Needed a blue pill......
« on: November 15, 2022, 09:27:07 PM »
1.   ..... to deal with Edey.      Seriously, Oso did as well as anyone could have asked.
2.  Having somebody able to stop Smith from penetrating (tie in with Blue Pill) down the stretch would have been helpful, too. 
3.  Have to make open 3's.
4.   Does anyone wish to apologize to Joplin for what they said about him in the first half?    Holy Ghost of Vinny Johnson.   He still did some silly things after his scoring binge. 
5.  Gold shouldn't have called Edey slow.   He seemed to take special pleasure in dunking on him.
6. I feel like Painter had more options than Shaka tonight.
7.  Can't have dry spells on the road late.   
8.  It wasn't dull.    MU competed like hell.   So did Purdue.   In the end, MU continued the tradition of losing their first road game against good teams. 
9.   Learn, get better.    Alas.

First road game of the season is a loss until proven otherwise.

Teams are going to stick to Kam and Jop like glue and beg OMax, Kolek, Stevie, Ben Gold, and Chase to score.

Stevie was not > Morsell defensively in the first game against high majors today.

Good effort.  Not enough talent on the roster to win these tough road games yet.

Tyler Kolek was very poor down the stretch too.

Got up and started jacking threes (blue pill:)..). That’s when Purdue went on their run.

Just came up short at the end while the big man took over. Thought that we may be able to ride Joplin's hot hand and steal a W on the road. Oh well.

Why will they start falling?

Just because you want them to?

For the record, count me as someone who would take Edey's garbage 20 and 13 on 8/11 shooting on my team.

I'm really liking this squad. No one wins at Mackey so a tough ask regardless. They played well and weren't intimidated by the crowd. Oso has come along nicely. Dare I say, most likely to play in the league?

we have 2 streaky shooters. everyone said last year the talent needed to be upgraded. shaka didn't do that in the offseason. I really don't expect anything this season, if the team sticks together they will be good in 2 years.......hopefully

“Joplin will finish with 21 points” would have been the most unbelievable thing you could have told me at halftime

Not a lot of complaints. This team might be just as good on a neutral court. If their flaw is they don't have a 7'4 monster on HGH, ok.

This is obviously the kind of team Shaka wants, because it's looking to be the same talent level overall.

Maybe they can have a midseason hot streak again.

Thought the team played well. Ran out of steam in the stretch. Hopefully the genre can lead. From the experience .

Team was well prepared for the game
