Providence Game Thread

No sugar coating that. Pretty bad all around.

Hopefully they cool off but we need to play a lot better.

Get it to 7 by the 10 minute mark.

The bottom line Providence is much more athletic than MU and when a bad 3 point shooting team is on fire, good night.  Again, I have said all year that Bailey is average at best. Proved it again today, best part of first half was putting McEwen o. The bench who was horrible.

I will be glad when Howard is gone. This is not a basketball team. It is a one man show with four other guys whose only responsibilities are setting screens or getting the hell out of the way.

Our offense is terrible. Terrible. Terrible. 

I don’t know if our defense is also terrible or if their coach actually knows how to run an offense designed to get people open looks at the basket.

Maybe cuz only one of them is a legitimate scorer

Don’t forget “Markus isn’t the same since his butler injury”.  Even though looking back at years previous he has a history of the late season fizzle

The excuses will be flowing like crazy after this one..you can take that to the bank. One of the common one's after today's crap show I think will be "PC just shot the lights out, it happens, what can you do...on to the next one".

[BM1090]

Probably time to get rid of wojo. This is terrible.

Depends. Last two games we played okay and just missed shots. This has been a disaster.

If the collapse continues I'll slide to this side of things.

Eh. I don't think so. They are shooting the lights out but the plan and execution have been piss poor on both end. I can handle a loss but no excuse for this performance.

A coach should have a plan that will put their players in a position to win.

No. How many “legitimate scorers” does Providence have?

It’s not hard to be a legitimate scorer if your offense gives you multiple dunks and layups.

[WarriorPride68]

What offense do we run again? Terrible D and 11 turnovers, what do they work on in practice?

Thank you!

This is hilarious

[muguru]

The way MU starts 2nd halves this will be a 20 point deficit within no time.

This falls on coaching. Two years in a row with a late season collapse? You cannot tell me this is all on the players. We have 3 offensive plays, Markus off a series of screens, sacar coming off a screen driving with his strong hand, and a travel from your choice of Bailey, Cain, or Koby.

Markus is a great scorer, but his late season struggles also falls a great deal on coaching, IMO.  He is worn down and is so predictable right now it is truly sad to watch. 

I’ve been willing to be patient Wojo because of his recruiting ability, but guy appears to be lost between the lines.  Tough to watch.

There is a fourth offensive play that gets called extremely rarely.  When the team actually throws a pass to Jayce and Theo and they get called for the offensive foul trying to back their defender down.

[Class71]

The script for this show is getting rather old. Different year same old script. Why is the obvious not addressed?

Haha so true....

[WolfganghisKhan]

DO WE NOT CALL TRAVELS IN PRACTICE?!?!?

[nyg]

Nine seconds and another Koby turnover. 4.

I'm surprised that a guy who was an assistant at his alma mater for 15 seasons and never received any head coaching offers in that time is lost between the lines.

[Fred Garvin]

TAKE KOBY OUT NOW!!!!!!!

[WolfganghisKhan]

How many turnovers before we stop having Koby run the offense

[nyg]

Ninety seconds in, Koby number 5 turnover

[WolfganghisKhan]

Finally hit the roll man

[Goose]

Not looking forward to watching Koby take a ton of shots next year.

[muguru]

That is NOT a foul on Markus..Pipkins lowered his shoulder.
