Chip a wa-y to win

Need to ditch havoc.  Gives way more than it takes.  Start playing solid defense rather than chasing steals.

Bingo!

Havoc works with an element of surprise.
However, with a plan just look for the open man, or two.  Do the math, ditch the havoc defense.

If he does shut it down during a game, he should do it when we are getting our ass kicked by a mediocre team so that all of us doomsayers will get even more pissed than the teams meltdown because we can't take our frustrations out on the board. That would be great during the holidays. Rocky,have at it. Suspect there will be plenty of opportunities.

You're perpetually pissed all the time anyway, so whether the site is up or not-in your case-is totally irrelevant.

His wife has kept him down for so long that he's just turned bitter. Sitting in his basement, with his Warrior pennant and his cooler full of Busch Lite, he can't help get mad that players now have their names on their jerseys and "wierd" hairstyles.

Just finished watching. The final score didn't do justice to how close that was. Defense was abysmal. Didn't force turnovers, allowed too many second chances, open threes, and good lord the driving lanes were wide effing open.

On offense, Chase is embracing the Kam role. He was the difference between a win and am embarrassing loss. Just played sloppy. And how on earth are we seven games in and back to trying to figure out rotations? Just uninspiring all around.

Do you mean that the schools should actually employ the team members, allow them to unionize, and sign them to guaranteed contracts of various lengths?

Sure. But that's not what they want.

No, I was thinking more like Doctors, Dentists, Architects, Engineers.  They are professionals.

I said this earlier, but CMU had a couple wide open threes, in the hands of their shooters, that if they would have hit could have changed this result. Thank goodness they missed.

The bolded are the same words (except that I said embarrassing win) I used when my wife returned home from a day in Charlottesville and asked me how the game went.

The infamous 17 seconds capping a poorly played game almost extinguished all hopes I had that this team could turn things around. Yesterday's game finished me off. I am hoping to have to eat those words later in the season but seriously doubt that I will need to.

Not anymore

Here's an inspiring thought for those who like to support the underdog:
It's possible that every team remaining on the schedule (except Valpo) is better than MU. 

So, let's go support the underdog!

We have now become the trap game.

Ok, and if Gold knocks down a few of the many open 3's he had, we win much more comfortably and put them away earlier.  You can apply this argument to most basketball games at any level for the team that lost.

There were good moments yesterday.  Much to clean up, like again playing way too fast on offense, leading to bad shots. That and overall, frustrating how many poor shooting games from 3 our guys have, and has become the norm under Shaka.  Tough to win in this day when you're shooting in the 20's or low 30's from 3. 

This board consensus was too high and overrated the team last season when there were obvious problems and we were just escaping with wins from December on.  Now, it's barely three weeks into the season and a young team is trash and full of wasted scholarships.

I agree with your first two paragraphs.

But I think it's pretty plain to see that the sophomore and junior classes are a problem.

That may well be the case.  But I think it's reasonable to give them more than three weeks to get comfortable in their new roles and find themselves.  There's a ton of season left.
