MU/UCONN Game Thread

[Markusquette]

Credit to Gold for not folding like Ross. James is fun to watch

[MuggsyB]

Interesting line-up. 

[MuggsyB]

That was a goal tend.

[Boozemon Barro]

Our team is content with taking good shots. Zero desire or ability to actually make them.

[BM1090]

That was a goal tend.

definitely.

[BM1090]

The intensity and execution have been a lot better the last two games. They look low on confidence, but they've definitely played better. Gotta make some shots.

[SERocks]

Keep James Jr and dump the rest.

[Zog from Margo]

Well, I don't think the issue is Xs and Os. We're getting good enough shots to be winning this game. Just like pretty much every game. Need better players. Need better development.

Ben is fighting his ass off out there. Wish he could see a few go down.

Isn't part of the Xs and Os to consider the talent you have? Based on stats genre, MU runs a reasonable offense. Based on the players it has and the fact that they can't shoot 3s, it doesn't. It's like thinking it's a good offense to have Faisal or Dwight Burke taking 30 3s a game. Shaka failed to recruit to the system he runs.

I do agree that Gold is playing very hard on D and the D glass.

Nigel block was cool. Just pathetic attempt by Ben to clank that three seconds after that. Need to knock that one down for your guy.

[Norm]

Keep James Jr and dump the rest.

Keep Stevens too.

Yes, but we don't have an offense.  Guys are just standing around.  We have zero cohesion and I don't really get it.

He's clearly lost confidence.  Ben has missed 5 wide open threes.

Fanta is annoying when your team sucks.

[MuggsyB]

I think we got a break there. 

[MuggsyB]

Josh!!!

[BM1090]

Clark isn't good but I'm good with him getting all of Caedin's minutes. Rotate him and Ben at the 5.

[MuggsyB]

Fanta is annoying when your team sucks.

I liked Fanta as a BEast advocate and analyst.  I don't think play by play is his wheelhouse. 

[MuggsyB]

Joshua!!!

[mileskishnish72]

Gotta hand it to 'em, they're hanging in.

[MuggsyB]

Clark has done more the last 2 mins than Caedin has all season. 

[MuggsyB]

That's not a foul on Ross.  Fking garbage call. 

[MuggsyB]

Man....Royce has to finish there.

[MuggsyB]

Shooting 32% amd only down 8. 

[Viper]

Gotta hand it to 'em, they're hanging in.

amazing, actually! 32% fg. 18% from 3. 56% FT. Still have a chance.

[Norm]

Terrible coaching by Shaka in the last minute and a half. Why call time out after we stole the ball and are heading down with momentum? Then take Clark out after he's scored two baskets in a row and has grabbed some rebounds? The set play he calls backfires as usual.
