MU/XU Game Thread

We played defense for about 10 possessions.

We deserve to lose to this bad Xavier team.

[21Jumpstreet]

Just trap there, X has no time outs. Poor decision

[basedcringeMU]

Another soft foul call. The last ~5 foul calls against us have been very questionable, and if those were evened out + Nigel gets the benefit of that hammering down low, I bet we win this game

[MuggsyB]

Extremely frustrating.  You can go down 21 early. 

[21Jumpstreet]

Good 15 minutes of basketball

[1SE]

Whelp, chalk up another moral victory. How.many of.those can we cash in for a real victory?

[MarquetteMike1977]

Again Too little to late no shakes

[basedcringeMU]

Chase just rubbing it in. The absolute chasm of quality between him and Nigel on full display. God I am so sick of him

[MuggsyB]

Nigel and Royce have to do basically everything for us.  It's just a lot on their plates. 

[MarquetteMike1977]

Last place is ours yet

[drbob]

Typical ending. Different game same story.  At least we know we have 3 keepers. Hopefully true Shaka will hit the portal for next year !

[BCHoopster]

Future is bright if Parhsm and James can help in portal recruits!

[PointWarrior]

Lost to a crap team, we are a crap team.

Last place is ours yet

[MarquetteMike1977]

Yes we self Sabotaged this year. Next year we will be back.

[CountryRoads]

Another good game from Royce. Hopefully he beats out Caedin for a starting spot next year. He'll have to earn it.

[Billy Hoyle]

Future is bright if Parhsm and James can help in portal recruits!

We're going to have to really pony up to keep them, especially James. Darling atSt John's is getting $1 million, James could get at least $1.5 million.

Lost to a crap team, we are a crap team.

We've known that for three plus months.

Only of he gets up 10,000 hook shots over the summer

Shaka's relationship is worth $1M right?

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Big bag for James and Parham next year
With Stevens it is a good core to build on

[MarquetteMike1977]

Shaka's relationship is worth $1M right?

We need the aforementioned trio back of course, but also need 2 additional major pieces.  It's imperative we find them.  This cannot be reiterated enough. 

[mileskishnish72]

Aaaaand there it all goes. Owens has got to finish that on the fastbreak or at the very least not chuck it almost-clean over the rim

I cannot recall a successful fast break this year with DO controlling the ball.

[wisblue]

Swap out Chase Ross and Ben Gold with legitimate stud transfers at their positions and we're cooking next year. Fail to do so and we will be mediocre-to-bad. The assignment is extremely simple for Shaka.

You think it will be "simple" for MU to land "studs". The top experienced players want to go to teams that have chance to go far in the postseason. I don't think that will be an easy sell when competing with teams that are in the top 20 this year and are looking to replace their 23 and 24 year old players with some new ones.

It seems just as likely that MU will lose some of its own better players as it is that they can bring in studs.

I disagree.

It has been reiterated several times more than enough.
