The secret may be to not play Joey?

He just needs to find a good coach to get the most out of him

Watched the last 15 minutes and Joey barely played other than a few seconds at the end. He’s really being phased out.

He's a streak shooter.  If he's missing open threes his faults become more glaring.  Especially the turns and matador D.  It could be letter time?

Joey Hauser obviously closed out his year at MU not so well.  Couldn't hang onto the ball, turnovers, etc.  I thought it was just a mental thing for him as he wasn't getting along with teammates, etc (and whatever the exact problems were with Markus shooting, etc, I don't know).  Two years removed, with normal development he should be way ahead of where he was at MU.  It doesn't seem like he has improved much.

But it seems like he is having some of the same problems.  And he can't guard bigs, and to slow to guard 3's.

Joey, maybe next year will be his year.  Would probably benefit from having a great shooter or two around him to give him space.  Maybe Markus was actually good for him.  Maybe we'll know next year - I can't imagine that MSU will be down for two years in a row.

Sam, same Sam.  He can play, but I don't think he can be the man.  A great Robin.

Joey final stat line 13 minutes 4 points 1 Rebound 3 turnovers 2-7 from the field including 0-3 from 3 point range.

Key win for the Spartans today over Indiana.

Izzo giving chances to players who are more physical.

Izzo said a couple days ago that guys would be playing for their jobs. He said he'd only give significant PT to those who were worthy, those who earned it.

We need some posters from scoop to go over and set those insensitive, uninformed Spartan fans straight about Joey.   All of their complaints about St. Joseph are Wojo's fault.

Well, there was one poster there who pointed out that Joey was at his most effective with a high scoring ball hog.

Seriously, tower, we're joking about this, but I believe what GOO says is true (and a few others have said it in the past):

Markus was such a focus of the defense, he created a TON of open shots for his teammates. Think of how many uncontested 3s were there for Sam, Joey, Bailey, Cain, Sacar, etc.

Now, Markus wasn't always the best at seeing open teammates; he was never a real PG and he loved to shoot. But the ball did find those guys plenty.

The time Sam scored 31 in the game at GT that Markus missed when Sam and Sacar shared PG duties has become the stuff of legend for the Scoopers who genuflect at the mere thought of anything Hauser. And that was a great feat, one I enjoyed very much. But the fact is that Sam also averaged more than 20 ppg (on 54% shooting, including 46% from 3) over the next 5 games with Markus back in the lineup.

Unfortunately, Sam went cold down the stretch, just as Markus struggled and Joey was on a milk carton. All that, combined with the bad chemistry, was our undoing.

I don't watch a lot of Michigan State basketball, but I'm guessing the younger Hauser isn't seeing as many wide-open looks as he got as an MU frosh. And now he isn't even getting much PT - which indicates that maybe, just maybe, his struggles at Marquette weren't somebody else's fault.

Yes.   Markus forced a lot of shots.  But his presence created open looks and prevented post double teams.


I go back a few games where Joey fouled out and committed a few turnovers in 14 minutes.   Izzo came over to talk to him and I read Joey's lips. 'I don't know what you want me to do.'

Sam 19 -8-3 in Cavs 1 point loss to Duke.

Sam missed a critical 3 pointer in the last minute that would have given UVA the lead

On the game's final play, it must have felt like deja vu to him as he could only watch while Kihei Clark dribbled down court, fumbled the ball, never for a second considered passing to Sam or anybody else, and then missed a desperation 3. Of course, the difference is that Clark is not a good shooter while Markus was one of the best shooters in the country.

Those end of game situations were probably my biggest pet peeve with Markus. MU might as well have had the other 4 guys stand under MU's defensive basket for all the difference it would have made in terms of who was going to touch the ball, and how many of the opponent's players were going to swarm Markus knowing the ball would never leave his hands.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

Article on UVA after loss.  One of their takeaways is Sam needs to keep looking for his shot.

Many of us used to say the same when Sam was here. He was a good post-up player and we wanted him to do it more.

Sam had a very good game yesterday. But down the stretch he missed his last 2 shots, including a wide-open 3, got the ball stolen from him, and also got away with an obvious travel.

And in defense of Clark, Sam didn’t work to get open on the final play. He just stood 25 feet from the hoop, with a defender nearby.

He needs a coach that will get him the ball

Sam 21 and 2 in Cavs loss to NC State.

Ice cold first half (2 points) and red hot 2nd half (19 points).

Virginia on a 3 game losing streak.  As I thought, a good but not great team.
