MU/XU Game Thread

[forgetful]

The missed 2-foot shot by Omax really hurts.

[BM1090]

Going to come up short but to be in this game while not playing our best is promising

[Elonsmusk]

Kam really has disappeared this 2nd half..Boum stepped up.

[We R Final Four]

A Shaka team flops in a another close game

You and your team invent the flop.

[NolongerWarriors]

We'll get em in MKE

Not if it's a close game.

Shaka is subpar (to put it mildly) in those situations.

[MuggsyB]

Two tremendous opportunities to win at Prov and at XU.  Extremely disappointed right now.

Spot-on.

[We R Final Four]

No longer can go beat off now

[Tyler COLEk]

NolongerWarriors finally able to waddle to the bathroom. It's his second bout of explosive diarrhea of the day.

[cheebs09]

We had our chances, but X was a little better. Our first shot defense was great I think, but couldn't complete the stop.

I wish we would have won, but I feel even better about MU finishing strong this year than before the game. This is a good team.

If Rocky wasn't a low key Shaka hater your ass should have been banned a long time ago.  Shaka miss the no footer O-Max took?  Any top 3 Big East team won on the road?  You're just a prick.  If you get joy out of going to a rivals message board and posting garbage...says a lot about your shitty life syndrome.

[NickelDimer]

Nolonger is a douche. Why some of you don't have him on ignore is beyond me. And in case you don't have me blocked Nolonger; you're a douche

It's not Shaka's fault when his team forgets how to make layups and throws up bricks.

100%. The fact that he's still on this board is a huge indictment on the mods here. Brutal

It's really tough to win when your opponent has all those o-rebs.  However, the sequence with Boum hitting the J and then OMax missing the chippie really sucked.

I seem to recall they are big projos so it makes sense.

[wisblue]

Lack of muscle is a fatal flaw in games like this. Need to find a 24 year old bruiser to compete with guys like Nunge.

Rocky was a massive Projo.  Pretty disappointing actually, that he lets a troll like Nolonger continue to post here while handing out bans to true fans who occasionally get sideways with each other.  But, it's his board so his business.

Wow, I wasn't paying any attention to that game but St. John's is blowing out UConn on the road.

Not Shaka's plan. He wouldn't trade an "Oso" for any big.....in fact he will try to get more players like Oso.

What has he done to warrant a banning?

Are you still under the impression that you were repeatedly banned because of your opinion on Wojo???

[MUBurrow]

Which would fine I think if you had two Osos.  But the other Oso (OMax) plays like a guard, so you end up with Oso playing the 5, banging against a guy who has 3 inches and 30 lbs on him all game.  When the first half has as many possessions as a Grinnell game, there's only so much he can do.  You'd need to be able to throw waves at them, but we had the look of a traditional team (trying to win the game from the 1 and the 5 without meaningful sub minutes at those positions) playing the Shaka system.

Still encouraged.  All things considered they looked great.

There should be a scoop rule - if X number of posters but you on ignore, you should be banned from posting.  +1000 on nolonger is a douche.

the poster said we need a big body in the big east (as in next year)......Shaka will go after an Oso type before he goes after a big body(in the future).
OMax is neither a big body or an Oso type.

He's a bigger body than Oso.
