starting lineup change was needed 2 games ago and it made a huge difference.  The defending and energy was much better with Duane and Heldt starting and playing additional minutes.

Get rid of the 1-3-1, it is played awful.  They all play way too high up.

JJJ must have been awful this week in practice to not get a single minute.

Great game by Howard. 

We need better decision making on some of those shots.  X could have easily got back into this game if a few of theirs had fallen in.

Wojo was in a very huggy mood today.  Duane at the 13 minute mark of the 1st half. Rowsey later on and then Howard at the end.  I wonder if Wojo and JJJ will hug it out in the locker room.

About time we played some defense and had the energy and passion on the court.

Lets keep this going.

Anyone else wish they  were watching this game with Ners so they could see his head explode?

Can't beat Lloyd Moore's Legs and DJO's Jaw- maybe if we added Merrit's Mustache - helluva a 3 on 3 squad.

Oh--the Heldt hug was the best one.  Wojo then looked at the crowd and raised his arms looking for appreciation for Matt.  Prett cool from a coach--however there was still 8 min left and it was no time for celebrating.

I'm fairly certain we didn't play a single possession in the 1-3-1 defense.

End of the first half and gave up an easy bucket.

[wadesworld]

My thoughts on the game?

HELDT YEAH!

[wadesworld]

End of the first half and gave up an easy bucket.

Are you sure it wasn't a 2-3?  I only remember one possession of zone the whole game and it was a 2-3 that we ended up giving a layup on when they overloaded 1 side and Heldt was left trying to guard 2 guys at the basket.

My thoughts on the game?

HELDT YEAH!

[Anti-Dentite]

MU played a nice game tonight, some new looks and angles to help free up the 3 point shooting. Good intensity, played hard. Hopefully leads to a nice little late season push.

[Golden Avalanche]

I'm fairly certain we didn't play a single possession in the 1-3-1 defense.

Wojo matched Mack at the end of the first half with it.

[MU82]

Yes, as I watched this I was thinking that there was too much Wojo hugging.

That'll do us in, for sure.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Wojo killed the zone. He clearly reads Paint Touches for all his coaching insights.

[connie]

The opening flurry may have skewed my perception, but the effort seemed to be back as well. 

[tower912]

The defensive intensity was there all night.

[mileskishnish72]

Need some payback with the Johnnies.

[dgies9156]

I'm excited about our win and it leaves us in the hunt for a tournament berth. But.....

1) We won because we were a streaky shooting team at the outset of the halves. Rowsey was on fire in the first half and Howard in the second. We're not going to come even close to Markus having 31 point nights most nights.

2) Xavier had a miserable shooting night. Period. Perhaps that was our defense (I hope so) but it could just be they had a bad night.

3) We feed off NMD momentum, with a sell-out at the BC. That's not going to happen again this year.

4) What's the story with JjJ? Man that one was a head scratcher.

Overall, a fun game to watch and a very good win. But, we have a tough road to slog in the next couple of weeks if we intend to make the NCAAs.

MU at 35 now ahead of X at 37 in Pomeroy.
