Completely Outplayed

[MuggsyB]

Give the rodents credit but what bothers me is we clearly weren't ready to play today.  Other than that run to begin the 2H we quite frankly were awful and not ourselves. Our two best players in particular did not play with the proper tenacity or focus.  I'll just leave it at that. Perhaps this will be a good wake-up call moving forward but I thought it was an extremely disappointing performance with everything on the line.  Gotta bounce back on Wednesday.

We played a strong opponent. Have to raise our game to play against quality teams on the road.

It's hard to win on the road. Impossible when you foul a ton and give up rebounds on half their misses. It takes a big shooting effort to make that up and they didn't have it.

UW shoved us in a locker today and it sucks.

Like Raf said, there was a delay on the freeway. I'm sure they are embarrassed and will respond accordingly. This one hurts a bit, I'll be honest. Joplin should never start.

Tyler needed to be more assertive to start the game.

[MuMark]

Difference between good teams in CBB is so small.......you don't play well you are going to lose....especially on the road.

Defensive rebounding continues to be an Achilles heel of Shaka's MU teams.

Lack of consistent production from Jop/Ross continues to be a concern.

[MurphysTillClose]

This team won't make it pay the second round. Unfortunate.

Yep. Hate to say it, but before we climbed back into the game he looked disinterested. He has to lead, always

[statnik]

Can't show up for just 5 mins of game time and expect to win.

[Markusquette]

Not enough offensive firepower if Kam and Kolek aren't scoring, or the only 2 players scoring. Very bad game from Oso which is surprising the way he played vs Maui bigs. MU is good, but not as good as we thought/hoped.

Definitely Tyko and Oso have to lead and neither did this morning.

Nope, they did not

Didn't understand that at all - this is the kind of game Tyler normally thrives in.

[Johnny B]

That was pathetic.. you expect more from a veteran team. there's off games but that was AWFUL basketball for 34 minutes of the game. Casually owned by the badgers yet again. Wtf just don't get it sometimes

The entire game.  Very passive today.

Odd performance from TKO tonight. Wisconsin was excellent defending the paint, but he passed on several open threes he should be launching without hesitation.

[rgoode57]

MU was outplayed in every single phase of the game. Wisconsin earned the win and I congratulate them on a really good performance. Hope they win the BIG. What concerns me most about the game is that there was not a single MU player who played really well. Wisconsin completely disrupted the offense, and I did not see the intensity I expected from our guys. But, winning in the road against a good team is a tall order. I have a feeling the Texas game will be a turn-around for them.

[JakeBarnes]

They didn't get off the bus. Leaders not leading. No one being a leader in their role---just trying to be something else.

I can't disagree.  And what exactly was our game plan out there?  We looked catatonic and unassertive for major stetches.  The lack of energy was quite troubling and inexplicable.  If you're Oso Ighadoro for example, a top big in the country, you can't not show up essentially vs Steven Crowl.  I simply don't understand.

Outplayed and outcoached. Use your timeouts to settle your team and get easy baskets. Maybe don't pull Kam and Stevie when they are the lynchpin for your O and D. Gold, Ross and Joplin were terrible today. Kolek and Oso were not much better. Coaching may have been the worst of all. I love this team and Shaka but this should be a gut check moment for everyone. Poor energy outside of 90 seconds to start the second half.


Very frustrating but the reality is that Gard has outcoached Shaka 3 years in a row. That needs to change a.s.a.p.

[tower912]

It can't change for a year.

[Mu8891]

Justin ....

Exactly.  Team played like $hit.  That's on Shaka /— again v UW.
