MU/Nova Game Thread

[Markusquette]

At least we're consistent

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Lost because of guard play tonight
Kudos to Parham and Stevens

[ATL MU Warrior]

Our last plays of the game are problematic

[21Jumpstreet]

Had we gotten a shot off, I'd be content with this effort. Since we didn't AGAIN, I just can't

[Judge Smails]

Our inability to get a good look at the end of games is very frustrating. At least we aren't getting blown out anymore

[NCMUFan]

Same old story.
Guess, if hadn't seen it so many times before, might be mad.

[Daniel]

Omg

[warriors141]

Wtf was that?

Once we actually get a shot off, it's totally going to go in.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Rewatching that Nigel turnover with 50 seconds to go and he very, very clearly is grabbed on his dribbling arm from behind

Yeah, I think more than one of his TOs could have been a whistle. Tough finish.

[CountryRoads]

Good fight. We played well enough to win.

[NCMUFan]

Nice effort boys.

[mileskishnish72]

Yet another great end-of-game play. That is 100% on the coaches.

[MUJunkie]

Would love for someone in the press to push Shaka during the post game presser on the consistent end of game "last shot" struggles. Draw up something my goodness dude.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Feel bad for the kids.

Invaluable experience for James, Stevens, and Parham.

[21Jumpstreet]

Actually thought Shaka did a solid job with the exception of Hamilton, especially with TOs

[Zog from Margo]

Towel got stuck in the throat again. Played hard but poorly on both ends down th stretch.

Great game for Parham and Stevens until crunch time. Poor games for James and Ross. Going into next year, I'm still only seeing James, Parham and Stevens as legitimate starters. Rest of the team is fairly mediocre. Phillips has a chance.

Good fight. We played well enough to win.

Maybe makes this loss worse, should have won, such a frustrating season.

Nigel may have gotten fouled the possession before, but his overdribbling has been totally unnecessary today.

Refs, refs, refs.....went both ways. If Nova made free throws, not even close.

Nigel on those three possessions under two minutes. Turnover, missed three, turnover.  Ballgame. He dribbles way too much, no passing. 8 turnovers?

Other was MU up 9, MU does it usual double teams, player kicks it out for wide open threes by Perkins.  Three possessions in a row.  Ballgame.

[IL Warrior]

Got screwed on Villanova's final inbound with 14.8 left. They definitely took >5 seconds to get the ball in. Should have been MU ball down by 1.

[WhiteTrash]

A.B.C.

No Cadillac for MU
No steak knives for MU
Yes, transfer portal for MU.

Don't blocked shots still count as a shot? Progress.

Watching it live, I didn't think Askew had both feet down out of bounds when he caught the pass on the baseline. If he didn't, it should have been a line violation. Maybe I was mistaken.

[basedcringeMU]

Lost because of Nigel down game, Royce cramped late after dominating all game, Chase/Ben total nonfactors for the first 30 mins, and bad refereeing. Not the worst thing by any means. Nova are good.

I also know the end-of-game shots have been poor but this one was way different than the others, when you're down 3 and have to avoid the intentional foul. Of course it's gonna be hard to get a good 3 look, inherently much more challenging than just attempting a shot at all in a tie game

[PointWarrior]

Nope, free throws no matta
