Someone is gonna have to guard Ponds

[NickelDimer]

Frustrating half. No where near up to our potential

[MUBigDance]

Ponds has nba quick...need to knock him off game and hope we compensate for his 30

[muhoops1]

Wojo has got to devise a way to get the little guys open.  Pick n pop has been scouted.  3 man weave up top is stale.  Ball movement is hectic and inefficient.  Coach needs to earn his salary in 2nd half.

Keep playing zone! I don't think they have scored on our zone.

[Daniel]

Too man turnovers and need aggressive rebounding.   We are in this game.  If someone other than Rowsey and Hauser can score in half two we can win this one

[muwarrior69]

Jesus, Markus looks sick

Wonder if he is getting the flu. I guess Theo is still sick.

[Bad_Reporter]

This could be really bad if johnnies could hit the 3.  Play zone, pack it in, hope the don't get hot.

Preach! I thought the zone looked pretty good.

[cheebs09]

We did this against Brunson too. Switch our big guy onto Ponds with no resistance on the screen and provide no help. I don't understand it.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

We should be winning this game by 10 points. Howard has a penchant for trying to get himself going at the worst possible times.

For some reason, I like our chances in this one.

[Norm]

Only 3 players for MU have scored - need more balance

[skianth16]

If Theo is sick, shouldn't they consider not having him on the bench and I'm such close proximity to the other guys? Seems like a no brainer to me.

Well, we knew before hand had to stop Ponds.  He has 17 of STJ 34 points.

Two fouls on Simon and Owens, need to get them 3 early, very early.

Rowsey has taken 13 of MU's 29 shots, he is 5 for 13 and has 19 of MU's 32.  A lot of bad shots though and one miracle.   MU 4 for 13 from three

MU up 26-19 and Cain makes a dumb travel, went downhill from there with STJ on 15-6 run, with MU fouling, turnovers, etc.  Stated earlier, thought Wojo should have called timeout.

MU seems to be letting clock run down and then shooting with seconds on clock, don't get it.

A lot of time, get them in foul trouble and please stop the dumb turnovers

[forgetful]

Dude he literally got pulled for that shot.

The announcers called it bad

They showed Wojo talking to him

What in the actual fu ck are you watching?

He took it from 40 feet

You clearly are not paying attention. Pick left him wide open dribbling left, shot it from about 24 feet.  They design the offense for shots just like that.

Announcers did not call it a bad shot, called it "off the mark" and his first "bad miss" meaning it wasn't in and out.

Coach didn't pull him for that, it was part of a planned substitution at under 4. 

Rewatched it, it is 100% as I remembered and stated.

Hahahahhahahahaha please stop.

He literally pulled him and took him aside.

The announcers called the shot bad the moment he took it.

And for you to say that's the shot you want EVERY SINGLE time in a game is psychotic.

Any team loses by 30 every game if they only take that shot with 40% shooters

[forgetful]

We just need to make shots.  We left 10-12 point on the board simply by missing shots we should, and normally do make. 

My guess is we shoot better than 31% from 3, and better than 35% from the floor the rest of the way.  If we do, we should win.

Do you realize that 40% from 3 is a 60% eFG%, and that eFG% would win us every single game? 

Might need to put you on ignore with Mayfair.

Fourth blocked layup, three on Sacar trying, then Heldt come out to foul line area to guard, and Howard gets caught on Owens.  Now a good timeout.  What an ugly start.

Definitely not the start to the 2nd half I was expecting. 

Owens shooting 3's is something we want...of course he makes it.

[WolfganghisKhan]

Hauser having a dreadful defensive game. Nobody looks to pass when they drive to the basket.

[MUEng92]

that was one of the worst passes I have ever seen

[MUBigDance]

Everyone who said zone zone zone was right

[forgetful]

that was one of the worst passes I have ever seen

He should have kept it and attacked the hoop.

He's a Rowsey hater. Always has been. He hated Carlino as well.
