Gamr over. MU falling to middle of BEast. Oh well, maybe next year.

Be lucky to be in the middle next year

They get bunnies, we heave 3's.

[NickelDimer]

He and Kam are the only 2 guys we have that can create their own offense. It's why having Sean was so important.

Feel like Chase could be the guy but isn't nearly assertive enough. Stevie should also handle the ball way more than Jop. Jop should only be involved in secondary and third action and mostly catch and shoot with occasional attack of closeouts

[ATL MU Warrior]

In much the same way Kalkbrenner is playing our worst shooter, we have to have whoever Ashworth is guarding drive relentlessly to the rim.  Every time down. 

[MuggsyB]

Why is ZL running to double there?

[GB Warrior]

Low IQ team. Smells like a one and done this March

[MUeng]

They peaked in Dec. Headed for the 8/9 match up in the tourney. Uh oh

[PGsHeroes32]

Sorry man I don't even blame him. This is on coaching and his teammates. He shares the ball willingly only for his teammates to give it back. I don't get our offensive identity

Him going in and shooting there twice wasn't the problem. Its the fact at 6;8 with a stiff bad defenders on him he cant make 2 bunnies that's the issue

Its his career. He simply isn't capable of effeciency

[Norm]

So glad Shaka didn't use a TO until 30 seconds to go in the half.

[Johnny B]

Just hard to watch loss after loss. Every game we talk about player xyz having an off game. Every game multiple guys struggle to do anything. I've lost all faith in this team

[MUEng92]

Some hustle at the end of the half

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Classic game thread so far. Well done.

[MuggsyB]

Huge play by Ben there!

[PGsHeroes32]

There is a near 0 chance they let that 3 be momentum going into half

But still nice to have that

[MarquetteFan94]

Got my head bitten off saying this team was 5 seed a couple weeks ago. We'll be lucky to get a 5.  We will absolutely lose at least 1-2 against the bottom half the rest of the way.

[Big Papi]

This team is struggling and it's not looking like we are breaking out of it any time soon and that includes coaching. Very disappointed in Shaka's coaching as well.

I don't like our offense right now. And defensively if we are not turning teams over we giving up too many easy baskets

[CountryRoads]

Good way to end the half. Can't win the game in the first half anyway. Were right in it but need to come out strong in first 4.

[BM1090]

I actually feel pretty good. UConn and SJU were making us uncomfortable. Creighton hasn't, we're just having lapses.

We're going to win this game.

MU 36% CR 56% Shooting.

Stevie and Chase can handle the ball, but neither can really create their own offense aside from driving to the hoop...which is easier to defend when they know it's all they have. Both take their 3s off passes only for the most part and the team doesn't take midrange shots so the defense knows to guard the line or the drive.

Low IQ team. Smells like a one and done this March

You should go away. Theses are our guys show some respect

[wyoMUfan]

Eventually they have to try something different, right? Any wrinkle of a different strategy... God I hope so...

[NickelDimer]

Him going in and shooting there twice wasn't the problem. Its the fact at 6;8 with a stiff bad defenders on him he cant make 2 bunnies that's the issue

Its his career. He simply isn't capable of effeciency

He's inefficient in the role he's being asked to play no doubt. The problem is in the role he's being asked to play imo

[MuggsyB]

We got 0.0 pts from our 5's in tbe 1H.  They have to give us something.  Obviously Chase was a non-factor with the foul trouble. In one stretch I think we were 1-10 from the field.  Creighton is also +7 at the FT line.  All things considered I am grateful to only be down 7.

[MuggsyB]

MU 36% CR 56% Shooting.

That's the story.  And I think we started 6-9.
