MU/Johnnies Game Thread

[Elonsmusk]

St John's is the Number 1 defensive efficiency team in Ken Pom - didn't realize that until someone posted earlier they had Number 1 D..didn't realize it was in all of D-1, was thinking it was a reference to their BE defensive efficiency.

They definitely get their bodies into guys.

[MUEng92]

Stop turning it over and we're fine.

Theres no way STJs 7th foul actually came with 30 seconds left. If officiating balances out, it's a comfortable win.

I have no idea what will happen in the 2nd half but I do know fouls evening out won't be what happens

[GB Warrior]

In the second half Ben needs to decide he's not there to just screen and give dribble handoffs. Man he must be a maddening offensive player to coach at times.

Hes like that receiver you need to get a bubble screen early in the game.

[ATL MU Warrior]

Yeah, clean up the stupid turnovers and shoot decently and we got this.

They're setup for a rude awakening in the tourney imo

Ben needs to play basketball, jop needs to get out of his own head, ross needs to play like he's the most athletic guy on the court.
Kam and stevie.... keep doing you.


We win this.

[Zog from Margo]

He actually kinda has defense. unlike the rest of the bench.

But honestly we have no bench outside of Royce.

Lowery and Parham were about the same off the bench from what I saw. I think those two and Owens show a lot of promise. Parham will be very good. Norman is physical but it's not translating to effective play at this stage.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

At game. Officiating was pretty good for the first 12 minutes or so but then swallowed the whistle on us for awhile. There is no MU bump from other fans here. When SJ made their run their fans came alive. Very good MU presence here all things considered.

MU leading is sort of a godsend, don't know how.

5 for 16 from three. Lived first six minutes, died the rest.
Nine turnovers, four by Joplin
Gold and Ross sitting with fouls
Kam going cold
13 points in last 13 minutes

Shaka playing Norman, not Lowery or Owens up 7, was bad. Three fouls in three minutes, just ugh. Probably won't see him again.

Limit those stupid, stupid turnovers and hope the threes fall.  X game part II

It won't

Tough break for Kams stats currently

He's 6/12 and 3/7 from 3. But 2 of the 3 pts misses were the one we fouled on while shot is in the air(believe shouldnt count) and the 90 foot half time heave that was blatantly after the buzzer(def shouldn't count)

[NickelDimer]

It won't

Yep. Very much a win anyway situation. We're not going to get the same calls they do. Is what it is

Who cares about his stats?

Woof, Jop has 4 turnovers. No one else has more than 1

Someone remind Jop no dribble driving.

[MuggsyB]

Jop was great early minus the triple.  Perhaps he gets cooking in the 2H?  We need him and Chase to score. 

[PGsHeroes32]

We cannot lose the TO battle this half

[MuggsyB]

Face the hoop Ben.  Be a threat out there. 

[MUEng92]

Great D Ben

[MuggsyB]

Let's go now.

[MuggsyB]

Grab the ball!

[PGsHeroes32]

Alright, we cant have 0fer everything from deep Jop and travel city Jop.

That basket for SJU was very fortunate. Damn

[MUEng92]

Umm Gus, word that differently please

[MuggsyB]

Great take by Chase.  Just go right at them.  Jop needs to find his J.
