We could’ve won this tournament

[junglecat022]

Which MU did.

Not against MSU.

The spartan's guards did score at the rim and in the midrange against us though.

[wadesworld]

Which MU did.

If we did we would've been higher than 317th in the country in free throw rate. But facts.

The season overall was great.
The nccas sucked. Very disappointing. Bad time for such a poor performance. Don't understand how anyone can have a different take. Sucks even more when 3 teams we beat twice went further. I'll trade UConn's season for ours any day. U think Shaka would trade. A guy with all this criticism for post season performance wouldn't take an elete 8 on the resume over a big East title lol??

I agree MU could finish better through contact and even seek it out around the rim.   MU's offense was innovative and was among the best in the country in 2 pt percentage.

Shaka's got a Final Four under his belt.

I agree with avoiding midrange shots but I think Oso is the one guy where developing a consistent 10-15 footer could open things up more for him.

Maybe....but not in this offense so Im unsure where or when that would happen.

[Johnny B]

Yeah forever ago. Lost 8 of 9 tournament games with one win against a garbage Vermont. I love the guy just saying he'd take the elite 8 loss over what we had now

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Maybe....but not in this offense so Im unsure where or when that would happen.

There were plenty of times he was open from 10-15 feet and teams sagged and cut off his passing and driving lanes. I'm not saying it will be a shot we sent to take but if he shows he can make it that's going to open up the drive and the pass even more. He also needs to expand his range for his professional future.

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  This is a serious ass kicking.

The threat of a 3 from Oso would help his pro career as opposed to a wide open 15' jumper.
However, im concerned with his pro career ONLY as it impacts MU.
I hope he has such an unbelievable season next year that every scout wants him. Everyone wins.

Is UConn playing better than they ever did in Big East play? Someone say yes.

[MuggsyB]

Is UConn playing better than they ever did in Big East play? Someone say yes.

They're really tough if they're hitting threes.  Still no one shouod gloss over the fact we took 2/3.

[PointWarrior]

Is this the largest blowout in elite 8 history?

Zags without Timme having a good game look like Wisconsin.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Ive heard more talk on here that we need players to develop a midrange game.....what?
MU and their fantastic offense doesn't value the mid range jumper. At all.
Now scoopers have that at the top of their wish list? I don't think they watched the same team as I did.

Sweater vests have been banging this drum all year.

[Mu8891]

UCONN is playing better than any team in the tournament

This is an absolute BEAT DOWN. 

They are going to win it all

[PointWarrior]

Can we hang a banner for beating the national champs twice?

Can we hang a banner for beating the national champs twice?

Muggsy will do the unveiling.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Other than Kolek, no one on the roster is great at breaking his guy off the dribble and finishing strong at the rim. I don't think it's necessarily a long term detriment, but it is nice to have a guy or two on the floor who can do that.

Kam would like a word.

Is this the largest blowout in elite 8 history?

It wasn't called the Elite 8 back then, but in 1965 Princeton (as an underdog) defeated Providence 109-69 with Bill Bradley leading the way to advance to the Final Four.

[MuggsyB]

Muggsy will do the unveiling.

Or he won't. 

[PointWarrior]

Thanks!

Marquette season or Gonzaga season - which one you picking?

Marquette season or Gonzaga season - which one you picking?

MU by a wide margin.

[MU82]

I mean, like MU, Gonzaga won its conference regular-season and tournament titles. Unlike MU, Gonzaga reached the Elite 8.
