MU/UCLA Game Thread

Wait, MU is only down 12? Feels like 37

[Pakuni]

Credit to GE for singlehandedly keeping this from being much, much worse

[CountryRoads]

I'm concerned that Kolek doesn't have the talent to consistently play at this level.

[Fred Garvin]

Ellis should have gotten a lot more of his minutes

[Stretchdeltsig]

He doesn't. And shouldn't be on the court. His awful shooting and turnovers hurt us big time.

[MuggsyB]

That's 16 ORebs given up

Think about this scoopers for a second.  And they have scored on a lot of them.  We weren't winning this game but had we got it under 10 at least they would have to earn the W.

It's infuriating when someone jacks up a three and everyone else watches and doesn't crash the boards at all...

Agreed.  This I do not understand,   And it would take one time out and talk ftom Shaka that you crash the boards or you crash the bench. 

[MuggsyB]

BTW peeps UCLA hasn't exactly lit it up.  36%.

[MUEng92]

I think UCLA is starting to look tired.  Here's where we make our run.

Get it to overtime and it's all ours.

[MUEng92]

We've lulled them into a false sense of security.   

[Daniel]

Kolek wants to get the ball out of his hands asap.   

[warriorstrack]

Yep

[Johnny B]

well made the score look respecatble? yay?

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

[NCMUFan]

Looks like we will split them halves.

[Daniel]

Really a nine point game with under a minute left......if we had hit some shots, this could have really been a game.   Wow

UCLA was beatable tonight. They didn't play well at all.

[MuggsyB]

I honestly don't think UCLA played particularly well minus the one stretch we allowed them to get out in transition.  Jaquez played well but that's about it.

I didn't even notice this being distracted by how bad MU played

[warriorstrack]

Agree 100%

Not allowed to celebrate unless we lost by less than 5.

[Herman Cain]

Greg played very well. Hopefully this will earn him more playing time in Big East games. We will need him.

Agrees.  Lose to the #4 team in the country by 11 when MU had a tremendously crappy game means if some shots fell when we were 2 for 15 from 3, we could have won.  Would have fired us up.   Winnable against the #4 team is a takeaway that could help us later.

I hear ya but essentially the game was over after 15 mins.  It was 33-10 and  they didn't really need to focus much after that.
