MU/Hall Game Thread

Perfect ending that Chase got burned deep.

Will not miss Ross next year, but there is a player to step up to take his place? Not sure Owen is the one? Thoughts?

[NickelDimer]

Chase Ross was pretty bad today. He misses the box out. Gets burned trying to double. Forced a number of bad shots. Continues his poor position defense.

It sucks to say but he just doesn't play like a winning basketball player

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Proud of this young team

I think Stevens is a major keeper.  And will be solid with an expanded role.  I also believe DO and MP will play important roles next year.  But we need a quality big.

[Zog from Margo]

Chase beat again. Very poor game. His position D and awareness of opponent location has always been bad, but it's getting worse. He really cannot create his own shot on offense. 

MU is playing better but they didn't play well today. Sloppy with the ball. Panic. Poor defense in the second half. Lots of bad decisions.

Owens was pretty invisible again today.

Stevens, James, and Parham are the reliable building blocks. Beyond that, just questions.

Should have played Owen's instead of Ross at crunch time. At least he played decent defense on Clark and tries to rebound

? Season high to's

Anyone who is decent can pass him up. Come on.. the guy hasn't been good

Yay! I did crack a heady topper, but didn't bet on Seton Hall.  This is my fault.

[Aircraftcarrier]

Need someone to rebound and  protect the rim. Ben had 2 rebounds.

[GB Warrior]

Well they are tolerable and sometimes fun to watch again. So this is progress

[WarriorHal]

Not game related, but what is Sean Jones status? I've lost track of his injuries ... what's wrong now? Is he supposed to come back at some point this season?

Foot injury

[Markusquette]

SJ is a goner I think. Kind of forget he's even on the team at this point

[BCHoopster]

Norman did not make a mistake for a change because he did not play! Shaka telling him good bye?

Holy smokes.  That's astounding.  Ty.

Saw very little improvement. Still lost a game we should have and could have won.

The situational awareness on the court down the stretch was nonexistent. The guys didn't seem to trust each other, they committed way too many turnovers when they did and when we needed to try a 3, Chase drives for the basket and is stuffed.

If there is a consolation in this, there won't be a winning streak that makes the powers that be give RGV a second chance,

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Frustrating game by why are people ignoring that SH is 12th in the country in defensive efficiency and was playing for their tournament lives at home?

Their defense had a lot to do with some of the sloppiness.

I'm with you brother dgies.  The ball was moving well at various points in the 1H.  Down the stretch that was abandoned.  Nigel is most effective when he adds an assortment of dimes to his buckets and takes care of the rock.

Totally agree VBMG. Nigel was especially sloppy today which is to be expected on the road, but Seton Hall is by far the best defense in this league and had everything to play for. I'm encouraged that Royce had tough finishes (some butterfingers to boot), Nigel was still able to get to his spots, and Adrien was 3-3 from deep. Frustrating to lose in that fashion, especially since we just let SH run 40 seconds off the clock leaving us no room for error. Absolutely hate that coaching decision, extend the game as long as you can and force SH to make front ends.

But a bubble team at home was fortunate to hang on against a 6-man team comprised mainly of underclassmen. That's a far cry from where we were in December, but the next step is us closing out these road games with a win. I'm optimistic we get one soon.

"Take" Ross place thought Chase might already  be on the "take" lol

[MarquetteMike1977]

Marquette came into the game 11th in 3 percentage and Seton Hall the 10th in 3% shooting. Feel we should have made Seton Hall shoot more 3s. Instead Seton Hall outscored Marquette 42-26 in the paint. But after watching a few of Shaka's practices that is how he coaches.
