Again... what adjustments?


Yeah on a team built to do one thing, you really can't "adjust" to do something else when shots don't fall.

AlienWarrior

This team is the result of  a politically correct mascot and coach, just the opposite of our glory years

lurch91

The only thing I can fault Wojo for is not going at Azubuike in the second half.  But MU was so eager to turn the ball over, they couldn't set up the offense to try.and pound it inside to see if Uzubuike would fool.

D'Lo Brown

Good game. Last two games should give these men a chip on their shoulder. All that matters is that they learn as much as they can and take it with them through the season.

It's a little frightening to me, the amount of people on here that seem to be teetering on a mental breakdown purely based on MU basketball game results. You win and lose games in sports. And we are just watching. Life will go on tomorrow.

nyg

Open threes in first half.  KU made changes. MU players were lost and staff did not give proper guidance.

Nine minutes without scoring to open a half is an embarrassment. 

Markus 6 for 23.  Yikes

Brendan Bailey not shy for a guy shooting 2 for 16 from field on season.  Thats 12%.

Morrow, well even Fran said he was a disappointment so far.  He's not wrong:
On the season: five games:  14 points, 7 rebounds, 10 turnovers, 10 fouls.

I don't know how you let a team piss away a lead on a 0-22 run without at least calling a time out. Guy can't coach. He can recruit, but can't coach.

Did you see anything from Wojo that suggested he could coach? I saw a coach that told Sam and Markus to shoot whenever they could and hoped for the best. Every time a player caught the ball it was 1-5. No actual offense. Defense is the same it's been for 5 years.


Yeah that's pretty much a very poor description of what the game was.

I literally can't believe people are okay with this result. I'm honestly shook. Kansas made adjustments and went on a 22-0 run and we didn't score for 10 minutes and people are okay. Is this the DePaul forum?

Program has fallen over the years. So have standards

Adjustments for what!? What adjustments did everyone want them to make?

Kansas did not exploit us in the second half. They literally scored almost the same amount. We missed a ton of decent / good shots...

Go to the hoop and get to the line,  they started guarding above the 3 point line.  The 3's we were shooting in the second were more heavily contested.  And I don't know use a pump fake every once in a while.

I'm confused. A guy shooting 4 shots a game isn't shy?

Herman Cain

The second half was a disappointment. Hopefully the team can regroup and beat Louisville.

Who should go to the hoop?  Who can beat someone off the dribble with any consistency? They have one player who can do that, and he's dinky. 

PuertoRicanNightmare

Howard had a solid first half but even when he's scoring he doesn't seem to take the right shot at the right time.

I've never seen a good player take more I'll advised shots/passes at the worst possible time. And it goes both ways! We can be on a roll and he'll decide he needs to be a part of it and pffft...run over. Or we can be on a 0-15 run and he thinks he needs to end it and he'll make some ill advised drive to the basket!

This is true.  If we don't shoot it at a really high level from 3, we lose against solid teams.  Virtually no 2pt FG ability/offensive sets, and little to no ability to get to the line - other than Sacar and perhaps Joey.

Guys if I told you before the season that we'd lose to the #2 team in the country before the season started you would be happy.  Jesuits love crapty coaches, push out the good ones.  Take as old as time.

tower912

Missed lay ups by Theo.  Missed lay ups by Markus with contact and no call.  Missed floater by Sacar.  Missed open 3s.  MU got looks.

No moral vicories but we got a nice look at this team's ceiling and it looked like a team that can compete for a BE title.

I don't mind losing, I'm minding the way we are losing.

Yeah but rocky, we didn't adjust or make adjustments for their amazing offense in the second half...

Yes, I agree.  But let me quote myself again just to reinforce my obnoxious point. :)

Cain and anim were already doing it, but too scared to go strong to the basket and absorb contact.  Did you see the actions at the basket we were running with Sam and Joey in the high post with 5 min left to dish to off ball cutters?

You mean, by scoring less points than the opponent.  Yes, I hate losing that way too.

No, by getting severely out coached. Imagine scoring zero points in 10 minutes and being satisfied. Couldn't be me.

9 point neutral court loss to (at worst) a top 5 team. 3 hours ago, everyone would have taken that, and more importantly, that's all it will be seen as in March.

I'll stick with my opinion on Gold.  He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

We may be top 3 in a 2 bid league.
