MU/Nova Game Thread

[GoldenEagles03]

We are bad defensively.  I know a lot on here think it can get better but we are just bad.  The effort is there, but the execution isn't.

Open shots all day for the opponents.

Dixon tickling the twine from deep, hate to see it

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Why the hell are we drawing up shots for Joplin right now? Feed Kam.

[NolongerWarriors]

Nova's not great and their coach isn't very good.

But it doesn't take much to outcoach Shaka.

People bitched about Wojo's defense.  Shaka's is just as putrid.  Open shots galore.

[Fred Garvin]

Happy New Year turd

Tough end to the half, but we are hanging around. OMax is a pest on the offensive boards. Hopefully he can get a few in the second half.

[NolongerWarriors]

I still remember everyone heralding Joplin as some superstar in the making.

[wadesworld]

Need the defense to start traveling.

3-2 zone to protect oso. Mtm is much more effective

[Daniel]

If we hit a few more of our open looks we would be winning.   Can't go 2-3 minutes or more without scoring.    But still in the game

Racist aunt says what?

Jop may be one of the few disappointments on the season.

They can't do that either because no one has been tough enough to accept the challenge of Whitmore, just like Hopkins.

Oso zero points
Omax four points
Kolek two points

Not gonna do it with those points in second.  MU bailed out by Mitchell having career half and Kam, who is not bashful.  That last three attempt from almost half court not good.

Sean Jones and Joplin also below par big time.  Jones keeps driving and getting swatted and Joplin not hitting, yet.

With all that and rebounding defienecies, not a bad situation.

If Shaka recruited guys that could actually shoot?

Yep, MU would be winning.

[WolfganghisKhan]

Just so small.

[MuggsyB]

All things considered we're in reasonable shape.  I counted 7 pts they got off of offensive rebs. 

[GoldenEagles03]

Just so small.

Not really small at all. Just soft.

[Daniel]

Need to attack the basket in second half. 

[MUEng92]

I really have to learn to trust my "Ignore" settings. 

Don't press "Show me the post", don't press "Show me the post"

Sounds like a good New Year's resolution. 

[BLWarrior91]

Stevie!

[GoldenEagles03]

It is crazy how we just are so sloppy on the road.  Stevie wants it.  Not sure about anyone else right now.

[MUEng92]

Surprisingly dumb play by Kolek a while ago trying twice to stop in front of 22 dribbling up the court only to give him a perfect opportunity to pick his pocket

[NolongerWarriors]

More horrific defense from MU.

Wide open shot after wide open shot.
