I have to admit this is as upset as I have been with an MU performance since the NC State game.

Well, yeah.  There have been so few opportunities to be truly upset.

[wisblue]

Maybe but let's not forget our performance against Butler at Home last year.

I haven't, but I am looking at the uneven play in 6 of the 7 conference games, not just today.  This year's Butler game was no gem, and the last 3 have all been performances that would produce losses against better competition.

Anyone who is honest with himself would have to admit that if he watched some other team play the way MU has against teams that won't be anywhere near the NCAA tournament, he would say that team is overrated.

We'll find out soon enough when the schedule gets tougher if this has just been a rough patch or a sign of a team that is going to have problems.

Same just got such a weird ominous feeling from this one. I'll forget with two wins next week

maybe but if you want a chance at a 3 seed better be taking care of business the rest of January cause febuarary looking pretty daunting. Especially the way the team is playing.

You think thy will continue to play this poorly on offense the rest of the year?  You may be judging the team at their worst.

I could go to a Michelin 2 star restaurant within walking distance but they don't open for another 9 hrs.

The Fiserv is a beautiful arena.  Too bad I can never attend another MU game since they are 0-2 in the last two games I attended in person. Call me when the new arena is built, if I'm still alive and kicking

SAD!

That never happens on scoop. 

I expect to hear about internal team dissension in the next few days.

I've been so lucky.. the 2 or 3 games I go to a year have all been wins. Don't think I've attended a loss since woj

[Uncle Rico]

Oh, you and your facts and logic so soon after a loss.

I think I prefer the evil Rico.

That was after the near gag job at St. John's.  January swoon right on schedule

[connie]

I'd blame you, but the same issues were in our last 2 games.  They just couldn't come back from them today.

[Newsdreams]

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.

Hitting wrong washing cycle button, big mistake.

Win the next game and there will be a "will we run the table" post.

Never a middle ground.

There may be cause for concern when the people who think MU is a contender for a 1 seed are saying "there will be games like this" after almost every game.

At what point is it a case of the team flattening out due to lack of development from the bench players while teams that bring in transfers are gelling.

Anyone who has  watched MU's 7 conference games and thinks they have looked like a top 20 team has lost all objectivity.

Have you watched the other teams? Assuming not. Because Michigan just lost to Minnesota. Tennessee is about to lose their 2nd game in 3 to Vanderbilt. Auburn just beat Georgia, a team we beat, by 2 at home. UConn lost at home today to a team we beat. Houston got their first quad 1 win today.

The only conclusion i can draw is you don't have much frame of reference.

[BM1090]

you're right lol. Usually takes me an hour or so to forget it

You're good. Used to take me way longer than an hour before I realized I was torturing myself.

[forgetful]

Officiating was fine. They were letting them play.

I'm usually a critic of officiating. They were fine. Like you said, they let them play.

In the beginning of the game, that hurt us. We made our comeback though, because they let them play and allowed us to be aggressive.

Could easily have called a foul on the tie-up. But they consistently let them play. No complaints about officiating.

[MUfan12]

Only call I had a problem with was the one with maybe 3 mins left on Stevie when there was minimal contact on a rebound. X got an and 1 right after.

WVU up 25-24 over Iowa St. at the half btw.

Well said.

Gotta get a shot up at the end, would like to see Kam take control there, but I get it he's struggling a bit.

Have to say the play that summed it up for me is when the X player got the rebound whilst sitting on his ass and made a crazy good bounce pass into the lane where they scored. I shook my head and said maybe not our night.

This coupled with no call on Ben's rebound attempt. If you call one, call the other.  Don't call one, don't call the other.

[MUEng92]

Ben's looked dangerous from my angle

Had the same thought.
