Dumb foul, Oso

[FairWeatherEagle]

See that update....everyone losing in top 5-6.  They're coming back to us. Need to win win win!

[mileskishnish72]

Another Oso foul way away from the basket.

[MarquetteVol]

I'm an optimist. I feel like this stretch and some adversity will be beneficial later in the season. Absolutely need to see Norman, Lowery and Amadou get some spot minutes in January.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Zaide needs to be playing 20-25 minutes for this team.  Best athlete we've got and his presence will be felt if he gets to run for awhile.

Come on, man.

[PGsHeroes32]

This team just does not have that extra gear right now

Its completely gone.

[Mu8891]

72 ...

Right.  This team is off .... Badly

And it starts w / Kolek.  He is AWFUL
Can't make a shot.  Slow.  Seems frustrated....

[MuggsyB]

Should be up about 25.

[warriors141]

well we are winning.......yet the same frustrations with this team still appear to be very present

kolek is a shadow of what he was last year and beginning of this year........right now he's just a guy out there

Meh.. if they shot a mediocre level from 3 in that half games over right now

[forgetful]

This is one heck of a team shooting slump. Especially in 1st halves.

And Kolek just doesn't look like himself lately. Seriously wondering if he has been battling/playing through an illness. He looks like a guy that is or has recently been sick.

[PGsHeroes32]

Kolek looks horrendous right now and Saturday but its a little blown outta proportion

He was awesome prior to that.

Its been a brutal 1.5 games though

I couldn't believe how dominant he looked in the Illinois game. Scoring ability has just fallen off

He's had a brutal stretch.  It's very hard to comprehend what exactly is going on.

Kam's doing his part, just need Tyler to wake up.

[nyg]

Keep pounding paint. These guys cant stop it

Tell Shaka that. 
Scoring at Will with drives and back doors, yet they keep on jacking threes. 1 for 12 now and Gold has hesitated on two open ones. Guess scared to hoist another up. But Shaka don't mind them shooting threes, even with team slumping there

All with Davis, their best player on bench and bunch of Butler turnovers.  Needed to take advantage of that.

Oh well, should be huge, huge lead, but second half no problem. 

[Elonsmusk]

Whose minutes he taking?

He'd be my first sub for any of Kam, Stevie, or Jop.  The guy just plays with a suddenness and burst that none of our guys have, and he's got more length than any of them other Oso.

[MattyWarrior]

Everybody knows our game,change it up 1of12 from 3 is awful ,play some of the young guys

[CountryRoads]

Should be up about 25.

Butler played horrible.

[Milkshakes]

This team feels so different.  Earlier in the season even in a loss I thought they were so fun to watch.  Tonight even up they look slow and not at all dynamic and not that fun to watch. TK does seems to be at the core of it but the whole team seems to be kinda just going through the motions. 

[goldeneagle91114]

8% from beyond the arc. At this point it's become completely mental for the entire team. They're all over thinking it. Bring in a hypnotist. TRY ANYTHING.

[wisblue]

Hopefully, Matta doesn't figure out that all he has to do is pack in his defense around the basket and watch Marquette clank three points shots.

[Mu8891]

Kolek ... looks sick , or like something else is on his mind .... Or he's not happy with a teammate ... something, cuz

Wow.  They look like this is a road game.

[MuggsyB]

To me it looks like TyKo is pressing for some reason.

Oso and Mitchell are the only ones with consistent energy.
