MU -Johnnie Game Thread

[frozena pizza]

Kam chucking up multiple shots that scrape the rafters and miss by 3 feet.  Embarrassing.  Also seems to be zero interest in boxing out.  Hope Shaka has a plan.

[mugrad_89]

At least Kam isn't giving any effort on defense to go with his miserable offense.

He literally stood there on a miss while a St John player came in for the rebound.

Ben shoots it fu cking wide of the rim haha

This is insane.

Saving grace is we are playing D.

Now ben swatted for a easy bucket.

OMFG ...

2/18 ..

Multiple Air Balls.  Getting shots blocked...

[MuggsyB]

Big shot from Jop.  Get a stop here. 

[Mu8891]

Embarrassing

Part of playing defense is finishing the possession with a rebound.  Shaka needs to adjust his defensive principals to do that going forward.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Rebounding is terrible. No boxing out. OMax has butter on the bottom of his shoes every time I see him he's on the ground

It's still early.  We're a 2nd half team.  This game doesn't matter anyway.   A full week of rest is more important that this game.  Losing is good for us, forged in fire.

[CountryRoads]

Need a strong start to the 2H.

Gotta be a team effort on the boards.

I get that but defense wasn't the problem in the 1H.

I disagree with the latter half of what you said. Don't accept losing and it helps for confidence to keep things going. I don't want the guys to go into the NCAAs fresh off a bad loss to St. John's.

[Judge Smails]

We will win this game

[21Jumpstreet]

One team is gritty the other is soft right now. It's purely effort

Probably a quarter of the time if we followed our shot and there's a miss we can get the rebound.  But we watch and wait instead.   Bizarre

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Lol I told you so. MU won't get out of the first weekend in the NCAA. And thank Kolek for this debacle.

You're clearly a troll and a Badger fan.

How is it that MU craps the bed in
EVERY BET ... no matter the coach, the seed, or the opponent??

[nyg]

Shaka going to have to make major offensive adjustments to get back in this game.

4 for 19 from three and like 3 airballs.  9 turnovers.

Hopefully more driving to basket and stop the three point barrage.  We will see what the BECOY can draw up. 

[mugrad_89]

Did the team have a shoot-around Tuesday or Wednesday?  Judging by how bad the misses have been, it sure doesn't look like it.

[Norm]

Terrible first half. Can only get better in the 2nd half (I hope).

[Skatastrophy]

Second half we need to keep chucking 3s. Focus on chucking.

March meltdown?

You're responding to a dipsh*t troll, FYI.
