WIN when they TRUST

[tower912]

1.  It's DePaul, It's DePaul
2.  What a start.   Inevitable, after making a bunch of 3's and playing well nigh perfect, that the team would get 3 happy and sloppy.
3. Oso the point guard.  Cool new wrinkle.  Not as cool when Joplin tries to replicate.
4.  The defense was not stellar.  Particularly against 3s.  Again.
5.  Foul trouble.   Grrrrr.   DePaul sure had a lot of fouls to give at the end.
6.   Good thing Gold listens to Shaka and not scoopers.  He had a lot of run tonight and did well on both ends.  Stellar help defense.  Can still improve on the perimeter.
7.  DePaul worked hard for their new coach.
8.  Norman and Lowery had opportunities. 
9.  MU had a whole lot go wrong.   Some circumstantial.  More self inflicted.  But they didn't lose. 
10.  Revenge time on Saturday.

Another terrible loss

[CountryRoads]

Pretty uninspiring effort but a win is a win. Big one Saturday. Need chase back soon.

[PGsHeroes32]

Need Ross back soon.

Foul trouble was only what it was because we dont have him and SJ as first off bench.

DePaul actually only shot like 2 free throws in 2nd half. But 7 fouls hurts a lot more when we are so relient on the starters.

[BLWarrior91]

Nice to see the threes start to fall.  We just need Kam to break out of the slump.

11. An obvious (theoretical) night off, so no reason to play tough D.

[nyg]

Keeping winning, even if it's DePaul. 

Not enough Oso, should have taken 20 shots.  Those DePaul bigs were nailed to the floor guarding him.

Injuries, first game with major foul trouble, why can't Amadou play?  Can't be that bad. 

[Daniel]

Have to bring Defense every game.  It is a habit.   Defense and Kam were the on,y questions tonight.    Bench  - well Ben scored 9.   Tre and Xaide.... I zero.  Jop 20.  Nice.   

[Dish]

Hope the team makes it out of Chicago alive.

[BCHoopster]

Amadeau should have been redshirted, not even sure he has played in a Big East game yet. This is a wasted year for him, sure he can improve in practice everyday, but as A.I. said, "it's practice".  It's not like in 8 or 9 months he is going to improve that much. Gold and Parham are going to get majority of time next year, not even sure he is ahead of Hamilton since he is so skinny.  Will he transfer, it might be best that he does.

[PGsHeroes32]

This is not a long term career worry. But for this year especially until Ross is back. Im pretty worried about Norman.

Lowery looked closer to D2 than BE tonight. But hes had some excellent moments in the last couple games. Norman had a nice move to hoop vs nova. And seems like he might rebound decently for his size. But other than that he hasnt shown much of anything

Just not a factor on offense and fouls on D. Just dont have to guard him.

They didn't need Amadou - Oso was great and Ben very good. They needed another guard tonight as only TK and Stevie showed up.

[RushmoreAcademy]

I was impressed with how the new coach had DePaul pushing the ball. Let them be athletes and see what they can do. I'll be interested to see how their next few games look.

Mitchell has been very solid all season.  We desperately need Kam to find his game.

Didn't cover, Shaka is an idiot!

Chase has been underwhelming all season long.  Sean Jones was a bigger loss as far as impact.  Hopefully Chase can regain some of the form of his freshman year.  The big leap many were expecting to happen had not happened and his 26% 3pt shooting, and 46% eFG weren't adding too much.

[cheese ball chaser]

Yeah DePaul isn't good this year but we beat a BE team on the road by >10. Dub - on to the next one.

Chase is active defensively and good in transition.

PLus has an ability to attack the paint and draw fouls which Lowery and Norman cant really do...yet.

For the team as a whole Ross is really the only option to draw contact. His leap has not been there but hes definitely needed and a great 6th man.

What kind of stimulants are you on tonight pal

Ball knower exposes himself. You're watching only one side of the ball. Absolute menace defensively. Oso is the best defender on the team, but Sean and Stevie are elite disruptors.

[CountryRoads]

Freshman didn't do much to win trust tonight.

[Newsdreams]

Many, why? Shaka suxs

[Carl]

I know it sounds silly but covering the spread = outperforming metrics. It's not just the degenerate gamblers who care these days, so does the selection committee. It pays to cover!

He has always been an idiot, HS dunker says he, ha!

Already sold my Seton Hall ticket bc I'm expecting to be at a memorial service for our murdered cagers.
