Shaka can't do that again

[MuggsyB]

There is no explanation I can think of as to why Caedin started the 2H.  I'm sorry but that's 100% on Shaka.  I'm not saying we win either way, but it's less comprehendable imo than Finnegan's Wake.  I hope Shaka is asked about this.

That was flat out coaching malpractice on his part. It almost seems like at this point he's just running him out there to try to prove everyone else wrong.

Caedin is awful af basketball. Will be very disheartened if he returns next season.

He can't do that.

Caedin could average 25 and 10 the rest of the year and it would still be coaching malpractice. Instead he will average 2 and 1 and get complimented for perseverance.

Scholl: "You need to replace Jake Presutti with a coach that has experience."
Wojo: "No."
Scholl: "You're fired."

Similar ultimatum needs to be made to Shaka if Caedin, Tre and Sean aren't shown the door 48 hours after the last game. This is unacceptable.

Caedin's defense...or even presence during that stretch was ridiculous.  Total ghost.  I could have been out there protecting the rim.

Dude, Sean is hardly the issue.

Gold was hurt, hardly played in second half, so it was Hamilton.  It is what it is roster wise.

MU played well at end with:

Parham
Ross
Owens
Stevens
James

Two freshmen, two sophomores but got killed on boards and MU took advantage of Depaul missing free throws.

[BCHoopster]

He supposedly took 10,000 hook shots this summer but I have not seen that shot in one game.  The game has changed, Shaka wants his players to drive to the hoop, but Caedin normally down there doing nothing.  Or he stands at the top of the key picking but never rolls.  When Shska watches the replay what does he see from Caedin. I see a weak center, no hands, does not jump, no offense, and no D, am I missing something?

I really question how much he likes playing basketball.  He seems to have zero competitive fire.

Gold went back in the game after that initial stretch and was on the floor late.  If CH is unplayable and Gold is hurt, go small.

I am beginning to think 18 has some blackmail on Shaka and that is why he is getting so much time on court.

Hutch,

This is seemingly a team issue.  I saw zero tenacity once we were punched in the 2H.  And yes, we showed several good things in the 1H offensively. 

[CountryRoads]

Divide that by ~100 days and that is a mere 100 a day? If he made 1 every 20 seconds that would take 30 minutes a day. What am I missing here with that? The videos they showed on social media were of him unguarded shooting by himself.

It's this or a betting scandal.

Yes, DePaul jumped on them after half and they had no punch back until the very end.  Just wilted.

Very true. Add to it that, he doesn't have a feel for the game. He doesn't look raw, he looks lost.

[Shooter McGavin]

JB,  way to stick with Owens. Played well tonight.  I've been waiting for that first drive and dunk he had tonight for the last year and a half.  Needs to be more aggressive in my opinion. 

[Mu8891]

Country - the fact that Shaka had Hamilton taking hook shots at all - as if THAT would make him a D1 player- tells you how stupid he is.

[nyg]

Gold went back in the game after that initial stretch and was on the floor late.  If CH is unplayable and Gold is hurt, go small. 

Gold played four minutes 16 to 12 minute mark, then 45 seconds from 3 minute mark.

MU went small after that with lineup I stated. If Hamilton is unplayable, then why is he on team and starting?  Because he is on the team and he is all Shaka has. On Shaka for taking project, but Hamilton is not going to sit on the bench with this roster, no matter how frustrated you are

It is what it is.

Other than his 22 footer that went 24 feet, he had a good night offensively.  But he was continually getting beat on drives to the paint.  Poor night defensively like the rest of the team.

Hey, he did make a hook shot last game.

Why was Gold playing the last couple of minutes if he was hurting?

Okay.  Why didn't he see if he could play from the 20-16 min mark?
