MU/CMU Game Thread

This game should be over by the 1st half.  Get Royce involved early.  Let's also see what we have in Damarius and Phillips.

Quite the pregame show for this matchup.

I fully expect MU to win handily to suck me back in thinking, "well maybe they just had a rough stretch and they aren't as bad as they have appeared"

The Chippewas are awful.  End the game quickly and try some new strategies. 

[MuggsyB]

Chase should have kicked that despite getting fouled.  Move the freaking basketball. 

[MuggsyB]

I don't get Ben doubling in the half-court.  Totally ineffective, puts us out of position.

Assuming there are any viewers of this game that aren't MU or Central Michigan fans, how many of them think this is an intrastate matchup?

Probably 1/2 to 2/3.

Shocker:  Gold playing off of one foot in the paint. 

[MuggsyB]

Maybe that wakes RP up.

"Looked like Giannis" is not a comment I thought announcers would say about Parham.

[MUEng92]

Great play by Royce, but no one will mistake him for Giannis

Zero defense

[MuggsyB]

Not pressuring which I get but the defense just isn't there.

Zero defense

Eh. The shotmaking for CMU has been really good so far

[Johnny B]

Every "buy" game has been a battle in the first half ugh

They'll cool down but we're still not stopping their actions. 

[MuggsyB]

Inexcusable transition defense there.

[MuggsyB]

Where's tbe tenacity????  Guys jogging down the floor in transition.   

[MuggsyB]

We refuse to slow down and play off of two feet when we are at point blank range.  Absolutely drives me nuts. Why doesn't Shaka address this?

[MuggsyB]

With all due respect to Brian Anderson, Sean will help us, but it doesn't change our problems right now. 

[1SE]

Awesome start- Shaka lit a fire.

[BM1090]

Awesome start- Shaka lit a fire.

Pretty clear the defense is trying some new things. They are learning on the fly. Offense looks better but that could just be opponent related.

[PointWarrior]

what defense? CMU scoring every possession
