Must watch one minute video attached.

Shrewsberry going nuclear on his players after brutal loss.  Don't know how players will react, but MU going to need a point guard next year, maybe that Burton would like to leave.

Really puts things into perspective.  Remember last year - MU loss at PC, then we go 16-2 in next 18 games. I know last years team is different, but we beat #1 over Thanksgiving and lost to #2 by 3. The team has it in them.

And screw Izzo, the only reason anyone is even discussing JMU at this time is because of their win over a crappity MSU team.

2014 Wichita also beat a lot more quality teams than James Madison could this season. Looking at the top KenPom games of each:

WICH:
#10 Tennessee
@#35 Saint Louis
vs.#49 BYU
@#82 Tulsa
@#86 Alabama
@#95 Northern Iowa

JMU:
@#23 Michigan State
@#79 App State
#79 App State
@#103 Kent State
vs.#106 SIU
@#151 UL-Lafayette

Even if JMU does go undefeated,  the schedule isn't remotely on the same level as Wichita States was

So he says no energy at practice? Who the heck is running practice if not the coaching staff, talk about a coach sh!t show.

Playing in Phoenix, Arizona State has 13 points at the half against Northwestern. And I thought MU had a bad night offensively last night.

I guess they'd only have had 10 against Chicago State!

[PointWarrior]

Radford beats WVU tonight.  Sure glad we did not play them this year.

[Daniel]

What a Big East night!  Down goes UCONN to Seton Hall, and Creighton to Villanova! 

[MuggsyB]

Pretty good game between Bama and Zona.  Although Bama at one point was 1-15 from distance. 

[MuggsyB]

Bama is 6-41 from downtown. 

Ballo is a load.....do we have a Malian Scout?

[MuggsyB]

Bama will probably wind up a 9-12 sees and they have top 10 talent. 

That's not a team the 1's or 2's will want to see in the 2nd rd.

Top 10 talent based on? They lost a TON.  2 first round picks, an experienced talented guard in Quinerly, a talented 5 year guy in Gurley, and then also the presumed next guys up in Burnett and Bradley.

They didn’t have any stud recruits (nobody in the top 50) and their best transfers were from ND State and Hofstra, and we know mid major transfer ups are always a crapshoot.

Are they better than their record? Probably.  Do they have top 10 talent and/or should be a top 5 seed if they didn’t underperform?  No I definitely don’t think so

The Fightin’ Mosers finally faced a real opponent.

Unbeaten no more.

I know you are day drinking at the pool bar, but I also know you are provincial, but can't we just be happy that Porter is also having success?  I mean the Sooners did beat Providence by 21. 

Porter is a great guy. What a difference in coaching candidates after Wojo.  Two Final Four coaches and an up and comer in Dennis Gates. Compare that to the Wojo hire candidates and process. Let's be happy for him and not write a Smith is better than Jones post every time he loses like you did for Texas Shaka.

While I agree with your sentiment, it is pretty clear MU82 is posting directly at nolongerwarriors, who has made it abundantly clear that he wanted Moser instead of Shaka, why he prefers Moser, and pointed out Moser's record this season.

I heartily apologize then as I use the ignore option liberally.

[tower912]

A wise choice.

No worries, Dr. B.

And you’re right about the day-drinking. L’Chaim!

Enjoy the trip!

Yale with a 1 point lead at halftime over Kansas.

Sad week in college hoops for those that were fans of 90’s ball.  First Eric Montross at 51 passing away from cancer, now Ryan Minor at 49.

Both gone way too soon.

Illinois making MU's win look even better.

[PGsHeroes32]

UCLA has not gotten better. They stink

They're bad.  That's why we can't forget how big that shot was by JTY.

Missouri hasn't beaten anyone.  They looked pretty good against Kansas but they're seemingly not a threat to do much in the B12
