Providence game thread

Couldn't have played worse and down 1, have to be encouraged. Key will be how long rowsey can go without getting that fourth foul.

[MUEng92]

I can't believe this is a one point game! That's the bright side.  The chaplain might have to suit up by the end of the game with these fouls though.

[Boozemon Barro]

You could hear the ref say "look at me!!"

"Do what you want to do!"

[forgetful]

We played our worst half of basketball in years; we are only down 1. 

[GoldenWarrior11]

Well... that was not pretty.

[fjm]

MU should be down 10. This is an extremely rough first half. sheesh.

[Jockey]

Missed layup
Missed layup Theo, really?

He missed it by 3 feet!!!

[muwarrior69]

PROvidence is terrible

..but are we worse?

[MU86NC]

We are still completely in this game!  Frolling is lost.  Marcus needs to step up.  Howser hasn't done anything... like the freshmen. 

[5DollarPitcher]

I like Swin Cash as an analyst here at halftime.  Theo needs to stop trying to break the backboard a la Shaq.

[Lighthouse 84]

At the end of the half, we had 3 freshmen and two sophomores on the floor. Give that some thought.  And we' Only down 1.

We got this.

[forgetful]

I have faith that we will make more than 2 threes in the 2nd half and be called for fewer than 12 fouls. Howard also gets out of his funk.  Better ball movement and an inside out game.

..but are we worse?

I keep expecting this team to start clicking, but it seems that it is just not gonna happen.  Markus can only shoot n maybe now cant do that.  Froling at least a year away, as is Cain, Sacar, Elliott and Theo.  Rowsey plays like a sophomore and Hauser needs to be more aggressive. Heldt is a good defensive player only.
Seems the season is going to be an up and down affair with zero consistency, not solid enuff offensively to overcome bad defense and poor rebounding.

If I were strange enough to keep stats on myself, I would be approaching a season high in the number number of times saying "What are you doing?!?!?"

What's the MU record for consecutive FT's made? Both in one season and overall?

Pretty sure Novak's was 65

[brewcity77]

Four guys in foul trouble, can't get an open three to save our lives, and only down one? Not sure how that happened. Though with these liberal whistles and the team playing schizophrenic, I'm taking nothing for granted. This could go either way but this is one we should win.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

If you had told me that we would go 2-8 from three in the first half I would have expected us to be down 7-10 points. Instead we are down 1. Really ugly half but I think we pull this one out in the second.

Nice 3 Markus

[PGsHeroes32]

Did this announcer imply Markus banked that 3 in??

[drewm88]

Pretty sure Novak's was 65

[PGsHeroes32]

This is nice

[5DollarPitcher]
