X-acto knife

Highly over-rated at this point.

With the recent struggles, smells a lot like the end of the 2018-19 season coming.

Are you really typing this out during the most intense moments of the game?

Yes.  Why do you ask?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

If Kam had an extra year of eligibility he might take it after his recent stretch. Laughing on the bench down double digits in an awful game. Terrible performances and handling of adversity of late.

Scoop after a loss.  We have seen dumber, and will again.

Always good craic.

You're almost too non chalant and casual after the most crushing losses.MU could lose by 95 and you're not even remotely fazed or concerned.  Every things always perfecly cool and copacetic no matter what. I'm jealous.. this loss is frustrating and concerning

[Vander Blue Man Group]

This is not a game where officiating should be mentioned.  We dug a huge hole and were putrid for the most part offensively.  Extremely upsetting.

Officiating can be mentioned without ignoring that we sucked.

Why?  15-3, 6-1.  Oops.

[MuggsyB]

I think Kam is overspinning in the paint.  I dunno if anyone else has noticed this.  But he has to find his shot again.  This is where I'm perplexed.  Could just be the strain of creating all of the offense.

I thought Stevie more often than not had an open 3 but instead forced a lot inside.

I liked the strategy to put Kam off ball for a bit but we could only do it for 2 possessions since we have no one else who can play the point and Ross turned it over. That's a huge flaw in the roster.

We lost to a team that shot 11% from 3.

Always spins left like crazy. Every defender knows it too

Shaka saying refs moving the inbound location with 7 seconds left messed up the play they called and practice often.

Teams have adjusted.  MU and Kam need to counter.

Did we not have a timeout?

I get that.  They looked ready when the ball was going to be inbounded on the baseline.  Less so when it was moved.  No time out available to fix it.

Stevie shoots and makes the three when he had the chance and it is moot.

No.

When does the extra year for COVID end? Xavier played 5 5th year and 2 6th years seniors. Only other player that saw game time was sophomore Swain.

1. Xavier was the aggressor. They were rewarded for their aggressiveness. Great hands on defense.  Did not fold when they could have.
2. The senior leadership needed to start sooner.
3. MU never quit.  Love that.  Too little, too late. 
4. Almost steals, almost great plays,  that MU didn't quite close the deal on.  A different game, a different result.
5. UConn and MU lose at home. Middle of the league stepped up.  Kudos.
6.  Mama said there'd be days like these.  Better the middle of January than the middle of March.

Agree with all this.

The officiating was fine. I prefer a more physical game since we are usually the aggressor. The one call the officials missed I thought was on Ben's rebound attempt late when he was discarded which game directly after Stevie was called for a similar one and X ended up with an And 1. That was a pretty big swing.

Freemantle was in my daughter's X class.  Even she says "I hope he's finally done."

Where Sean possibly could have made a difference.  Oh well.  All this will pay off at some point during Shaka's tenure.  And still might this year.  Keep being top ten.  Get good tournament results.  The right combination of players will eventually come and get MU to the promised land.

They've been playing with fire the last few games - today they got burned.

There's a definite slump lately. They need to break out of it.

Crushing? It's a January conference game. It happens every year. Some perspective would be nice.

And they did.
