Duh-Paul

[rocky_warrior]

True that Georgetown plays really bad D. But worse than DePaul? We could have scored 130 tonight if we wanted to.

I think including tonight's game...
GTown... #313 (kenpom), #291(torvik)
DePaul.... #309 (kenpom), #296 (torvik)

Torvik just updated to put GTown ahead, and kenpom claims to have counted 42 of 45 games today.  Both historically bad defensive teams.

Is that better than working at Arby's?

Per his LinkedIn account, he sells financial services for NY Life, so it worked out for him.

Sucks that we played DePaul tonight because I honestly believe we would have beaten anybody we played, especially at Fiserv. Shaka had them ready to atone for the game in Hartford, and the players came out extremely focused and determined.

Need Kam to pretend that Creighton and UConn are DePaul and Georgetown; he'll get some open looks against them, and we need him to bury a high percentage of them.

I love that Shaka let Oso play PG for a few minutes in the second half -- a little appetite-whetter for NBA scouts. He looked like Magic Johnson out there - or at least like Ben Simmons used to look. 15 points, 9 rebs, 7 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals. Such a good player.

Kolek got a few "easy" assists thanks to the hot shooting of Kam and others, but he also made some incredible, absolutely perfect, high-degree-of-difficulty passes. What vision, imagination and skill. NBA skill.

Ross looked great. I hope he's OK. He will be a very important player for us a month from now.

Easy triple double if he plays the whole game.

I do hope that Chase and Ben are fine going into this next stretch.

I didn't hear any explanation for why Stevie was wearing a shoulder brace. Anyone know?

[tower912]

He has had tape on that shoulder previously.

To brace his shoulder.

You heard it here first on Scoop!

I am just disappointed the crazy DePaul end of bench googles guy / cheerleader / walk-on is no longer on team

First time I saw him on the bench, I legit thought it was some honorary thing for a mentally challenged person.

Or just historically bad, a combined 1-29 in conference play, if any of the bubble teams in the conference lose to them they are probably out.

Depaul has lost its last 15 games by an average of 24 points.

That DePaul team was probably the worst P6 team I have ever seen. DePaul cut the lead to 18 at the under 4:00 timeout. Shaka put in the starters and went on a 16-4 run to end the half, and they looked completely demoralized and disinterested. I was laughing at how bad some of those turnovers were.

At some point during the game, I felt bad for the DePaul players.  They were probably very excited to play D1 basketball in a top flight conference at one point.

No one wants to go out there and get their asses kicked twice a week and look like fools.

I felt the same way.

This is the Kam we need for a long March run.

I emailed Scholl during the game and asked for a STH refund.  Pathetic effort.

We need to consider a European relegation system when you are this bad, give another team a shot

Did I miss something on Chase?  I saw Ben hobbling with a tweaked ankle.  What happened to Chase that we hope he's okay from?

Looked like he turned his ankle late in the game. The ref even stopped action for a bit. But he finished.

[Warrior Code]

Lots of tweaked ankles this year, it seems. As Mars Blackmon once asked, "is it the shoes?"

3.  I wonder if Kolek started the game with the intent of going off on assists or if it just flowed that way. 18.

I think this was done as a result of the success UConn had with the double teams.  He did not do much in terms of pick and roll with Oso.  Just worked on dissecting the with passing.  Hopefully this approach will pay off in the future.

MU took advantage of DePaul jogging back and ran more fast break offense than usual last night.   Also, MU has not run a back door lob for Ross before last night.

Last night my daughter asked -- in all sincerity -- "How are they still Division 1?" Apparently she thought that NCAA does have a relegation system.

Why is no one talking about how DePaul out rebounded us??????   /s

Me, too, and I thought about it in almost exactly those terms.
