MU/DePaul Game Thread

[WarriorFan]

It's Depaul.  You call the TO to set up a play and run it because in the final four with 3.2 seconds left in the game down 1 you need a play you've run before.  Gotta coach 40 minutes, gotta play 40 minutes.

This team is going to hell in a handbasket. It's a collective funk. Shaka, you gotta do something to wake 'em up. First off, I'd sit Chase's ass for that bonehead play. Hard to see a good March coming.

[StillWarriors]

I'm expecting this team to come out and play with max intensity in 2nd half.  They cannot be happy with that half.  Doesn't mean we'll be able to make a shot, but the defensive intensity had better be the highest of the year.  If not, then this team is finished.

I don't know about the finished part, but absolutely on the intensity. St. John's can't shoot but they make it work by doing everything else.

There are going to be soooo many fouls called in the 2nd half since there were only 7 called in the 1st half

If we're so broken we can't rise to the occasion against DePaul, it's over.

Are you being serious here? Cause otherwise that's not a smart basketball thought.

Lots of blame to go around. This is a veteran team and the mistakes and it seems like lack of mental toughness makes you think it is a very young team.

I don't get the roster construction, it doesn't seem to match what Shaka wants to do with the absolute lack of 3 point shooting.

Definitely seems to be the first time here that shakas coaching can be a bit questioned, even if we win team has been playing like crap for over a month no way to sugarcoat it

[axaguy]

We look awful!! When are the coaches going to take charge and get tough. WE ARE NOT A THREE POINT SHOOTING TEAM.... 3-15 in first half...crap offensive action. Get back to twos, moving, cutting, getting in deeper for twos and fouls and offensive rebounds. Assists must come from others than Kam. Watch the tape of the Wisconsin game....another loss at home would call for dire measures....shake up big time...

[mileskishnish72]

For those watching on TV, isn't the MU fluff piece with the shaking of hands the lamest?

[DoctorV]

You've got to start to wonder if these guys just can't shoot.

You think to yourself that Kam and Jop have proven then can over 3 years, but nothing looks close.

It's gotta be mental but you start to wonder

Sorry, I went upstairs to get some whiskey so I missed it

[Zog from Margo]

A lot of it comes down to 3pt shooting. The offensive attack based on taking a ton of 3s isn't working because they don't shoot them well. 20% again in the first half. Something needs to give.

[ATL MU Warrior]

I'd DePaul missing some players for this game?

[Jay Bee]

#metoo except replace whiskey w/... never mind

#pray

[MUEng92]

They even do something to piss you off when they score

[MUEng92]

Ha, Chase fouled him 3 times on the floor and they call a shooting foul on Ben who was standing with his hands up

[Jay Bee]

Once Marquette gyros closed I knew this university was eff'd.

I have a weird feeling we may get close to covering. It's 38-36 now.

[KolekThrees]

Let's go Marquette! Our ball!

[MUEng92]

Jop, ugh

[MuggsyB]

Why is Stevie going to the bench after 3 mins?

[StillWarriors]

Their guard, Enright.

[Johnny B]

Why is Stevie going to the bench after 3 mins?

Happens a lot. Injury management?

[MUEng92]

It's crazy how Kam starts dribbling once on his FT's and he suddenly makes them

[MuggsyB]

I'm confused by Shaka's substitution patterns.
