MU @ Xavier game thread

[Daniel]

With the way we are playing and it tied ..... amazing actually.    We will be better from this point forward.     

[MUEng92]

Wow, I couldn't do a standing broad jump as far as Kam just jumped AND made a reverse layup

[Viper]

Hi, I'm Ben Gold. Feel free to score on me.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

To become a lead guard with Kam???

No.

To be better than now? Hopefully.

But you think Jop is gonna randomly lesrn how to be consistent as a senior?

I think with an off-season of work and defined roles we'll be fine.

[CountryRoads]

Foot on the line on that inbound. Should be MU ball.

[BM1090]

Hi, I'm Ben Gold. Feel free to score on me.

He's contested pretty well.

I'm not seeing what you all are seeing. We can't buy one from outside and X is hitting some tough shots.

I don't think we are playing badly at all. We're rebounding offensively. Not turning it over. Forcing turnovers. Just haven't finished.

[WolfganghisKhan]

Did Tre steal Chases powers?

[GoldenEagles03]

I'd sit Chase for a bit and let him watch Zaide and Tre play over him.

That should make him wake up a bit. They need him.

[MUEng92]

Man, Chase is in a fog the last 3 games

[nyg]

Kam needs to do a Markus Howard 50 today. He's the only guy showing life on O.

Oso good, but Ross, Joplin and Gold have zero combined. Just hoping not for a 5 for 31 from three game like Butler. 

Turnovers and three point shooting is ugh.   Get them in foul trouble, no bench.  Oliveri already with two, take advantage, but turnovers. 

[PGsHeroes32]

I think with an off-season of work and defined roles we'll be fine.

I should also be clear in my tone, as is we are still a should be tourney team(no bubble sweat).

But my thoughts for next year is need another guard to be legit top 25 type.

I don't think we will suck.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Typical cold first half. We'll adjust

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Chase had Oso for the lob - just threw a bad pass.

[GoldenEagles03]

If Joplin can get 10 3s attempted today as open as the 1st 3, I'd take it.

Gotta keep firing. Great looks. Just stick em.

Correct in all but we need to hit shots.    Shooting 20% on 3s.    Ugh!

[bradforster]

Ross is clearly a liability offensively right now.  If he simply throws the ball rim high on the pass to Oso it's an easy dunk.  That ball was at least two feet too low.

[Viper]

I think with an off-season of work and defined roles we'll be fine.

Hope so. Would like to buy a house on Top 10 Avenue and stay a while

That's fair. I'm probably a bit more optimistic.

[MUEng92]

I would prefer Kam be a little more selfish today

[1SE]

Yah, gonna need Jop and Ross to ve something other than 0-fer to win

[cheebs09]

Man, Chase is in a fog the last 3 games

He had the flu for two games. I'm not convinced he's totally back from it.

[WolfganghisKhan]

Jop and Chase scare me when they drive

[PGsHeroes32]

That's fair. I'm probably a bit more optimistic.

I am definitely optimistic on Tre.

Off season has to be jump shot focused. But the game is there.

I'd just prefer he's not lead guard when it appears we kinda know what he will be surrounded by next year.

I'm Very confident that upperclassmen Norman is a great college player

[MUEng92]

Is this where we get apoplectic about Miller being 5 feet onto the court during play?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

I am definitely optimistic on Tre.

I'm just not sure Shaka brings in a clear starter at PG. We'll see.
