Without Sanogo, there'd be no UConn off to the races today.

1.   Bigger stronger faster.     
2.   Bully ball on the boards.    Offensive rebounds got UConn their lead and broke MU's back in the end.
3.   Pushing the ball in transition in the first half.
4.   Almost no help from UConn on defense.    Certainly staying at home on Morsell and Lewis.    Took away the passing game.   Made Morsell miss some shots he has been hitting recently.   Really not afraid of MU down low.   
5.  Oso, 20 lbs from now, is going to be an absolute unicorn on offense.     So close but not quite strong enough on some of these finishes.    Better than Kuath tonight.   
6.  Sanogo went out in the second half and Oso in on defense,  MU started switching all 5.   Whaley got an offensive board and got fouled, but I don't remember switching 1-5.   Just for a second, just to see how it feels.   
7.   Nice work from OMP and Greg.     
8.   MU fought and fought and fought.   
9.  Free throws.   Well, you know....,.
10.   There are often lessons to be learned in losses.    There was nothing new tonight.    Just reinforcing what we know.    MU can be beat on the boards.   MU struggles with big, strong post players.    UConn worked hard tonight and earned the win.
11.    Take care of the games against the bottom dwellers.

Thought we played pretty bad and still cut into the lead a few times. Horrible rebounding, missed some free throws, thought we let their defensive pressure make our offense rushed, Kolek and Morsell were nowhere near where they need to be. Didn't think Lewis had a good first half, but he (along with Greg and OMax) tried to get us back into it.

Rebounding will end our season.

Kolek not good. 1 for 7 from field and he guarded Martin who went for 18/15
Morsell not good.  3 for 12 from field.

Rebounds. UConn 47. MU 25. Sanogo and Martin had 30, more than entire MU squad. 

Turnovers MU 6 and UConn had 14.  MU still loses. 

Loss at Providence was getting destroyed on boards

Hope MU gets back on track. Don't overlook Butler away game. Do not overlook.

Hero ball from Justin, Kolek and Daryl killed us. Kam even had a ridiculous drive to nowhere.

No one was playing for their teammates for a bit

Regression to the mean. These are the team match-ups that beat Shaka composed teams.

Think it was Kolek's worst game at MU.  They happen.  He should work on a floater this summer.  Darryl wasn't great either as you said.

The offense devolved into a lot of one on one..which partially was a function of Kolek being off the floor a fair amount.  OMP was great on his one on ones.

I'd say this is a pretty big over-generalization.  Ken Pom had this game between 4-6 point margin.  Marquette was supposed to lose. 

I mean it is Year 1 of Shaka.  He'll get a banger in the mix.  Hurley is in Year 4.  Let's not forget how incredible this team is performing.

Oso was better than Kur, but not by much. Still brutal

Huge win for Gard and UW tonight at Mich St.

Great coaching adjustments by Gard in limiting Michigan State's fast break points (only 4 pts tonight vs 21 their last meeting), which destroyed the Badgers in Madison.

Uncle Rico

One of the more disjointed efforts of the season.  Forced turnovers but never felt like it got the offense grooving.  Teams are making it difficult for Kolek to be a creator and the offense stagnates. 

Rebounding was an issue and really killed them in the final 8.  Thought the defense was good enough overall but rebounding mattered tonight.

So what?

I felt like Greg dribbled way too much tonight. He's much stronger as a catch and shoot player than as a creator or dribble-drive guy.

100% there was almost zero MU related analysis.  It was all from the UConn perspective.  Would have loved for MU to steal this game in the last seconds so Donnie would have been forced to talk about MU.  He was treating it like Marquette was "fools gold" and not legit.  Hopefully we beat them at MSG.

You better enjoy this run because once Johnny Davis leaves after this season, I don't see a whole lot of talent on that roster.  So, enjoy your Round of 32 exit, and then tune in to watch MU play in the Sweet 16.

Agree.  Sidenote:  Tyrese Martin had 15 rebounds.  That can't happen.  He's got a 15.8% Defensive Rebounding rate..the same as O-Max and Kur basically.

MU 8-2 in the gauntlet. I'll take it. But still would prefer 10-0.

DegenerateDish

I thought MU's passing was sloppy tonight too, not in a turnover sense, but where guys were catching the ball. Felt like a lot of times an MU player would catch a pass at a weird angle and have to re-set their feet.
