MU/Radford Game Thread

[MuggsyB]

Good grief.  WTF was that??

[21Jumpstreet]

Way too early takes:

Oso is going to be real good. Can't teach that athleticism.
Stevie is going to be real good. Can't teach that motor.
Jop ain't got it.*

*Hope this doesn't age well.

Jimmy Butler currently has 10 with 4 assists and 3 boards at the half.

I really want to know what Mark Anglavar is up to at the moment

[Galway Eagle]

Joey Hauser 18 pts, 10 boards for MSU (starter)
Greg Elliott 11 pts, 3 boards for Pitt (starter)

I mean Greg's a grad so go him but what type of weirdo is still following J Hauser?

Al, Hank, Rick, and Dukiet are still dead.

Al, Hank, Rick, and Dukiet are still dead.

Herman did resurrect

[goldeneagle91114]

Didn't someone say Joplin was the leading scorer in our second scrimmage? Not seeing that translate to game speed so far 🤷‍♂️

[Uncle Rico]

Al, Hank, Rick, and Dukiet are still dead.

We should have hired Rick Pitino instead of Bob Dukiet

As expected it's a close game at half. Probably will carry through to the mid to late 2nd half as well.

Some valuable minutes there at the end of the half with Kolek and Oso on the pine with 2 fouls a piece.  Going to need someone to step up in that spot in the future.

You're trying way too hard to push this narrative that Radford is a scary team.  Marquette is on pace to win by 16.

Hold on. Creighton is up 1 on St. Thomas at half??? 

[MuggsyB]

Up 1 with 16 mins left. 

[wadesworld]

Hold on. Creighton is up 1 on St. Thomas at half???

So a team that finished 50th at KenPom last year returned everyone and added a solid mid major transfer and they aren't a top 5 team?  Shocking!

They were up 5 at half...game has started again

[GoldenEagles03]

You're heavily misreading the situation.  I don't think Radford is scary at all. They are just somewhat competent and that's all you need to stay in a game 1 of a season.

Nerves, jitters, uncertainty. A lot of unknowns.

[Jay Bee]

St Thomas is tricky.

[MUEng92]

Tied with 13 minutes left.  Is St. Thomas Div 1?

[MuggsyB]

Total flop.

[NolongerWarriors]

Who started the talk about Joplin being a great scorer this season?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Fart.

Tied with 13 minutes left.  Is St. Thomas Div 1?

Yes. And their fan base claims they are in line for a BEast invite...

And honestly, we should offer one after this showing. They have a top 60 recruiting class for their small school...

Let's remove DePaul.

[fjm]

Prosper and Mitchell D has been great.

[MuggsyB]

Beautiful slip and flush from Oso.  We really need that kid on the floor. 

[MuggsyB]

Points off turns is the only reason Radford is in this game.  We're a bit out of control off the bounce and over dribbling.  Move the ball when help comes. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Oso with 3 fouls is no bueno.

Full slop since he left.

Wrightsil wildly drives and kicks and then SJ wildly dribbles. Gotta relax a bit in half court at least.
