X Game Thread

[Elonsmusk]

X is really physical.  Bigger/thicker at every position and in a game where refs are letting it go - doesn't bode well.  On another note, I feel our guys look kind of gassed - may be time to take the foot off the gas in practice for a couple of weeks.

Tre Norman SUCKS

Seriously. He cannot play. Just stop. Try a walk on if you're desperate for a guard.

No spirit, no push, no intensity, no heart, no clue

[MuggsyB]

Ugly, ugly, half from MU.  Kam's jumper concerns me.  He has to be able to trust it and play with confidence. 

[ATL MU Warrior]

That was awful.

[jesmu84]

Fucked around the last few days against worse teams.

Finding out today.

[willie warrior]

Time for a different game. This is an abomination.

[GB Warrior]

Well that sucked. Embarrassing offense

[PointWarrior]

Garbage half.  This team needs to really figure it out as have been struggling for many games now against bad teams.  This may be the tipping g point of a really bad slide the rest of the season the way they look in this half and the past few games.

An insight like a leprous wolf gnawing at your genitalia, Dung Willie

The wheels have come off. Hope they can reassemble during halftime but my gut says this is not one where MU will come back.

[Johnny B]

At what point does a slump become something else like a bizzare fall off or regression. Kam shooting under 20 percent from 3 the past 7 games is incomprehensible.

[warriors141]

Wow, might be the worst offensive half of the Shaka era? This team has just not been themselves for many games now, I thought Shaka would figure something out but it's just the same crap, looks like a wojo team right now

I'm at my first MU game since last year's Butler game.  I'm seriously starting to think it's me

We're allowing their physicality to dictate the game.  And we're not forcing turns.  Beyond that if Kam can't find his gane we have significant probs.  That was as bad as half of MU hoops as I have seen in quite some time. 

[MUeng]

I know we're 6-0, but against weak competition. No intensity or interest these last 2 games. Bummer. Will be an interesting couple of weeks here

[Zog from Margo]

Not mentally prepared today and the game plan was poor. Worst half in a while. Hopefully they adjust, but nothing to hang your hat on from the first half. No one played well. Some days you're the windshield....

[Afroman]

On a positive note, they can't play any worse.

[PGsHeroes32]

We get more embarrassing by the game

Joplin is 2/8 and 1/5 from 3 and he's likely our best player of the half(thanks to D and rebounding) and having people point to articles on the season to defend his horrible shot selection in this half.

That's how bad it is. His half is getting defended.

Didn't they get the weekend off before the DePaul game?

[The Thing]

I think Xavier is winning the deflections battle by a wide margin. I felt like they had 20+ in the first half

[DJO's Jaw]

Have you considered leaving for the good of the team? 

[MUEng92]

At least they aren't confounded by a zone today, so we have that going for us

Not like we are just randomly playing like crap, this has been brewing for games now and we just have been getting away with it

That was beyond brutal.  They're really no way to sugarcoat it.  No flow, no cohesion, no poise, a lot of boneheaded turns, and zero leadership on the floor right now.
