MU/UCONN Game Thread

[MuggsyB]

This is what bad coaches do. They can't maintain any momentum or shift gears when the next opponent is entirely different than the previous. Wojo is the highest paid cheerleader in the world.

I think it's fair to say that the last 15 mins of hoops is a microcosm of the entire Wojo era.  Totally inexcusable by every metric and fair analysis.  Getting out-toughed, out-worked, and haven't responded at all.  MU fans have every right to be angry.

I'm going to go with a 2nd half comeback. MU wins 61-60 on a last second Kobe step-back WTF is he doing...ok yeah that works kind of shot.

Roy Willians must feel like an idiot

This is funny

From 11-6 up to 38-21 down at the half. 32-10 after our solid start. Barring a spectacular comeback, we can put any at-large discussion to bed. It was already a thin hope, but losing today means it's BET title or bust.

Update: they are now 0/12 shooting.

Update x2: they are not 0/13 shooting.

Piss poor coaching by Wojo. Offensive was looking good the first few minutes then brought in a terrible lineup for a long stretch and Perez, Sy, etc just jacking wild shots.

The trio of KM, ST, and JP was head scratching.  And it was a long stretch.  Now, they didn't blow us out during that period but we lost any semblance of an offense.

Tough to come back against UConn for MU.    We have played no aspect of the game well so far.   Very slow on everything. 

[Boozemon Barro]

No one knows what to do when the other team plays hard.

When Carton came out, they went on something like a 10-0 run. Shows that Carton absolutely needs to be on the floor.

Let's see a reverse of game 1!

Our chances of that are worse than a snowball's in hell.

If anyone legitimately thought this team was running the table to close out the regular season, then their fandom emotionally compromised their logic.  This team has been consistently inconsistent, but always dependable in turning the ball over and going long stretches without being able to score (and still unable to beat pressure defenses). 

A roller coaster season for sure.

On the other hand...Carton is 0-6 from the floor...

[MuggsyB]

Again, we consistently fold against physical guards who ball-pressure.  This isn't new.  It honestly looks like we have never seen a trap.  No words can describe that 32-10 "run".  Utter garbage.

[4everwarriors]

Same old chit. Wonder if Woj paid Roy to lay down for him, hey?

[willie warrior]

Bouknight laughing at us. We have to toughen up to put it mildly.

Is he laughing at us, or Wojo? Either way, pretty embarassing.

[MuggsyB]

Good grief!!  Have you ever seen a team struggle so much at in bounding the ball???  WTF???  Smh.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

FIX THE FUCKING INBOUND PLAYS

[MuggsyB]

Wojo benches DJ to begin the 2bd half.

[mileskishnish72]

God, Jamal shoulda stayed in MKE.

[nyg]

Ha....Wojo finally disciplined someone. Pulled Carton after 20 seconds for throwing inbound ball away. 

[MuggsyB]

That wasn't a foul on McEwen.  Jeesh.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Koby didn't touch him

[curbina]

This is awful! Seven wasted years!

Yes, everyone gets it. Save it for the Fire Wojo threads.
