Something most fans have been worried about is how MU is going to handle large post players.   We now know.  Aggressive double teams.  In the second half, without the evil Chucky doll with the big daggers, MU's rotation improved.  A couple of camera shots showed really great weak side rotation with the double.   
Wiscy made 3's and did something really out of character by attacking the offensive boards.

The only thing to do now is learn and improve.

I was wondering about the doubles as well. Shaka said in the post game that statistically it makes more sense to throw doubles at big guys (don’t quote me on that). He added he thought the rotations were better in the 2nd half. If crowl is going to score 30 on turn around hooks, would have been fine by me.

I thought the doubles were great against Edey. I thought they were bad tonight (at least in the first half) because they all came at the exact same time (first dribble) from the exact same spot (strong side wing). It’s not hard to beat a defense when you know exactly what, when, and where the scheme is coming from.

You started a wedding thread on here and what you are doing spending your Saturday night being negative on scoop. I would hope you have better things to be doing.

She’s at work. I’m certainly not making any wedding plans without her. Just watching some college football. Thank you for the concern though.

I hope you are folding the laundry while watching.  Did the judge get to the game?

Darks were done Thursday! She asked me to wait to do the lights until tomorrow.

I believe the judge was at the game today. Guessing he wasn’t thrilled!

Based on your track record, that's FINALLY a good bet!

MU by 10+ today

I think we score 80+. Pressure D will create opportunities

I do 99% of the laundry in my house.    I don't get the negativity, either.

One of the chores I actually don’t mind at all. Very, very easy chore and wins you some points. Plus, she’s got about 20x the clothes I do, so she can last much longer without the laundry getting done. And she works much harder/longer hours than me, so something easy for me to give a little back. What can I say, I outkicked my coverage. Thank god she wanted those governmental benefits we get by being married!

3. I'm sure he is a good guy.  But he gets a little too obsessed with people here at times and it makes him look a little petty.

Obsessed? Petty?

Sweet, sweet irony.

I’m folding my grandkids laundry right now.  Tiny stuff is hard to fold.  And don’t get me started on these swaddling thingies.

For the record, I like wades. If you think I make a habit of ever questioning anyones personal life you are factually incorrect.

Perhaps a few posts ago is an outlier. Be better!

Sir

I have folded more laundry in the last month than my entire life. Actually, I have enjoyed helping and will continue helping out in the future.

I have to say, being a grandpa is the greatest thing in the world. My granddaughter sent me a video after the game saying “go Bucky” and I watched it twenty times.
