MU/Chi-State Game Thread

[Newsdreams]

There's 0.0 reason for guys to be playing too fast while simultaneously having no court awareness.  They need to chill out and find their balance once they ger into the paint.

It is practice

[CountryRoads]

Nice timeout there.

[MuggsyB]

Terrible execution on both ends of the floor to close the half.  Whatever happened to passing the basketball?

[Newsdreams]

Need to implement D in second half

[NCMUFan]

Was that Wrightsil that they showed with the crutches?

[mileskishnish72]

Between a tournament and Baylor, about what you’d expect. Have to agree, though, there are some things that (at this stage) look a bit rough.

NBA pick Omax set a terrible screen, cost them basically final shot, then Chicago scored, possible four point swing.  He also missed two three footers to start the game and two turnovers off his knees from dribbling at 100 mph. 

One guy has almost half of Chicagos points.

Ross lots of playing time, Joplin not so much playing time.  Ross is very, very more athletic, better driver and especially defensively than Joplin.

Exactly.  Extremely disappointed in the first half and our lack of poise and attention to detail.

Not on crushes that should be EE

Agree with all of the above.  O-Max looks all kinds of out of sorts.  Needs to slow down.  I think Chase ends up getting more minutes this season than Joplin.  Jop seems like he needs another year of strength/conditioning to improve his quickness/athleticism.

A poor first half but still in the lead by 7.
Second half better  be lights out good for MU

[MuggsyB]

That should have been a dunk in transition, instead we take a three.  Frustrating. 

[MUEng92]

Omax, 1 against 3

[MuggsyB]

Whew.  Tough fall there from Oso. 

[MUEng92]

You know it’s a buy game when a 4 yr old is lying on two front row chairs with his head on his mom’s lap while a player nearly takes him out trying to get a ball going out of bounds

[MuggsyB]

Don't understand that shot by Kam at all. 

[MUEng92]

Shaka doesn’t take his hands off his hips while Kam shots from 29’. He just turns to the bench and tells someone to go in for Kam

[PointWarrior]

Chucker

Don't understand that shot by Kam at all.

[GoldenEagles03]

Defense is so locked in.

When all else fails, that can keep you in and give you a shot to win a lot of games.

Love it.

[MUEng92]

Off topic except it’s based on a commercial that was just on, could a Saudi Arabian team really have offered Ronaldo a quarter billion dollars to play for them?

[MuggsyB]

I'd like to see Oso get touches offensively.  He doesn't need to rush jiat use his handles and footwork to get a quality shot. 

[MuggsyB]

Off topic except it’s based on a commercial that was just on, could a Saudi Arabian team really have offered Ronaldo a quarter billion dollars to play for them?

Yes.  You do realize the wealth of the House of Saud?

[MUEng92]

I’ll be the first to call out the refs tonight.  That was not a foul on Sean Jones, but given the ref, of course it was called

Love it.

But we play so hard on defense but we don’t really stop anyone. Remember?

Kenyan?
Walk-in’s?
